Relieve Pain and Restore Spinal Health with Vertebroplasty & Kyphoplasty

Pharmhouse Wellness offers comprehensive alternative and natural medicine solutions to help individuals suffering from spinal conditions. Among the innovative treatments available are vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, minimally invasive procedures that can effectively relieve pain and restore spinal health.

Understanding Vertebroplasty

Vertebroplasty is a procedure designed to treat vertebral compression fractures (VCFs), which commonly occur in individuals with osteoporosis or other conditions that weaken the bones. This non-surgical technique involves the injection of medical-grade bone cement into the collapsed or fractured vertebra, stabilizing it and reducing pain.

The procedure begins with local anesthesia to ensure your comfort, followed by the insertion of a needle into the affected vertebra guided by advanced imaging technology. Once the needle is properly positioned, the bone cement is injected. The cement hardens quickly, reinforcing the weakened vertebra and providing immediate pain relief and increased stability.

Benefits of Vertebroplasty

Vertebroplasty offers numerous benefits for individuals suffering from VCFs:

  • Effective pain relief: The injection of bone cement stabilizes the fractured vertebra, reducing pain and discomfort.
  • Improved mobility: By restoring spinal stability, vertebroplasty can help regain mobility and functionality.
  • Reduced risk of further fractures: Reinforcing the vertebra helps prevent future fractures and complications.
  • Minimally invasive: Vertebroplasty is performed using a small needle, minimizing the risk of complications and enabling a quicker recovery.
  • Outpatient procedure: Most vertebroplasty procedures can be done on an outpatient basis, allowing you to return home the same day.

Understanding Kyphoplasty

Kyphoplasty is a similar procedure to vertebroplasty, aimed at treating VCFs. The primary difference lies in the use of an inflatable balloon to create space within the collapsed vertebra before injecting the bone cement.

During kyphoplasty, a small balloon catheter is inserted into the fractured vertebra and carefully inflated, gently raising the collapsed area. This process helps restore the vertebra to a more normal height and shape. The balloon is then deflated and removed, and the created space is filled with bone cement.

Benefits of Kyphoplasty

Kyphoplasty offers several advantages when compared to traditional vertebroplasty:

  • Greater height restoration: The use of an inflatable balloon allows for precise restoration of vertebral height, helping to correct spinal deformities associated with fractures.
  • Enhanced pain relief: The creation of space and restoration of vertebral height can lead to immediate and long-lasting pain relief.
  • Improved vertebral alignment: Kyphoplasty helps restore more natural vertebral alignment, promoting better overall spinal health.
