Vertebral Compression Fractures
Vertebral compression fractures occur when a vertebra in the spine loses height by partially collapsing. They can happen after a fall, physical strain, or when the bone has become more fragile.
Common symptoms: back pain that may come on suddenly, worsen when standing or walking and, over time, changes in posture or loss of height.
Contributing factors: bone fragility, age, and trauma.
Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist, especially one who focuses on the spine, and the trauma surgeon evaluate this condition, with support from the radiologist for imaging. If you have persistent or severe back pain, the sensible step is to seek a professional evaluation.
