What are compressed vertebrae?
Compressed vertebrae is a condition that is the result of spine fracture. Finally, contributing to the collapse of the spine, compressed vertebrae often occur in the presence of osteoporosis or damage. Those who have compressed vertebrae can remain asymptomatic, which means that they do not experience any symptoms or develop intense back pain that is central to the placement of the vertebra that experiences compression. The treatment of compressed vertebrae depends on the location, cause and severity of the spine fracture. Usually, initial physical examination is performed to evaluate the physical presentation of the back and spine of the individual. If the display tests are suspected, including computer tomography (CT) scanning and X -ray scanning and X -ray, to assess the status of the spine and the range of compression. For those who have not been diagnosed with osteoporosis, the attest of the density of the bone may be administered to detect or determine the risk of one's condition.
spine fracture may occur without the knowledge of the individual and remain unzipped. Those who develop signs of spine fractures may have different symptoms. Back pain induced by spine fracture may occur as gradual or chronic and manifested at different degrees, from mild discomfort to pain sting. Some individuals may lose their thumbs outside their height and acquire a tendency. Over time, the continuing accumulation of spine fractures can lead to the development of a condition known as kyphosis or backward overlap, which can cause tingling and numbness on the lower limbs, which eventually disrupts the ability to walk.
Most vertebral fractures occur in the presence of weakened bone because it is manifested by osteoporosis. Those with this potentially weakening condenses are more susceptible to injury and fracture due to insufficient calcium and nutrients in their bones. Compressed vertebrae may also occur due to back and spine trauma. The accumulation of more fracturesThe spine can eventually contribute to the collapse of the spine. In timely treatment, individuals who keep the spine fracture are generally recovered within a few months after the initial fracture.
In most cases, a compression fracture is treated by administration of an analgesic drug to alleviate any discomfort and physical therapy to restore function and strength. Depending on the severity of the fracture, additional measures may be used, including rest and reinforcement to prevent further injury. Severe compression fractures may require surgical correction, which includes the use of specialized cement to strengthen the affected vertebra and alleviate unforgettable pain.
