Treatment Options for Vertebral Compression Fracture in AZ
Many underlying spine conditions can lead to acute or chronic back pain, leaving patients wondering what could be the cause. At DISC, our orthopedic surgeons will determine an accurate diagnosis so we can provide you with treatment options based on your condition.
Our Personalized Pain Diagnostics (PPD) utilize proprietary diagnostic techniques as well as the latest technology to pinpoint your specific pain generator — whether it’s a vertebral compression fracture or another underlying condition. With an accurate diagnosis comes more precise treatment options. We are leaders in minimally invasive spine care, including conservative treatment and endoscopic surgical techniques.
We first start with nonoperative options to provide pain management and treatment that allows healing to take place, including:
- Medication: We may provide analgesic medication to provide pain relief or medications that can help improve bone density.
- Back bracing: The use of a back brace provides support and reduces motion of the injured vertebrae, giving the spine a chance to heal.
- Therapeutic injections: Injections can provide incredible pain relief and reduce inflammation at the injury site.
If conservative treatment options prove ineffective, the board-certified surgeons at DISC specialize in a wide range of surgical options, from minimally invasive procedures to more traditional spine surgeries. Surgery for vertebral compression fracture focuses on stabilizing the collapsed vertebrae. Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are ultra-minimally invasive surgical procedures that treat vertebral compression fractures of the spine.
