Vertebral Fractures Treatment

A vertebral fracture is a break in one of the spinal bones that can cause sudden, severe back pain and, in some cases, changes in posture. Dr. Sanjay Rawat provides expert vertebral fracture treatment in Indore, from conservative management to surgical stabilization.

About Vertebral Fractures Treatment

Vertebral fractures most commonly occur due to osteoporosis, where weakened bones can fracture even with minor stress, or from significant trauma such as falls and road traffic accidents in younger patients. Compression fractures, the most common type, cause the front of the vertebra to collapse, sometimes leading to a stooped posture over time if multiple fractures occur. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment help manage pain and prevent further spinal deformity.

Symptoms of Vertebral Fractures Treatment

• Sudden, sharp back pain following an injury
• Gradual height loss with multiple compression fractures
• A stooped or hunched posture over time
• Pain that worsens with standing or walking
• Localized tenderness over the fractured vertebra

Causes of Vertebral Fractures Treatment

• Osteoporosis weakening the vertebral bone
• Falls, particularly in older adults
• High-impact trauma such as road accidents
• Certain cancers affecting bone strength
• Prolonged corticosteroid use

Diagnosis

• Clinical examination and detailed injury history
• X-ray to confirm fracture location and severity
• MRI to assess fracture age and nerve involvement
• Bone density testing to evaluate osteoporosis

Treatment Options

• Pain management and activity modification
• Bracing to support the spine during healing
• Vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty for painful compression fractures
• Surgical stabilization for unstable or severe fractures
