Non-Surgical Treatments

Start With the Least-Invasive Options

Most patients improve without surgery. Our team takes a conservative-first approach with treatments designed to reduce pain, improve strength, and prevent future flare-ups.

Non-Surgical Spine, Neck & Back Treatments

  • Pain Management Our pain management specialists provide targeted treatments to reduce discomfort and improve function while fractures heal naturally. This approach is often effective for stable fractures without severe deformity.
    • Epidural steroid injections
    • Nerve blocks and trigger point injections
    • Oral medications and topical treatments
  • Physical Therapy Specialized spine physical therapy helps strengthen supporting muscles and improve posture while protecting healing vertebrae. Our therapists design safe exercise programs that promote bone health and prevent future fractures.
    • Posture training and body mechanics education
    • Gentle strengthening exercises for core stability
    • Balance training to prevent falls
  • Bracing and Support Custom-fitted spinal braces can provide external support during the healing process, reducing pain and preventing further collapse of fractured vertebrae. Our orthotists ensure proper fit and comfort.
    • Thoracolumbosacral orthosis (TLSO) bracing
    • Hyperextension braces for thoracic fractures
  • Bone Health Management Addressing underlying osteoporosis and bone health is crucial for preventing future fractures. Our team provides comprehensive bone density evaluation and treatment recommendations.
    • Bone density testing and monitoring
    • Calcium and vitamin D supplementation
    • Osteoporosis medications when appropriate

Many patients with stable vertebral fractures experience significant pain relief within 6-12 weeks using conservative treatment approaches.

Learn how our minimally invasive vertebral augmentation procedures can provide rapid relief from compression fracture pain.

Surgical Spine, Neck & Back Procedures

  • Vertebroplasty This minimally invasive procedure involves injecting bone cement directly into the fractured vertebra to stabilize it and provide immediate pain relief. Vertebroplasty is performed through a small incision using image guidance for precise placement.
  • Kyphoplasty Kyphoplasty involves creating space within the collapsed vertebra using a balloon-like device before injecting bone cement. This technique can help restore some vertebral height and reduce spinal deformity while providing excellent pain relief.
  • SpineJack Procedure An advanced vertebral augmentation technique using expandable implants to restore vertebral height before cement injection. This newer approach offers improved height restoration and reduced cement leakage compared to traditional methods.
  • Vertebral Body Stenting For complex fractures, vertebral body stenting combines internal support structures with cement augmentation. This technique provides enhanced stability and can address fractures that may not respond well to standard vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty.
Star
Over 85% of patients experience significant pain relief within 24-48 hours following vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty procedures.

What to Expect During Your Vertebral Fracture Treatment

1

Comprehensive Evaluation

Your spine specialist will review your medical history, perform a physical examination, and order imaging studies including X-rays, MRI, or bone scan to assess fracture severity and determine the best treatment approach.

2

Treatment Planning

Based on your evaluation, we'll discuss all treatment options with you, from conservative care to minimally invasive procedures. We'll consider factors like fracture age, pain level, and your overall health status.

3

Procedure Day

If you choose vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty, the outpatient procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes under local anesthesia with sedation. You'll be able to walk within a few hours and return home the same day.

4

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Most patients experience immediate pain improvement after vertebral augmentation. Our physical therapists will guide you through a gradual return to activities, focusing on spine-safe movements and bone health.

5

Long-term Care

We'll monitor your recovery with follow-up visits and imaging. Our team will also work with you on bone health strategies to prevent future fractures and maintain your improved quality of life.

What Patients Say

SP
My father had spine surgery with Dr. Munk and was happy with the results. Dr Munk has always been very helpful, courteous and compassionate towards both my father and myself. These reviews must be a small handful out of 1000's. I'm in need of shoulder surgery myself now and if Dr. Munk could do, I wouldn't hesitate for a moment. He's a wonderful doctor. My father thinks he's a rock star!

Mendelson Kornblum has the best doctors and staff. They have same day appointments for serious injuries. I definitely recommend them to friends and family. Dr. Mulawa is the best! Spends quality time with me reviewing different treatments. Never long wait times and super friendly staff. Dr. Munk is the best orthopedic surgeon around. He makes you feel comfortable and spends time answering questions regarding any surgical procedures.

I've been to Dr. Kornblum for lower back surgery and Dr. Munk for SI Joint surgeries and I've always been treated very well. Both were very professional and up front about everything that I was dealing with, and what to expect. No false hope. But most of all, they were both very easy to talk to about any concerns that I had. I'm very grateful that they were able to help me the way they did. I've never had any issues with Mendelson/Kornblum in Livonia. Whether it's billing, appointments or checking in, or anything else, everyone's been friendly and helpful.
