Debilitating back pain due to vertebral fractures can significantly impact your quality of life. At CPSS, we specialize in advanced spinal health treatments designed to help you regain your comfort and well-being.

What is Vertebral Augmentation/Kyphoplasty?

Vertebral Augmentation/Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to address vertebral fractures and instability. It involves the injection of bone cement into the fractured vertebrae, restoring spinal health and providing lasting pain relief.

Why Consider this Treatment?

If you’ve been dealing with vertebral fractures, pain, and a reduced quality of life, Vertebral Augmentation / Kyphoplasty is an excellent consideration.

 

This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients experiencing:

  • Vertebral fractures due to osteoporosis, injury, or other conditions.
  • Chronic back pain and limited mobility.
  • A desire for a minimally invasive approach to spinal health and pain relief.

What to expect during the Procedure?

At CPSS, your comfort and care are our top priorities.

 

Here’s what you can expect during the Vertebral Augmentation/Kyphoplasty procedure:

  1. Consultation: A comprehensive assessment to understand your specific condition and medical history.
  2. Preparation: You’ll be positioned comfortably, and the area around your spine will be sterilized.
  3. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia minimizes discomfort at the treatment site.
  4. Procedure: A specialized needle is used to inject bone cement into the fractured vertebrae, restoring spinal health.
  5. Completion: The entire process is swift, often taking less than an hour.

Recovery times may vary, but many patients experience lasting pain relief and improved spinal health.
