A mild compression fracture of the lumbar 1 vertebrae requires 6 to 8 weeks of bed rest before being able to wear a brace and move out of bed.
Compression fractures of the lumbar spine are often caused by a fall or slip and fall. Many older adults also have osteoporosis. If the pain is severe or the fracture is severely compressed, minimally invasive surgical procedures such as PKP and PVP can be used to relieve the symptoms and allow the patient to get out of bed sooner.
If the compression fracture is mild and there is no displacement in the vertebral canal, conservative treatment can be adopted with bed rest for 6-8 weeks, and after 6-8 weeks, the patient can leave the bed with protective gear to do activities, and the early activities should not be too much, but should be gradual and orderly. At the same time, you can do some lumbar back muscle strength exercises to enhance the stability of the lumbar spine. For example, small swallow fly 5-point support and so on.
Lumbar spine compression fracture must go to the regular hospital and treatment, do not do it by yourself, so as not to delay the condition.
