Vertebral compression fracture how to do

1

. Conservative treatmentFor

mild, stable vertebral compression fractures without neurological symptoms, conservative treatment may be the appropriate choice. Conservative treatment includes strict bed rest for a period of time, during which attention should be paid to preventing complications such as pressure sores, lung infections, and deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities. At the same time, symptomatic treatment such as brace fixation and pain relief can be given to relieve pain and promote recovery. After a period of bed rest, rehabilitation exercises should be gradually started to strengthen the muscles around the spine and restore spinal function.

2. Surgical treatment

When spinal compression fractures are more severe, such as significant loss of vertebral height, fracture instability, or significant nerve compression symptoms, surgical treatment is often necessary. Surgery can be achieved in a variety of ways, such as percutaneous vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty, which can quickly relieve pain and stabilize the spine; In complex cases with nerve compression, open reduction and instrumentation may be required to relieve nerve compression and restore spinal stability.

Rehabilitation

therapy is an integral part of the recovery process, whether conservative or surgical. Rehabilitation therapy includes physical therapy, rehabilitation training, etc. The purpose of rehabilitation therapy is to help patients recover spinal mobility, strengthen muscle strength, improve balance and coordination. Rehabilitation therapy needs to be carried out under the guidance of professional rehabilitation doctors, and individualized rehabilitation programs are formulated according to the specific conditions of patients and implemented step by step.
