A compression fracture is a common type of injury that affects the bones, particularly in the spine. It occurs when the bone collapses or becomes compressed due to excessive force or pressure. This often happens in situations such as a fall, sudden impact, or weakening of the bone due to conditions like osteoporosis. Compression fractures can lead to debilitating pain, limited mobility, and in severe cases, nerve damage. Understanding the causes and symptoms of compression fractures is crucial for timely diagnosis and effective treatment to prevent further complications. Symptoms of a compression fracture may include sudden onset back pain, loss of height, and a stooped posture. While some compression fractures may heal on their own with rest and pain management, others may require more aggressive treatment such as bracing or surgery to stabilize the spine. At Premier Spine & Pain we specialize in providing comprehensive care for individuals with compression fractures, offering a range of treatment options tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
