A spinal fracture is a break in one or more of the vertebrae, the small bones that make up the spine. This type of injury can occur due to trauma, such as a fall or car accident, or from conditions like osteoporosis, which weakens bones. Symptoms may include back pain, difficulty moving, or numbness in the limbs. Treatment for a spinal fracture often involves rest, pain management, and sometimes a brace to support the spine. In more severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to stabilize the spine and prevent further injury. Rehabilitation is important for recovery and regaining strength.
