New York City 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? Isn’t exercise number one on your list?!  It’s recommended that all of us 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 New York City chiropractor needs to do that! Time goes by so quickly for everyone, including time for your New York City chiropractic physician at Rosenberg Wellness Center. Your New York City chiropractic physician at Rosenberg Wellness Center encourages New York City chiropractic patients to continue doing their exercise routines even when their New York City back pain is not so bad.

Benefits of Exercise 

People sleep better, are happier and less depressed when they exercise. (1,2) New York City chiropractic patients do, too! Hearts and minds are healthier when their owners exercise. (3,4) Rosenberg Wellness Center challenges you to get out and try a walk! See how much clearer you think and better you feel as your heart pumps more. 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)  Rosenberg Wellness Center sees lots of advantages 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 New York City back pain sufferers particularly for New York City 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 per week exercise expenditure and left them vulnerable to a second surgery (named a revision surgery). Only 26% of post back surgery patients met the greater 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? Rosenberg Wellness Center knows our New York City chiropractic patients can find 2.5 hours a week for their back’s sake. It's part of the whole New York City treatment plan of chiropractic care
