Compression Fractures

Personalized Compression Fracture Pain Management

Do you experience persistent back pain that worsens with movement? Is standing, walking, or bending becoming more difficult? It can be a compression fracture. This fracture is a common spinal injury that occurs when a vertebra collapses due to osteoporosis or other underlying conditions.

Compression fractures can lead to chronic pain and reduced mobility. In some cases it can cause spinal deformities and even height loss. Symptoms may start mild but can worsen over time, interfering with daily activities and quality of life. 

Compression fractures happen in older adults with weak bones. This condition is known as osteoporosis. About 1 in 4 women over 50 will have this type of fracture in their lifetime, and by age 80, that number goes up to 40%. Men over 65 are also at risk, but not as much as women.

You can visit Moderni Clinic in Minnetonka, MN to diagnose and treat Compression Fracture with personalized care.
