Osteoporosis causing lumbar spine fracture is lying flat effective

Lying on the floor can help with lumbar fractures caused by osteoporosis, but other treatments are needed. Osteoporosis-induced lumbar vertebral compression fractures often cause a decrease in the height of the vertebral body, and severe compression can also cause narrowing of the spinal canal, resulting in nerve compression symptoms. In mild compression fractures, there is no bone protruding from the spinal canal. Conservative treatment can be taken, with bed rest for 8 to 10 weeks and physical therapy to promote fracture healing. If the lumbar spine fracture caused by osteoporosis is more serious in compression, most of them will take surgical treatment to reset the height of the vertebral body, and minimally invasive bone cement filling can also be chosen. Osteoporosis patients with lumbar vertebral fracture, must go to the regular hospital consultation and treatment, do not do it on their own, so as not to delay the condition.
