How to treat spinal fractures? The treatment effect is better according to the situation

Fracture is a disease that can occur in any bone joint in the body, and fracture in the spine is the most serious. So, how should spinal fractures be treated?

Treatment of simple wedge-shaped compression fractures

The patient can lie on his back on a hard bed with a pillow to support his waist. The pillow should be placed directly opposite the fracture site to keep the spine in a hyperextended position. After lying still for 2-3 days, when the bleeding at the fracture site stops, the pain is relieved, and the abdominal bloating subsides, the back extensor muscle exercise can be started. The patient needs to stay in bed for 3 months and exercise every day. Most patients can achieve good results.

Cervical fracture or dislocation

For patients with mild compression and displacement, use an occipital sling to traction and reduction in the supine position. For patients with severe cases, use continuous cranial traction and reduction, and fix with plaster or brace after reduction. After spinal injury reduction, physical therapy, Chinese and Western medicine, etc. can be combined if necessary to promote the healing of spinal fractures.
