When part of the vertebrae, the bone spine, collapses, the condition is termed as a compression fracture. Sometimes, more than one spine fracture can occur which is known as multiple compression fractures. The main reason behind these fractures are trauma, injury, age, and harsh physical activities that may need treatments like kyphoplasty and minimal invasive surgery San Antonio.
Symptoms Of Compression Fractures Are As Follow
- Pain in the back, arms, or legs.
- Numbness or weakness in arms as well as legs.
- Loss of height over a time period.
- When the spine collapses, your vertebrae start to bend and you may feel neck or back pain as well.
- If your spine is severely compressed, lungs may not work properly and you have trouble breathing.
A compression fracture that occurs suddenly can be very painful, but a compression fracture that occurs gradually may cause pain over time.
Regardless of how compression fractures occur, it’s important to consult the doctor at the Spine Center of Texas, especially when you notice any of the symptoms mentioned above. We specialize in kyphoplasty and minimal invasive surgery San Antonio.
