Vertebral Compression Fractures Specialist

Vertebral compression fractures can cause sudden or persistent back pain, reduced mobility, and changes in posture. BioHealth Pain Management provides personalized treatment to relieve pain, stabilize the spine, and help patients return to daily activities.

What Is a Vertebral Compression Fracture?

A vertebral compression fracture occurs when a vertebra weakens and collapses. These fractures commonly develop because of osteoporosis but may also result from trauma, certain cancers, or other conditions that weaken the bones.
Symptoms may include:

• udden or worsening back pain
• Pain that increases while standing or walking
• Reduced spinal mobility
• Loss of height
• Stooped or hunched posture
• Tenderness near the affected vertebra

Some compression fractures develop gradually and cause few noticeable symptoms.

Benefits of Compression Fracture Treatment

Personalized treatment may help reduce pain, improve mobility, stabilize the affected vertebra, and prevent further changes in posture or function.
If sudden or persistent back pain is limiting your movement, contact BioHealth Pain Management at 424-360-0066 to schedule an evaluation.

How Are Vertebral Compression Fractures Treated?

Treatment depends on the fracture’s cause and severity. Options may include medication, bracing, activity modifications, physical therapy, and treatment for osteoporosis. Persistent or severe pain may be treated with vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, or another appropriate procedure.
