Hattiesburg Clinic’s trained PM&R physicians provide the latest treatment options for back pain and conditions affecting the spine.

Compression Fractures of the Spine / Kyphoplasty Overview

Vertebral compression fractures, often called spinal compression fractures, are fractures in the spine that lead to back pain and other complications. While a compression fracture can occur in patients of any age, it most commonly occurs in patients over the age of 50, especially patients suffering from osteoporosis or other conditions that cause bone weakening or patients who have sustained an injury.

The physiatrists at Hattiesburg Clinic specialize in relieving back pain through non-surgical intervention techniques. We provide effective, non-invasive treatment options focused on restoring normal function and making our patients more comfortable.
