Kyphoplasty
Are you suffering from debilitating back pain caused by vertebral compression fractures? At SOLUTIONS Pain & Spine in Peachtree Corners, GA, we offer advanced Kyphoplasty procedures to restore spinal stability, relieve pain, and enhance your overall quality of life.
What is Kyphoplasty?
Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat vertebral compression fractures, which commonly occur due to osteoporosis, trauma, or spinal tumors. During the procedure, a specialized balloon-like device is inserted into the fractured vertebra and inflated to restore the vertebral height. Once the desired height is achieved, a bone cement is injected to stabilize the vertebra and relieve pain.
Conditions Treated by Kyphoplasty
Kyphoplasty is an effective treatment option for the following conditions:
Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures: These fractures occur due to the weakening of bones caused by osteoporosis, a condition characterized by decreased bone density and strength.
Traumatic vertebral compression fractures: Fractures resulting from traumatic injuries such as falls, accidents, or sports-related incidents.
Vertebral compression fractures due to spinal tumors: Tumors in the spine can weaken the vertebral bones, leading to compression fractures and severe pain.
The Kyphoplasty Process at SOLUTIONS Pain & Spine in Peachtree Corners, GA
At SOLUTIONS Pain & Spine, we prioritize your comfort and well-being throughout the entire Kyphoplasty procedure:
Initial evaluation: Our experienced medical team will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, including a review of your medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic imaging to determine if Kyphoplasty is the appropriate treatment option for your condition.
Pre-procedure consultation: We will explain the procedure in detail, answer any questions you may have, and provide you with instructions to prepare for the Kyphoplasty procedure.
Kyphoplasty procedure: You will be positioned comfortably on the procedure table, and the treatment area will be numbed using local anesthesia. Using specialized imaging guidance, our skilled specialists will insert the balloon-like device into the fractured vertebra and inflate it to restore height. Once the desired height is achieved, bone cement is injected to stabilize the vertebra.
Recovery and follow-up: After the procedure, you will be monitored for a short period before being discharged.
