Expert Care for Compression Fractures
At NovaSpine Pain Institute, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of compression fractures, helping you find relief and regain mobility. Our team of interventional pain management specialists is dedicated to providing personalized care tailored to your unique needs.
Understanding Compression Fractures
Compression fractures occur when the vertebrae in the spine become weakened and collapse under pressure. Common causes include:
- Osteoporosis: A condition that weakens bones, making them more susceptible to fractures.
- Trauma: Falls or accidents can lead to sudden compression fractures.
- Tumors: Cancerous growths can weaken vertebrae and lead to fractures.
Symptoms of compression fractures may include:
- Sudden back pain, which may worsen with movement.
- Height loss over time.
- A stooped posture or spinal deformity.
Our Approach to Treatment
At NovaSpine, we utilize a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to effectively manage compression fractures. Our treatment options may include:
1. Comprehensive Evaluation: We start with an in-depth assessment that includes your medical history, physical examination, and imaging studies, such as X-rays or MRIs, to determine the extent of the fracture and underlying causes.
2. Pain Management Techniques: To alleviate pain, we offer a range of options:
- Epidural Steroid Injections: To reduce inflammation and pain in the affected area.
- Nerve Blocks: Targeting specific nerves to provide significant relief.
3. Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty: These minimally invasive procedures involve injecting bone cement into the fractured vertebra to stabilize it and relieve pain. Kyphoplasty also includes a balloon to restore some vertebral height before cement insertion.
4. Physical Therapy: Our rehabilitation team will work with you to develop a tailored exercise program aimed at strengthening your back muscles, improving posture, and enhancing overall mobility.
5. Medications: We may prescribe medications to manage pain and help strengthen your bones, such as bisphosphonates or vitamin D supplements.
6. Lifestyle Education: Understanding how to prevent future fractures is crucial. Our specialists will provide guidance on nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle modifications to enhance bone health.
