Restore spinal stability and get lasting relief from back pain with expert, minimally invasive care for compression fractures.
A compression fracture occurs when a vertebra in the spine collapses or cracks, most often due to osteoporosis, trauma, or metastatic cancer. These fractures can cause sudden, sharp back pain, limited mobility, and even changes in posture. Without treatment, a compression fracture can lead to long-term spinal deformity and chronic pain.
Dr. Parham Yashar, one of the most trusted neurosurgeons in Los Angeles, offers precise, minimally invasive solutions for compression fractures to improve stability, posture, and provide pain relief. Whether you're local or traveling from out of state, our advanced Los Angeles spine center provides the care you need to recover safely and regain confidence in your movement.
Compression fractures may come on suddenly or progress over time. Common symptoms include:
If bracing or pain management fails to provide relief, surgery may be recommended to restore stability and prevent further collapse. Dr. Yashar specializes in minimally invasive vertebral augmentation procedures, such as kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty, which use bone cement to reinforce the damaged vertebra.
As the best minimally invasive spine surgeon in Los Angeles, Dr. Yashar may also recommend spinal fusion or stabilization if multiple fractures are present or if there’s underlying spinal instability. Every treatment is personalized to minimize recovery time and maximize long-term results.
Some compression fractures can heal with rest, bracing, and pain medication. However, if the fracture causes significant pain or deformity, minimally invasive surgery may be the most effective option.
Kyphoplasty is generally well tolerated and performed under sedation or general anesthesia. Most patients experience immediate pain relief and go home the same day.
Recovery is typically quick. Most patients resume light activity within a few days, with full return to normal function in a few weeks, depending on the procedure and overall health.
