A compression fracture occurs when a vertebra collapses as a result of an accumulation of tiny hairline fractures. It is rare for adults with healthy vertebrae to experience compression fractures – in most cases, the affected vertebra has already been compromised by osteoporosis, infection or injury. When vertebrae are weakened to the point of collapse, even seemingly innocent actions like sneezing or jumping can trigger a compression fracture.
Patients have access to a full range of diagnostics and personalized treatment options. Conservative approaches such as pharmaceuticals, bracing, physical therapy and supplements are able promote healing and stabilize the bone over time for many patients with compression fractures. If a patient has a more extensive case that does not respond to conservative treatment, minimally invasive surgery to stabilize the spine may be recommended.
