Are you experiencing sharp, severe back pain that gets worse when you stand or walk, but feels much better when you lie down? You may be suffering from a Spinal Compression Fracture! Whether caused by a sudden fall or thin, weak bones (osteoporosis), these broken bones can lead to a stooped posture and a huge drop in your quality of life.
This happens when the block-like bone in your spine collapses. It is usually caused by osteoporosis, where brittle bones break under minor stress, or from trauma like heavy lifting.
A broken spine bone requires immediate, expert attention! Dr. Andrew M Clary, DO, offers a “fast-track” approach in North Branch, MN, to get you safely back on your feet. Your visit will include:
● A gentle discussion about your sudden pain or lost height.
● A careful physical examination.
● An urgent review of your X-rays or MRI to spot the collapse.
● A fast, minimally invasive plan to stop the pain.
We use modern “internal bracing” technologies so you can avoid major open surgery!
● Kyphoplasty: We use a tiny balloon to create space in the broken bone, then fill it with medical-grade cement to stabilize it.
● SpineJack®: An incredibly advanced tiny implant that actually lifts the collapsed bone back to its normal height!
● Bone Health Management: We provide DEXA scans and nutrition advice to keep your bones strong and prevent future breaks.
● TLSO Brace: A referral to obtain a brace to help stabilize and alleviate pain from the fracture.
