Treatment

Traditional treatment for vertebral compression fractures includes bed rest, pain medication, muscle relaxants, external back braces, and physical therapy. Patients who do not respond to conservative treatment or who continue to have severe pain may be helped by an outpatient procedure called Vertebroplasty.

Benefits of vertebroplasty include:

  • Pain relief[1][2]
  • Increased range of motion[1]
  • Return to previous levels of activity[1]
  • Improved quality of life[3][1]
  • Low complication rate[4][5]
  • Outpatient procedure: no overnight hospital stay
  • No general anesthesia
