Nashua 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? Exercise does not usually appear in at number one on most people’s lists of favorite things to do with their time.  Researchers recommend that we all 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 Nashua chiropractor needs to do that! Time goes by so quickly for everyone, including time for your Nashua chiropractic physician at Moriarty Chiropractic. Your Nashua chiropractic physician at Moriarty Chiropractic encourages Nashua chiropractic patients to continue doing their exercise routines even when they are feeling better and their back pain is better.

Exercise makes people happier, less depressed and sleep better. (1,2) Nashua chiropractic patients benefit like this, too! Hearts and minds are healthier when their owners exercise. (3,4) Moriarty Chiropractic 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 decreases depressive symptoms. (2) Blood pressure falls. (5) Life span may even be increased due to heart workouts with aerobic exercise. (3)  Moriarty Chiropractic 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 significant for Nashua back pain sufferers particularly for Nashua post-back surgery patients who still have back pain. Post-surgical patients who exercise 150 minutes a week show a notable 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 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? Moriarty Chiropractic knows our Nashua chiropractic patients can schedule 2.5 hours a week for their back’s sake. It's part of the whole Nashua treatment plan of chiropractic care.
