Compression Fractures: Minimally Invasive Options for Fast Pain Relief
Compression fractures can cause sudden, severe back pain. Explore treatment options that restore stability and reduce discomfort.
These occur when a vertebra in the spine collapses, often due to osteoporosis, injury, or cancer. Microfractures are smaller cracks that may build up over time.
Signs you may have a compression fracture:
- Sudden, sharp back pain
- Pain that worsens when standing or walking
- Loss of height or stooped posture
Treatment options at Acute Pain Therapies include:
- Kyphoplasty & vertebroplasty – Minimally invasive procedures to stabilize the fracture and relieve pain.
- Pain management injections – Reduce discomfort while healing.
- Bone-strengthening medications – Prevent future fractures.
- Physical therapy guidance – Maintain mobility and spinal health.
Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent further damage and speed your recovery.
