Compression fracture of 1 to 2 lumbar vertebrae usually takes about 3 months to recover, which cannot be generalized and the recovery time varies according to the severity of the condition and treatment. A lumbar compression fracture is a spinal fracture that occurs when the lumbar spine is stimulated by an external force or other stimulus, and is characterized by the compression of the vertebral body at a longitudinal height. Lumbar compression fracture can be followed by symptoms such as pain, limited mobility, and nerve damage. Mild compression fracture can be treated conservatively with bed rest and can be recovered in about 3 months. For more severe compression fractures, surgery is required and recovery time can be more than 3 months and usually takes about 6 months. If a compression fracture of 1 or 2 lumbar vertebrae has been diagnosed, early and standardized treatment is recommended to minimize the adverse effects of the disease.
