Auburn Chiropractic Exercise Plans for Post-Surgery Care

March 21, 2017

10,080 minutes are in a week.  What do you do with all that time? Sleep, eat, talk, work, listen, shop, drive…exercise? Is exercise number one on your list?!  It’s recommended that we all put in at least 150 minutes of exercise 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’s not that much, but we need to schedule it into our busy lives, do we not? Even your Auburn chiropractor needs to do that! Time goes by so quickly for everyone, 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 keep up their exercise routines even when they are feeling better and their back pain is better.

(4) Exercise decreases depressive symptoms. (2) Blood pressure drops. (5) Life span may even increase due to heart workouts with aerobic exercise. (3)  What do you think of all these possibilities? Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. encourages you to see the positives!

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 decrease in pain and reoperation rate reports a new study of post-surgery back pain patients. In this study the mean age was 57 years old. 80% of them had degenerative diagnoses. 63% had gone through a multilevel back surgery. Only 35% of them met the greater than 1400 kcal a week exercise expenditure and left them open to a second surgery (named 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 doesn’t sound like much anymore, does it? Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. knows our Auburn chiropractic patients can schedule 2.5 hours a week for their back’s sake. It's part of the whole Auburn treatment plan of chiropractic care
