This depends on the type of fracture, whether there was any impingement on the spinal canal or neural formina, and any resultant neurologic deficits.
For compression fractures without any impingement or neurologic deficits, frequently the treatment is pain medication. If there is possible impingement on the spinal canal, surgery may be necessary, and if there is neurologic deficit or abnormalities, surgery is necessary, as well as steroids. A brace may also be used to help stabilize the spine while healing takes place.
You should consult your orthopedic or spinal surgeon about the recommended treatment for your fracture.
