Compression fractures in spine, what to do?

Many options: From bracing to medication management to vertebroplasty. Interventional pain techniques can help with pain. Bracing can help with pain as well as prevention. Work on correcting osteoporosis as much as possible. Consider physical therapy as well. I hope that helps!
