Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
The traditional conservative treatment of vertebral compression fractures include Bed rest , Pain control and
Physical therapy.
Calcitonin nasal spray can be used for the treatment of pain. Muscle relaxants, External support braces and physical therapy modalities may also help.
Patients who do not respond to conservative treatment or who continue to have severe pain may be candidates for percutaneous
vertebroplasty. Percutaneous vertebroplasty involves injecting acrylic cement into the collapsed vertebra to stabilize and strengthen the fracture and vertebral body.
Most patients can make a full recovery or at least significant improvements from their compression fracture after six to 12 weeks, and can return to a normal exercise program after the fracture has fully healed.
A well-balanced diet, regular exercise program, calcium and vitamin D supplements,
smoking cessation, and medications to treat
osteoporosis (such as
bisphosphonates) may help prevent additional compression fractures.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
