Imagine a life free from the constraints of back pain, where you can participate in the activities you love and spend quality time with your loved ones. Kyphoplasty provides a beacon of hope, guiding you towards a brighter future filled with vitality and joy.
Kyphoplasty is a procedure used to treat vertebral compression fractures, which occur when one or more vertebrae in the spine collapse or become compressed. These fractures typically happen in the thoracic or lumbar regions of the spine. Vertebral compression fractures can be caused by various factors:
Trauma
A sudden and forceful impact or injury to the spine can result in a vertebral compression fracture. Examples include falls, motor vehicle accidents, or sports-related injuries.
Tumors
Cancerous or benign tumors that develop in or near the spine can weaken the vertebrae, increasing the likelihood of fractures. These tumors can either originate in the spine (primary tumors) or spread from other parts of the body (metastatic tumors).
Osteoporosis
This is the most common cause of vertebral compression fractures, particularly among older individuals. Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by weakened and brittle bones, making them more susceptible to fractures even from minor trauma or stress.
Every day, thousands of individuals just like you wake up to the harsh reality of debilitating back pain. It's a constant reminder of the life they once had and the freedom they yearn to regain.

Your questions answered
Common questions
What are compression fractures? What does Kyphoplasty do?
Compression fractures are crush injuries affecting the vertebrae. They sometimes occur when the bone comes under excessive force, like falling on your feet from a significant height. However, by far the most common cause is osteoporosis.
Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure for restoring height to vertebrae (spinal bones) affected by compression fractures. This procedure immediately improves the pain caused by the compression fractures.
How does osteoporosis cause compression fractures?
Osteoporosis develops when the bones throughout your body weaken, making them vulnerable to breaks. It usually worsens over the years as the bones gradually lose density, a problem that’s especially common in women after menopause because of falling levels of estrogen (a female sex hormone).
Osteoporosis significantly increases your fracture risk as bones snap far more easily — twisting, coughing, sneezing, or lifting could all result in a fracture. Older people often suffer from hip fractures after falls because of osteoporosis.
In the spine, vertebrae weakened by osteoporosis collapse at the front, leaving the back higher and forming a wedge shape. The vertebrae in your thoracic spine (upper back) might suffer a series of compression fractures that creates an abnormal curvature (kyphosis) known as a dowager’s hump.
How does kyphoplasty treat compression fractures?
The first stage of kyphoplasty involves inserting a tiny balloon into the damaged vertebra. Your MVM Health pain physician inflates the balloon, which raises the crushed part of the vertebra. Then they inject bone cement to secure the raised area.
If inflating a kyphoplasty balloon in your spine isn’t possible, your provider can just inject bone cement to stabilize the area. This procedure is called vertebroplasty.
What does having kyphoplasty for compression fractures involve?
Kyphoplasty is an outpatient procedure. You have a sedative, so you feel calm and sleepy, and a local anesthetic injection at the treatment site. When kyphoplasty is complete, you wait in the recovery area for the sedative to wear off, then you can go home.
You might feel sore for a few days, but this soon disappears. You should avoid vigorous physical activities for a while so the area heals properly. Many patients enjoy an immediate reduction in pain, while for others it takes a couple of days to feel the full benefits.

Dr. Orhurhu is an exceptional physician. He took the time to explain the source of my pain. He educated me regarding my options and took the time to explain both conservative and interventional options for my pain. He did not pressure me to make any decision and he uses scientific evidence for his suggestion. Great doctor. Will send my friends to him.
Dr. Vmaire Orhurhu is the best Doctor I have ever been to!!! ❤️

I’m so grateful to Dr. Osman. He really listened to what I was saying and took his time to help me with my pain. No pills. I’ve seen other Drs for my pain but they couldn’t figure it out. I think Dr. Osman’s ability to pay attention and really hear me made all the difference. Lucas at the front desk is so nice and patient and he answered any questions I asked him. I encourage anyone with chronic pain to go to MVM.
Dr. Orhurhu is absolutely amazing! He is the most knowledgeable and personable doctor I have met in a long while. His diagnosis and treatment of my chronic back pain involved him listening to me and proposing a pain management plan that incorporated PT and my PCP. I am very impressed with his ability to listen and his extensive knowledge about how the body functions. I am recommending him to everyone I know that is dealing with pain management issues.
