What Is a Spinal Compression Fracture?

A spinal compression fracture occurs when one of the vertebral bones in the spine collapses, often due to osteoporosis, trauma, or cancer-related bone weakening. These fractures can cause significant pain, loss of height, and spinal deformity, severely affecting mobility and quality of life. At the Vascular and Neuroscience Institute of Southern California, our specialists provide advanced, minimally invasive care led by experienced neurovascular and spine experts, offering some of the best spinal compression fracture treatment in Southern California and Nevada.

Signs and Symptoms of a Spinal Compression Fracture

Symptoms may develop suddenly or worsen over time, depending on the severity of the fracture. Common signs include:

  • Sudden onset of back pain, often after a minor fall or movement
  • Pain that worsens with standing or walking
  • Reduced mobility or difficulty performing daily activities
  • Loss of height over time
  • Spinal deformity or stooped posture (kyphosis)
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness if nerves are affected
Prompt diagnosis is essential to prevent long-term complications and chronic pain.

Treatment Options for Spinal Compression Fractures

With state-of-the-art locations in West Hills, Thousand Oaks, Lancaster, Santa Barbara, and Las Vegas, we care for patients throughout Southern California and Nevada. As one of the best neurology centers in Southern California and Nevada for minimally invasive spine-related procedures, our institute offers effective treatments designed to stabilize the spine and relieve pain quickly.

Spinal compression fracture treatment options may include:
Kyphoplasty, a minimally invasive procedure that stabilizes the fractured vertebra and restores height while relieving pain
Image-guided evaluation to precisely assess fracture severity
Non-surgical management coordination, when appropriate, in collaboration with referring providers
Post-procedure monitoring and follow-up care to support long-term spinal health
With the best kyphoplasty surgeon in Southern California, many patients return to normal activities faster than traditional conservative treatment alone, and it is a cornerstone of advanced spinal compression fracture care.
