Compression fractures are serious spinal injuries that require timely medical intervention to prevent long-term complications. Let s explore the causes, symptoms, and treatments for compression fractures, and understand the importance of consulting a specialist. What is a Compression Fracture
A compression fracture occurs when the vertebrae (the bones in your spine) collapse, compressing the spine and causing pain, reduced mobility, and other complications. This type of fracture is common in conditions that weaken bones, making them susceptible to breaks. Causes of Compression Fractures Some of the primary causes include: Osteoporosis: A condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and prone to fractures. Spinal Injuries : Trauma or accidents can result in fractures in the vertebrae. Tumors in the Spine : Some cancers spread to the spine, weakening the bones and increasing the risk of fractures. Symptoms of Compression Fractures If you re experiencing a compression fracture, you may notice: Severe Back Pain : Often localized in the mid or lower back. Limited Mobility : Difficulty in moving or performing everyday activities. Decreased Height : Spinal compression can cause a slight reduction in height over time. Spinal Deformity : Often appears as a curved or hunched back (kyphosis). Treatment Options There are several treatment options for managing and alleviating the symptoms of a compression fracture: 1. Pain-Relief Medications : Over-the-counter or prescribed medications to manage pain. 2. Physiotherapy : Exercises that help strengthen the spine, improving stability and reducing pain. 3. Spinal Bracing : Wearing a brace can help support the spine during recovery. 4. Surgical Interventions : In severe cases, surgical procedures like vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty may be recommended to stabilize the spine. Important Precautions
