Back Fractures


 

Back fractures are a huge source of low back pain, neck and upper back pain, side back pain, and more. They occur when one or more of the vertebrae in the back are injured. One of the most common types of fractures is a compression fracture that occurs during a fall or other trauma. A burst fracture happens occurs when there is a sudden compression of the spine, reducing vertebral height and causing extreme pain. Other kinds of fractures include flexion fractures, distraction fractures, and torsion/translational fractures. The best methods for middle back pain relief, lower back pain relief, and upper back pain relief caused by fractures are chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, and bed rest. These pain management techniques help to stabilize the back and promote healing.
