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.
