Treatment for Spinal Fractures

Specific treatment for sciatica will be determined by your physician based on:

• Your age, overall health, and medical history
• Extent of the disease
• Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
• Expectations for the course of the disease
• Your opinion or preference
  

To help relieve the symptoms of spinal fractures and facilitate healing of the injury, treatment may include:

• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications
• Neck collar or back brace
• Halo vest immobilization
• Surgery may involve vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty where bone cement is injected into the fracture or fusion procedures to stabilize the area of injury.
