Minimally Invasive Balloon Kyphoplasty
Spine fractures are often the result weakening of the bone (osteoporosis) and are known as vertebral body fractures. These fractures are a serious problem and have a highly negative impact on quality of life due to the pain and reduced mobility that they cause. More conservative methods of treatment aim simply at pain reduction and this often requires narcotic pain medication, bed rest and/or spinal orthotic support. Satisfactory pain control is often only achieved after several weeks of treatment.
