Osteoporotic Spine Fractures

Osteoporotic spine fractures are common in elderly patients with weakened bones due to osteoporosis. These fractures, also known as vertebral compression fractures, can cause significant pain and height loss, and may lead to further spinal deformities if left untreated. Dr. Naik offers minimally invasive treatments such as vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, which involve injecting bone cement into the fractured vertebra to stabilize the spine and relieve pain. These techniques provide immediate pain relief and help prevent future fractures, ensuring that patients maintain their mobility and independence.
