Causes of Acute Compression Fractures

• Osteoporosis: This condition weakens bones, increasing the risk of fractures.
• Trauma: Such as accidents or falls that exert high impact on the spine.
• Bone Cancer: Tumors can compromise the vertebral bone's integrity, making fractures more likely.

Symptoms of Acute Compression Fractures

• Pain: Sudden back pain, especially when standing or walking.
• Postural Changes: Such as a forward hunch or decreased height.
• Limited Mobility: Challenges in bending or twisting.
• Nerve Symptoms: Tingling, numbness, or weakness from nerve compression.

Treatment Options for Acute Compression Fractures

Non-Surgical Approaches:

• Pain Injections: To reduce pain and inflammation in the affected area.
• Bracing: To support and stabilize the spine during the healing process.
• Physical Therapy: Exercises designed to strengthen the spine and improve mobility.
