Spinal Fractures

Spinal fractures are breaks in the bones of the spine, known as vertebrae. They can occur due to trauma, such as falls or car accidents, or from conditions like osteoporosis, where bones become weak. Symptoms may include severe back pain, difficulty moving, or numbness if nerves are affected. Treatment varies based on severity and may involve rest, bracing, or surgery. Recovery often includes physical therapy to strengthen muscles and improve mobility. Prompt medical attention is important to prevent complications and ensure proper healing.
