We can treat back pain and fractures in a number of ways, including stabilizing the bone through techniques like kyphoplasty, vertebroplasty and sacroplasty and through pain-relieving epidural steroid injections.

They physician inserts a needle about the size of a cocktail straw through the skin and into the fractured vertebra, using X-ray imaging to guide it to the correct spot.
