A compression fracture in your back occurs when one or more of the spinal vertebrae collapse. Vertebrae are the chain of bones in your spine that protects the spinal cord, allows for movement, and supports your weight. When that chain is damaged, you experience severe pain that requires the expertise of a pain management specialist who understands the complexities back pain.
The most common location for a compression fracture is on the lower part of your thoracic spine, causing middle back pain.
These types of fractures can cause severe back pain, constriction of spinal blood flow, and a reduction in your height. Extensive imaging tests can help your doctor at Redefine Healthcare pinpoint the source of your discomfort so that you receive targeted compression fracture treatment.

When compression fractures appear suddenly after an accident, sports injury, or sudden inappropriate movement, they tend to exhibit symptoms that include:
Compression fractures due to osteoporosis tend to develop over time and have symptoms such as:

If the compression fracture did not injure the spinal cord, basic treatments might include:
