Spinal Compression Fracture Treatment

Treatment options for spinal compression fractures vary depending on the severity of the fracture, the patient's age, and overall health.

Non-Surgical Treatment

  • Rest and immobilization: Often recommended initially to allow the fracture to heal naturally.
  • Pain medication: Over-the-counter or prescription pain relievers can help manage discomfort.
  • Bracing or corsets: These devices can help stabilize the spine and reduce pain.
  • Physical therapy: Can help strengthen the back muscles and improve posture.

Surgical Treatment

In cases of severe fractures, severe pain, or neurological symptoms, surgery may be necessary.

  • Smaller incisions: Less scarring and pain.
  • Reduced blood loss: Less need for blood transfusions.
  • Shorter hospital stay: Faster recovery time.
  • Lower risk of complications: Fewer infections and nerve damage.
  • Improved function: Faster return to normal activities.
