Treatment for Spinal Fractures
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.
