Bergen County Chiropractor Explains Benefits of Exercise For Connective Tissue and Bone Density

May 1, 2011 - PRLog -- Bergen County chiropractor, Dr. Peter Ferraro, explains how regular exercise not only has significant cardiovascular benefits, but can also help maintain and strengthen the body’s store and supply of connective tissue, muscle and bone.

Bergen County chiropractic patients should know that osteoporosis affects more than 10 million women in the United States, and leads to bone mass and possible factures of hip and lumbar vertebras. About 55% of all Americans older than age 50 have low bone mass, even though the human body is actually designed to withstand a large amount of wear and tear. A self-healing, self-renewing machine, the human cell needs regular exercise to continue to regenerate and heal the body.

Weight bearing exercise is most beneficial for Bergen County patients, as one of the primary structural purposes of the bone is load-bearing. Long bones support the weight of your body and skeletal muscles support the functions of the bone, so weight bearing exercise keeps both the bone and muscle strong and working.

If your body is not getting enough physical work, it begins to break down muscle and bone tissue and use those biochemical components elsewhere, where the need is greater. Sufficient exercise regularly and without fail is the best way to keep the bone and muscle tissue from breaking down and possibly leading to lower bone mass and even osteoporosis.

Dr. Ferraro and his team at Ferraro Spine & Rehabilitation can help patients maintain a regular exercise routine by creating customized exercise plans.  Those who become members of Dr Ferraro’s website even have access to videos that demonstrate how to perform various exercises for different body parts.

With two convenient locations in both Bergen and Monmouth Counties, Dr. Ferraro is also very accessible. You can find out more information about exercise, nutrition or treating any other conditions by calling Dr. Ferraro’s office at 973-478-2212 or by visiting http://stopbackandneckpain.com .
