Osteoporotic Vertebral Body Compression Treatment: Personalized Care at Ishaan Ortho & Spine, Bangalore

Ishaan Ortho & Spine, a leading orthopedic center in Bangalore, offers comprehensive diagnosis, treatment, and care for osteoporotic vertebral body compression fractures. Our team of experienced doctors, led by Dr. Subodh M Shetty, is dedicated to providing personalized care plans to manage pain, promote healing, and minimize the risk of future fractures.

Understanding Osteoporotic Vertebral Body Compression Fractures:

Osteoporosis is a bone disease that weakens bones, making them more susceptible to fractures. These fractures can occur anywhere in the body, and the spine, particularly the vertebral bodies, is a vulnerable area. Osteoporotic vertebral body compression fractures, also known as vertebral compression fractures, can cause significant pain, disability, and loss of height.

Symptoms of Osteoporotic Vertebral Body Compression Fractures:

  • Sudden and severe back pain, often described as a “wedge” sensation
  • Worsening pain with movement or activity
  • Height loss or change in posture (kyphosis or hunching of the back)
  • Difficulty standing, walking, or breathing deeply

Causes of Osteoporotic Vertebral Body Compression Fractures:

  • Osteoporosis: The primary risk factor, weakening bones and making them susceptible to fractures even with minimal trauma.
  • Trauma: A fall or other sudden impact, even from a low height, can cause a fracture in individuals with osteoporosis.
  • Compression: Activities that put excessive pressure on the spine, such as heavy lifting, can also contribute to fractures in some cases.

Treatment Options at Ishaan Ortho & Spine:

At Ishaan Ortho & Spine, we offer a multifaceted approach to treating osteoporotic vertebral body compression fractures. Our treatment plans are customized to your specific needs and may include:

  • Pain Management:

    • Medications: Pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications can help manage pain and inflammation.
    • Physical therapy: Specific exercises can improve core strength, posture, and balance to reduce pain and prevent future fractures.
  • Non-surgical interventions:

    • Bracing: Wearing a back brace for support and pain relief may be recommended in some cases, especially for short-term management.
  • Minimally invasive procedures:

    • Vertebral augmentation: These procedures involve injecting medical-grade cement into the fractured vertebra to stabilize it and reduce pain. Examples include:
      • Kyphoplasty: Involves inflating a balloon within the vertebra before injecting cement to restore height and improve alignment.
      • Vertebroplasty: Involves directly injecting cement into the fractured vertebra.

Hospitalization Care:

While many osteoporotic vertebral body compression fractures can be managed on an outpatient basis, certain situations might necessitate hospitalization:

  • Severe pain unresponsive to other treatments
  • Multiple fractures or fractures causing spinal cord compression
  • Difficulty standing or walking independently
  • Requiring vertebral augmentation procedures like kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty

At Ishaan Ortho & Spine, Our commitment and clinic is equipped with advanced facilities to ensure your comfort and well-being during your stay. Our team of specialists will work closely with you to develop a personalized care plan and provide comprehensive support throughout your recovery journey.

Words can hardly convey the incredible transformation that has occurred in our lives, all thanks to the extraordinary Dr. Subodh M. Shetty. He is more than just a doctor; he is our savior, and his impact on our family is immeasurable. My father's struggle with ankylosing spondylitis was nothing short of a nightmare. The mere act of bending was accompanied by a horrifying symphony of joint movement, a sound that served as a constant reminder of the pain he endured every day. His condition left him unable to enjoy the simplest of pleasures, and it weighed heavily on all of us. When we first met Dr. Shetty, my father's situation was further complicated by a dangerously low hemoglobin level. Many doctors might have hesitated, but not Dr. Shetty. He calibrates his approach with a precision that can only be described as miraculous. His unwavering confidence in the face of adversity gave us the strength to proceed with the surgery, despite the odds. During the surgery, Dr. Shetty's skill and expertise shone brightly. He guided my father through the intricate procedure with a steady hand, leaving us with no doubt that we had made the right choice. But Dr. Shetty's care did not stop at the operating room; he provided us with a professional physiotherapist who played a crucial role in managing my father's pain and facilitating his recovery. What truly sets Dr. Shetty apart is his unwavering dedication. He was with us every step of the way, from the initial consultation to my father's complete recovery. His presence was a source of comfort and reassurance, a guiding light in our darkest hours. Our journey with Dr. Shetty began with a simple Google search, "Best Orthopedic Doctor Near Me," and little did we know that this search would change the course of our lives. Dr. Subodh M. Shetty is not just a doctor; he is a miracle worker, a compassionate healer, and a guiding force that has brought light and hope back into our family. To Dr. Shetty, you are not only a gifted surgeon but a true guardian angel. Your skill, dedication, and unwavering support have given my father a new lease on life, and for that, we are forever grateful. You have touched our hearts in ways words can't capture, and we consider ourselves blessed to have found you.
