Solution for Neck/Vertebrae Compression Fracture

In a compression fracture of the vertebrae, the bone tissue of the vertebral body collapses. More than one vertebra in the back or neck may be affected. One of the most common causes of this condition is osteoporosis, but it can also be caused by a tumor or trauma to the back. When the fracture is caused by osteoporosis, it usually affects the vertebrae in the thoracic region (chest) and lower spine, and symptoms may get worse with walking.

Treatment
If the fracture is treated within 24 hours of injury, apply the Infratonic 8000 transducer gently to the affected area several times a day for a minimum of 20 minutes each. Therapy can also be applied through clothing or a plaster cast—even several inches away. Sometimes, it's most comfortable to start with the transducer 12 or more inches away, than gradually move it closer as the trauma is reduced. This helps keep the swelling down, so the body can produce and retain Hyaluronic acid in the traumatized area.
