Ashburn and Herndon Back Surgery Patients Must Exercise
10,080 minutes are in a week. What do you do with all that time? 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.
That does not seem like much, but we need to schedule it into our busy lives, do we not? Even your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor needs to do that! Time goes by so fast for all of us, including time for your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic physician at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn. Your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic physician at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn encourages Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients to continue doing their exercise routines even when they are feeling better and their back pain is better.

Exercise is life-giving. Exercise is life-supporting. Exercise is all that for normal spine folks but even more important for Ashburn and Herndon back pain sufferers particularly for Ashburn and Herndon 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 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 a week exercise expenditure and left them vulnerable 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? Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn knows our Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients can schedule 2.5 hours a week for their back’s sake. It's part of the whole Ashburn and Herndon treatment plan of chiropractic care.
