Fort Wayne Chiropractic Exercise Plans for Post-Surgery Care

March 21, 2017

10,080 minutes are in a week.  What do you do with all those minutes? Sleep, eat, talk, work, listen, shop, drive…exercise? Is exercise number one on your list?!  It’s recommended that all of us exercise at least 150 minutes a week. (6) That’s just  

  • 2 and a half hours a week.
  • 5 sessions of 30 minutes a week.
  • 10 sessions of 15 minutes a week.

It’s not that much, but we need to schedule it into our busy lives, don’t we? Even your Fort Wayne chiropractor needs to do that! Time goes by so quickly for all of us, including time for your Fort Wayne chiropractic physician at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic. Your Fort Wayne chiropractic physician at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic encourages Fort Wayne chiropractic patients to continue doing their exercise routines even when their Fort Wayne back pain is not so bad.

Benefits of Exercise 

People sleep better, are happier and less depressed when they exercise. (1,2) Fort Wayne chiropractic patients benefit like this, too! Hearts and minds are healthier when their owners exercise. (3,4) Just take a walk down your Fort Wayne street, and see how much clearer you think and healthier you feel as your heart pumps more. Exercise slows memory loss. (4) Exercise decreases depressive symptoms. (2) Blood pressure falls. (5) Life span may even be increased due to heart workouts with aerobic exercise. (3)  Aaron Chiropractic Clinic sees lots of positives from all of these!

Exercise is life-giving. Exercise is life-supporting. Exercise is all that for normal spine folks but even more crucial for Fort Wayne back pain sufferers particularly for Fort Wayne post-back surgery patients who still experience back pain. Post-surgical patients who exercise 150 minutes a week show a remarkable reduction in pain and reoperation rate reports a new study of post-surgery back pain patients. In this study the mean age was 57 years of age. 80% of them had degenerative diagnoses. 63% had gone through a multilevel back surgery. Only 35% of them met the greater than 1400 kcal per week exercise expenditure and left them open to a second surgery (called a revision surgery). Only 26% of post back surgery patients met the more than 150 minutes a week of exercise opening them to the risk of degenerative diagnoses, subsequent spine surgery, and more postoperative back pain. (6) 150 minutes a week doesn’t sound like much anymore, does it? Aaron Chiropractic Clinic knows our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients can find 2.5 hours a week for their back’s sake. It's part of the whole Fort Wayne treatment plan of chiropractic care
