Real Patient Testimonials
What Is a Compression Fracture?
Your spine bears a lot of pressure; over time, this can cause tiny cracks in your vertebrae that eventually lead to a compression fracture. When you have a compression fracture, your weakened vertebra collapses. Compression fractures occur most often in the lower and middle back.
Compression fractures cause debilitating pain and reduced mobility, which eventually lead to impaired overall health. Compression fractures can also lead to spinal deformities.
For example, a compression fracture can cause your spine to hunch forward, leading to a humped back. You may also lose height because of a compression fracture.
What Causes Compression Fractures?
Compression fractures are usually caused by a combination of pressure and consistent bending. Conditions such as osteoporosis, which thins and weakens your bones, also contribute to your risk of compression fractures. You may also develop a compression fracture following a traumatic injury to your back.
How Are Compression Fractures Diagnosed?
At Source Healthcare, your doctor provides a comprehensive exam to confirm the cause of your back pain.
The physician will talk to you about your symptoms, overall health, and lifestyle and feel your spine for abnormalities or deformities.
Your doctor may ask you to walk around the office or bend and twist so s/he can see how your movement is impaired.
Your doctor may also order a diagnostic imaging test such as an X-ray or MRI to assess the severity of your injury and pinpoint the location of your compression fracture.
