Common questions

How soon does kyphoplasty relieve pain?

Many patients report meaningful relief within the first few days after the procedure, though results vary. Your physician will advise if your fracture is likely to respond.

Who is a candidate for kyphoplasty?

Candidates typically have a recent, painful vertebral compression fracture, often from osteoporosis, that has not improved with bracing, medication, and rest. Imaging helps confirm the fracture is appropriate to treat.

Do compression fractures always need a procedure?

No. Many heal over six to twelve weeks with pain management, activity modification, and sometimes a brace. Kyphoplasty is typically considered when pain remains severe despite that care.
