Montreal 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? Isn’t exercise number one on your list?! It is recommended that we all put in at least 150 minutes of exercise 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.
That does not seem like much, but we need to schedule it into our busy lives, do we not? Even your Montreal chiropractor needs to do that! Time goes by so fast for everyone, including time for your Montreal chiropractic physician at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic. Your Montreal chiropractic physician at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic encourages Montreal chiropractic patients to continue doing their exercise routines even when they are feeling better and their back pain is better.

Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic encourages you to see the positives!
Exercise is life-giving. Exercise is life-supporting. Exercise is all that for normal spine folks but even more important for Montreal back pain sufferers especially for Montreal post-back surgery patients who still experience back pain. Post-surgical patients who exercise 150 minutes a week show a significant decrease in pain and reoperation rate states 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 (called a revision surgery). Only 26% of post back surgery patients met the more than 150 minutes a week of exercise opening them to the risk of degenerative diagnoses, subsequent spine surgery, and more postoperative back pain. (6) 150 minutes a week does not sound like much anymore, does it? Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic knows our Montreal chiropractic patients can arrange 2.5 hours a week for their back’s sake. It's part of the whole Montreal treatment plan of chiropractic care.
