SPINAL FRACTURES
At MVM Health, we focus on healing spinal fractures at their source—not just managing the immediate pain. Our goal is to relieve pain, restore stability, and help you regain mobility for a full recovery.
Find Effective Treatment for Spinal Fractures
As the body’s central support structure, the spine is a complex system of vertebrae, discs, and joints that allows for both stability and movement. A break or crack in a vertebra, known as a spinal fracture, can severely compromise this stability, leading to intense pain, potential nerve damage, and a significant loss of mobility if not treated correctly.
Effective treatment starts with a precise diagnosis. At MVM Health, our specialists first identify the exact details and cause of your fracture, whether from an injury or a medical condition. We then use this information to create a custom care plan that targets proper healing and the restoration of your mobility and spinal health.
MVM Health provides advanced treatments specifically designed to stabilize the spine, manage pain, and foster a full recovery. Don’t let a spinal fracture hold you back. Contact us today to arrange your initial consultation and begin your personalized path to healing and restoring your active life.
Understanding the Causes of Spinal Fractures
While many assume spinal fractures only result from severe accidents, they often occur due to underlying conditions that weaken the vertebrae. The most frequent type, a vertebral compression fracture (VCF), is commonly caused by osteoporosis, a condition that makes bones brittle. In such cases, a fracture can occur from minimal trauma, like a minor fall, a strong sneeze, or even just lifting a light object.
Common signs and symptoms associated with spinal fractures include:
A noticeable loss of height over time.
Development of a stooped or hunched posture (kyphosis).
Difficulty bending or twisting your back.
Sudden and severe back pain that gets worse with standing or walking.
Pain that lessens when lying down.
Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the limbs

What Interventional Pain Management Options Are Available for Spinal Fractures?
While interventional pain management does not heal the bone itself, it can greatly reduce the associated acute and chronic pain, allowing for a more comfortable recovery and enhancing your daily quality of life. At MVM Health, your care begins with a thorough consultation, where our specialists carefully evaluate the source of your fracture-related pain and design a personalized treatment plan aimed at long-term relief.
Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty (to stabilize compression fractures)
Epidural Steroid Injections (for nerve-related pain)
Facet Joint Injections
Radiofrequency Ablation
Medial Branch Blocks
Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Injections
Trigger Point Injections (for muscle spasms)
Harnessing Regenerative Medicine for Spinal Fracture Recovery
At MVM Health, we complement our advanced interventional treatments with the power of state-of-the-art regenerative therapies, including PRP (platelet-rich plasma), stem cell therapy, and amniotic fluid injections. These innovative biologic treatments use concentrated growth factors to accelerate your body’s innate healing capabilities, specifically targeting the fracture site to promote bone repair, reduce inflammation, and heal damaged surrounding tissues.
Your journey with regenerative medicine begins with a personal consultation. Our specialists will walk you through each option, helping you determine which therapy best aligns with your specific injury and goals. These treatments can be seamlessly integrated with an ongoing interventional pain management plan or initiated as a next step in your healing process.
Diagnosing Post-Surgical Pain in Spinal Fracture Patients at MVM Health
Persistent pain after spinal fracture surgery can be frustrating and disruptive to daily life. At MVM Health, our specialists take a thorough and systematic approach to identify the underlying cause of post-surgical discomfort. Using advanced diagnostic tools—such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and nerve studies—we carefully evaluate your spine and surrounding structures to pinpoint the source of pain. By understanding the specific reasons behind your post-operative spinal issues, we can develop a personalized treatment plan aimed at reducing pain, restoring function, and improving your overall quality of life.
A Collaborative Approach to Post-Surgical Spinal Fracture Relief
The road to recovery after spinal fracture surgery can present its own challenges, particularly if you experience persistent pain or issues with spinal stability.

FAQ
What are the common symptoms of a spinal fracture?
Common symptoms include sudden, severe back or neck pain that worsens with movement, height loss, and a hunched posture. Some patients may also experience numbness, tingling, weakness, or bowel/bladder issues.
What causes spinal fractures?
Fractures are typically caused by trauma, such as car accidents or falls, or degenerative conditions like osteoporosis, which makes bones brittle and susceptible to breaking during simple, everyday activities.
What interventional treatments are available?
Minimally invasive procedures like vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty stabilize fractures by injecting bone cement. Other options include nerve blocks, epidural steroid injections, and radiofrequency ablation to manage acute or chronic pain.
How are spinal fractures diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves a physical examination and imaging tests, such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs. Doctors may also use bone density tests to assess if osteoporosis contributed to the fracture.
Can regenerative medicine aid in fracture recovery?
Yes, regenerative therapies like stem cell therapy or PRP may help by using concentrated growth factors to reduce inflammation, stimulate bone regeneration, and support the healing of damaged spinal tissues.
What causes persistent pain after fracture surgery?
Persistent pain may occur due to incomplete healing, scar tissue formation, muscle weakness, nerve irritation, or in rare cases, an underlying infection or mechanical issues with hardware placed during surgery.
