Spine Fractures & Compression Fractures
Spine fractures, particularly compression fractures, occur when one or more vertebrae break or collapse due to trauma, osteoporosis, cancer, or other spinal conditions. These fractures most commonly affect the thoracic (mid-back) or lumbar (lower back) spine. They can cause sudden back pain, limited mobility, height loss, or spinal deformity such as a hunched posture. Dr. Sarkiss specializes in diagnosing and treating spinal fractures with precision and care.
Treatment Options
After a thorough evaluation using imaging such as X-rays or MRI, Dr. Sarkiss develops a customized treatment plan based on the severity of the fracture and your overall health. Options may include bracing, pain management, physical therapy, and minimally invasive procedures like vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty to stabilize the spine and relieve pain. Our goal is to restore spinal stability, reduce discomfort, and help you return to your normal activities safely and confidently.
