You may need: X-rays to confirm whether you have sustained a compression fracture or herniated disc to your thoracic spine. These compression fractures may be small but significant in the long run, as undetected it will cause an imbalance in your spine even if healed over time. You may continue to have chronic pain in the spine as well as loss of height and loss of bone mass.
