1. What can happen if you dont get a spine fracture treated?
Spinal fractures are usually the result of a slip, fall, assault or road traffic accident. Major fractures
can cause very detrimental long-term problems if left undiagnosed and untreated.
Spinal fractures cause spinal instability, high levels of pain, an increased risk of spinal cord injury,
which may cause paralysis, and a lack of mobility.
People who suffer with osteoporosis or play high impact sports carry an increased risk of suffering
with a spinal fracture.Many 'stable' fractures are treated without surgery as the risks of surgery are
sometimes greater than by not having it.There are three main types of spinal fractures; these are
compression fractures, burst fractures and fracture dislocation.
