Fractures
Over time, bones may weaken so much that that when the spine is strained it can fracture.
This can happen by lifting a heavy object, tripping, or falling off of a chair.
Fractures can also happen from trauma due to motor vehicle accidents or falls.
Vertebral Augmentation
By treating compression fractures with bone cement, pain is relieved in approximately 85-90% of patients*
Spine Jack kyphoplasty is an outpatient procedure using sedation. Dr. Burke will do a comprehensive exam and review of x-ray and MRI images to determine if you are a candidate for this procedure.
Patients report significant pain relief following kyphoplasty.
