Carrolltown 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? Exercise does not always appear in at number one on most people’s lists of favorite things to do with their time. It is recommended 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.
That doesn’t seem like much, but we need to schedule it into our busy lives, don’t we? Even your Carrolltown chiropractor needs to do that! Time goes by so quickly for everyone, including time for your Carrolltown chiropractic physician at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation. Your Carrolltown chiropractic physician at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation encourages Carrolltown chiropractic patients to continue doing their exercise routines even when their Carrolltown back pain is not so bad.

Exercise is life-giving. Exercise is life-supporting. Exercise is all that for normal spine folks but even more important for Carrolltown back pain sufferers especially for Carrolltown post-back surgery patients who still have back pain. Post-surgical patients who exercise 150 minutes a week show a significant 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 (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 doesn’t sound like much anymore, does it? Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation knows our Carrolltown chiropractic patients can find 2.5 hours a week for their back’s sake. It's part of the whole Carrolltown treatment plan of chiropractic care.
