Spinal fractures are common spinal injuries that can happen to anyone, and they can occur anywhere along the spine. While most injuries involve the lower half of your back, vertebra fractures can also occur near the base, middle, or top of your spine. The severity of the injury depends on how much force was put on the vertebrae, and whether your spine is stable or unstable.

 

When a person experiences a spinal fracture, the physical and psychological consequences can be devastating. Gentle, physical therapy treatment can help treat and prevent debilitating, long-term consequences.
