How much time does it take to cure a lumbar compression fracture?

3 months: If it is from osteoporosis, most people heal within 3 months. However, if there continues to be severe pain, there are now options to treat the fracture, such as kyphoplasty.

Time: Most spine fractures will heal within 3 months with bracing, limiting strenuous activity and close follow-up with a spine specialist. Some fractures require surgical stabilization and kyphoplasty is an option for elderly patients with compression fractures. Check out spine-health.Com.
