Auburn Back Surgery Patients Must Exercise

10,080 minutes are in a week.  What do you do with all those minutes? Sleep, eat, talk, work, listen, shop, drive…exercise? Isn’t exercise number one on your list?!  Researchers recommend that we all exercise at least 150 minutes a week. (6) That’s only  

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

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

Benefits of Exercise 

Exercise makes people happier, less depressed and sleep better. (1,2) Auburn chiropractic patients do, too! Hearts and minds are healthier when their owners exercise. (3,4) Just take a walk down your Auburn street, and see how much clearer you think and healthier you feel with your heart pumping. Exercise reduce memory loss. (4) Exercise reduces depressive symptoms. (2) Blood pressure drops. (5) Life span may even be increased due to heart workouts with aerobic exercise. (3)  Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. 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 Auburn back pain sufferers particularly for Auburn 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 states 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 vulnerable 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 leaving them open to degenerative diagnoses, subsequent spine surgery, and more postoperative back pain. (6) 150 minutes a week does not sound like much anymore, does it? Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. knows our Auburn chiropractic patients can find 2.5 hours a week for their back’s sake. It's part of the whole Auburn treatment plan of chiropractic care
