Osteoporosis

Treatment for vertebral compression fractures includes rest, pain management, bracing, and surgical procedures to stabilize the spine.

Vertebral compression fractures are diagnosed through imaging tests like x-rays, CT scans, and MRIs, helping assess their severity and guide treatment.

Osteoporosis is diagnosed through bone density tests, X-rays, and medical history evaluation.

Osteoporosis medications, like bisphosphonates and hormone therapy, help improve bone density and reduce fracture risk.

Osteoporosis treatment involves medications, lifestyle changes, and dietary adjustments to strengthen bones and reduce fracture risk.

Osteoporosis is the leading cause of collapsed vertebrae, leading to pain, height loss, and spinal deformity.

Osteoporosis signs include weakened bones, fractures, and height loss. Prevention and management are crucial.

Osteoporosis is categorized as primary (age-related) or secondary (resulting from other conditions or medications), both weakening bones.

Spinal compression fractures include wedge fractures, crush fractures, and burst fractures, affecting vertebral shape and stability.
