FRACTURE OF SPINE

A spine fracture refers to a break or cracks in one or more vertebrae. These fractures can result from various causes, including trauma, falls, sports injuries, or underlying conditions like osteoporosis, which weakens the bones. The severity of a spine fracture can range from mild compression fractures to more severe fractures with potential damage to the spinal cord. Common symptoms include back pain, difficulty moving, numbness, or tingling.
