Vertebral Fractures

Vertebral fractures occur when one or more bones in the spine break, often due to injury, osteoporosis (a condition that weakens bones), or other medical issues. These fractures can cause severe back pain, limit movement, and lead to a hunched posture. In some cases, fractures might not be immediately noticeable but can lead to complications over time. Treatment often includes pain management, physical therapy, and sometimes surgery, depending on the severity of the fracture and the individual's overall health. Proper diagnosis and care are essential for recovery and to prevent future fractures.
