About Compression Fractures
Compression fractures in the low back typically occur in older
individuals and those suffering from osteoporosis. However, with severe
trauma, such as in an accident, the force can cause a compression
fracture in the bones of the spine (vertebrae). There are many minimally
invasive surgical procedures today that can stabilize the broken area,
such as kyphoplasty.
The goal with managing compression fractures is to stabilize pieces of bone from moving around and allow time for the bone to heal. Dealing with a compression fracture can be quite painful. Difficulty with getting up/down from bed, a chair and even difficulty walking are experienced.
