Effective Treatment for Osteoporotic Vertebral Body Compression Fractures in Bangalore

Ishaan Ortho & Spine in Bangalore, we understand the challenges associated with Osteoporotic Vertebral Body Compression (OVBC) fractures. These fractures, caused by weakened bones due to osteoporosis, can cause significant back pain and limit your mobility. Our team of experienced spine specialists offers comprehensive treatment plans, including hospitalization care, to help you recover and regain your quality of life.

What are Osteoporotic Vertebral Body Compression Fractures (OVBC)?

OVBC fractures occur when the vertebrae in your spine weaken due to osteoporosis and collapse under pressure. These fractures can happen spontaneously or with minimal trauma, such as a minor fall. Symptoms of OVBC fractures may include:

  • Sudden, severe back pain that worsens with activity and improves with rest
  • Height loss
  • Kyphosis (hunchback deformity)
  • Difficulty breathing (in severe cases)

Treatment Options for OVBC Fractures at Ishaan Ortho & Spine:

Treatment for OVBC fractures depends on the severity of the fracture and your overall health. At Ishaan Ortho & Spine, we offer a range of treatment options, including:

  • Pain Management: Medications, such as pain relievers and muscle relaxants, can help manage pain and discomfort.
  • Rest and Activity Modification: Resting your back and avoiding strenuous activities can allow for healing.
  • Bracing: Wearing a back brace can provide support and help maintain proper posture.
  • Vertebral Augmentation Procedures (VAPs): In some cases, minimally invasive procedures like Kyphoplasty or Vertebroplasty may be recommended to stabilize the fractured vertebrae and reduce pain. These procedures involve injecting medical cement into the fractured vertebrae to restore height and improve stability.
  • Physical Therapy: Physical therapy exercises can help strengthen your core muscles and improve your posture, reducing the risk of future fractures.
  • Osteoporosis Treatment: We will work with you to develop a plan to manage osteoporosis and prevent future fractures. This may include medications, dietary changes, and weight-bearing exercises.

Hospitalization Care for OVBC Fractures:

Depending on the severity of your fracture and your overall health, hospitalization may be necessary for initial pain management and stabilization. Our hospital provides comprehensive care, including:

  • Pain Management: Our team will work to manage your pain effectively through medications and other techniques.
  • Monitoring: Your vital signs and overall health will be closely monitored to ensure proper recovery.

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.
