What is a Spine Compression Fracture?
A Spine Compression Fracture occurs when one of the vertebrae in the spine collapses due to trauma,
osteoporosis, or weakened bones. This causes sudden back pain, reduced mobility, and sometimes a hunched
posture. At
AK Spine & Ortho Clinic, we provide advanced diagnostic and minimally invasive treatment
options to stabilize the spine, reduce pain, and restore function.
When Do You Need Treatment for Spine Compression Fracture?
- Sudden, severe back pain after bending,
lifting, or a minor fall
- Spine tenderness or pain when standing or
walking
- Loss of height or visible hump in the upper
back
- Osteoporosis with increasing back pain
- Pain that does not improve with rest or
medication
How We Treat Spine Compression Fractures:
- Clinical Examination: Evaluation of spine stability, alignment, and pain location.
- Imaging Tests: X-ray, MRI, or CT scan to identify fracture severity and nerve
involvement.
- Pain Management: Medications and targeted treatments to reduce inflammation and
discomfort.
- Spine Bracing: Supportive braces to stabilize the spine and promote healing.
- Physiotherapy: Specific exercises to strengthen back muscles and improve posture.
- Minimally Invasive Procedures: Vertebroplasty or Kyphoplasty to stabilize the
fractured vertebra and provide rapid pain relief.
At AK Spine & Ortho Clinic, we focus on quick pain relief, spine stability, and restoring
your mobility after a compression fracture. With early diagnosis and advanced treatment options, we help
you return to normal activities safely and confidently.
