Best Answer

A fractured back calls for a medical team to set things right. There's no way to safely treat this at home, so don't even think about it.

Once the injury has been treated, most spinal fractures impair mobility, at least temporarily, so physical therapy is usually prescribed. The PT will explain an at-home adjunct to the overall training regimen -- exercises one does at home.

Because spines are so tricky, and you haven't explained in detail the nature of the injury, I can't tell you what to do without risking making it worse. See if you can get a prescription to visit a licensed Physical Therapy practice -- it can do wonderful things with spinal fracture recovery, and many are at home.
