Nonsurgical Spinal Fracture Treatment

Page 1

Nonsurgical Spinal Fracture Treatment Represents Promising Alternative to Surgery Studies show that managing spinal fracture treatment non-surgically represents a highly promising alternative to traditional treatments. Compression fractures of the spine usually occur due to osteoporosis, where the space between vertebrae decreases following injury. Patient height can decrease by up to 20% in more serious cases. Additionally, the abnormal movement between the two affected vertebrae causes considerable pain as well as spinal cord damage. Other types of injury include thoracic and lumbar spine injuries, all of which occur from highimpact trauma. Accidents involving cars or motorcycles falls from great heights, sporting accidents, and violent injuries like gunshots all cause spinal fractures. Furthermore, bone insufficiency, where the bone becomes weakened by osteoporosis tumors, are one of the most common causes of spinal fractures.

Non-surgical spinal fracture treatment involves doctors fitting patients with orthotic vests or braces. The objective of this is to prevent rotational movement of the spine, stabilizing it over


time. This allows the body to heal naturally. It is also far less invasive than surgical treatments which may potentially cause undue complications. Research has demonstrated that nonsurgical treatment benefits patients suffering from spinal cord injuries such as fractures and even paraplegia. The treatment process provides a sufficiently stabilized environment for the upper body and axial skeleton, providing necessary support to heal. Moreover, a wide range of external braces, the patient can still exhibit a near-complete range of motion with little effort. Furthermore, non-surgical spinal fracture treatment methods have fully rehabilitated thousands of patients all over America. Vascular and PAD treatment centers like USA Vascular Centers specialize in treating a wide variety of conditions. Spinal fracture treatment is among their proficiencies, having rehabilitated thousands of patients across the country. USA Vascular Centers maintains facilities in several states and cities, including Illinois and New York, offering treatments for conditions such as peripheral artery disease and pelvic congestion syndrome. With PAD treatment centers in several major cities, and multiple centers specializing in spinal fracture treatments both surgical and nonsurgical, USA Vascular Centers comes highly recommended.
