Kyphoplasty Q & A

Restore Your Spine and Relieve Pain with Kyphoplasty

At Apex Pain Specialists, we offer Kyphoplasty, a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat vertebral compression fractures. This advanced treatment provides significant pain relief and helps restore the spine’s natural shape, improving overall function and quality of life.

What is Kyphoplasty?

Kyphoplasty is a surgical procedure that repairs spinal fractures caused by osteoporosis, cancer, or trauma. By using a balloon to create space within the fractured vertebra and filling it with bone cement, Kyphoplasty stabilizes the fracture and reduces pain.

Benefits of Kyphoplasty

  • Immediate Pain Relief: Many patients experience significant pain reduction shortly after the procedure.
  • Minimally Invasive: Kyphoplasty is performed through small incisions, reducing recovery time and minimizing scarring.
  • Quick Recovery: Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days.
  • Improved Mobility: By stabilizing the spine, Kyphoplasty helps improve movement and flexibility.

Is Kyphoplasty Right for You?

Kyphoplasty is ideal for patients suffering from painful vertebral compression fractures due to osteoporosis, spinal tumors, or injuries. Our expert team at Apex Pain Specialists will evaluate your condition and medical history to determine if Kyphoplasty is the best treatment option for you.

The Kyphoplasty Procedure

  1. Evaluation: A thorough medical evaluation, including imaging tests such as X-rays or MRI, is conducted to assess the fracture.
  2. Preparation: The procedure is typically performed under local or general anesthesia.
  3. Balloon Insertion: A small incision is made, and a balloon is inserted into the fractured vertebra.
  4. Bone Cement Injection: The balloon is inflated to create space, then removed. Bone cement is injected to stabilize the fracture.
  5. Recovery: Patients are monitored for a short period and can usually go home the same day.
