Broken spinal bones, or spinal fractures, involve a break or crack in one or more of the vertebrae that make up the spine. These fractures can occur in any part of the spine, including the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), or lumbar (lower back) regions. Spinal fractures can result from traumatic events such as falls, car accidents, or sports injuries. They can also occur due to conditions that weaken the bones, such as osteoporosis, where the vertebrae become brittle and susceptible to breaking even with minimal trauma. Symptoms of a spinal fracture may include severe back pain, restricted movement, bruising, or swelling in the affected area. In some cases, there may be neurological symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or weakness in the limbs if the fracture compresses or damages the spinal cord or nerves.
Treatment for spinal fractures depends on the type and severity of the fracture, as well as any associated neurological damage. For stable fractures that do not involve spinal cord injury, treatment typically involves rest, pain management with medications, and the use of a back brace to support and immobilize the spine while it heals. Physical therapy may be recommended to strengthen the back muscles and improve mobility. For more severe fractures, particularly those that are unstable or involve spinal cord injury, surgical intervention may be necessary. Surgery may involve stabilizing the spine with screws, plates, or rods, and addressing any damage to the spinal cord or nerves. Comprehensive follow-up care with a healthcare provider is essential for monitoring recovery, managing pain, and preventing complications.
