Spinal fractures, often compression fractures, are breaks in the bones of your spine, frequently caused by weakened bones from osteoporosis or injury. They can lead to sudden back pain, loss of height, and a stooped posture. Management typically involves pain relief and supporting the spine, with lifestyle adjustments like exercise and nutrition being vital for bone strength.
