Compression Fractures
Compression fractures are small breaks or cracks in the vertebrae, the bones that make up the spine. These fractures often result from weakened bones, commonly due to osteoporosis, or from trauma. At Southern Coast Spine & Pain Specialists, we specialize in diagnosing and treating compression fractures, offering comprehensive pain management and spine care to help you recover and regain your quality of life.
What Are Compression Fractures?
A compression fracture occurs when one or more vertebrae collapse or become compressed, leading to back pain, reduced mobility, and even a change in posture. These fractures are most commonly seen in the thoracic spine (the middle portion of the spine) but can occur in any part of the spinal column.
Osteoporosis is the most common cause of compression fractures, as the bones become brittle and more susceptible to breaking. However, trauma, such as a fall or car accident, and certain types of cancer that affect the bones can also lead to compression fractures.
