Groton 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? Is exercise number one on your list?!  It’s 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.

It’s not that much, but we need to schedule it into our busy lives, don’t we? Even your Groton chiropractor needs to do that! Time goes by so quickly for all of us, including time for your Groton chiropractic physician at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office. Your Groton chiropractic physician at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office encourages Groton chiropractic patients to keep up their exercise routines even when they are feeling better and their back pain is better.

Benefits of Exercise 

Exercise makes people happier, less depressed and sleep better. (1,2) Groton chiropractic patients benefit like this, too! Hearts and minds are healthier when their owners exercise. (3,4) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office challenges you to get out and try a walk! See how much clearer you think and healthier you feel as your heart pumps more. Exercise slows memory loss. (4) Exercise decreases depressive symptoms. (2) Blood pressure drops. (5) Life span may even increase due to heart workouts with aerobic exercise. (3)  Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office sees lots of positives 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 Groton back pain sufferers particularly for Groton post-back surgery patients who still experience 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 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 per 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 does not sound like much anymore, does it? Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office knows our Groton chiropractic patients can find 2.5 hours a week for their back’s sake. It's part of the whole Groton treatment plan of chiropractic care
