Compression fractures occur when the vertebrae in the spine collapse or are compressed, often leading to pain and reduced mobility. They are commonly caused by osteoporosis, trauma from accidents or falls, or cancer that weakens the vertebral bones.

Comprehensive spinal treatment is available at Shakthi Health and Wellness for people who are ready to embrace a holistic approach to healing by our team, led by Dr. Jyothi Rao. One of the most used treatment options for compression fractures at Shatkhi Health and Wellness is photobiomodulation.

Photobiomodulation, offered as part of our comprehensive care approach, is an innovative and non-invasive therapy used to ease compression fracture pain. This treatment uses specific wavelengths of low-level light to penetrate deep into tissues, stimulating healing and reducing discomfort.

A photobiomodulation session involves relaxing in a comfortable position while a device emitting red or near-infrared light is applied to the affected area of your back. The therapy is gentle, painless, and typically lasts around 20 to 30 minutes. You may feel a subtle warmth from the light, but there is no discomfort, allowing you to unwind during the process.

Photobiomodulation works for compression fractures by accelerating cellular repair and regeneration. The light energy helps to boost circulation in the area, delivering a steady supply of oxygen and nutrients while removing toxins. This improves tissue health and encourages bone healing.

Additionally, photobiomodulation reduces inflammation around the fractured vertebrae, which significantly alleviates pain and improves mobility.

This non-invasive treatment complements other therapies at Shakthi Health and Wellness beautifully, contributing to better spinal health and providing relief from compression fracture pain with no downtime. It’s a gentle, effective option to support your recovery.
