Hmmm...is compressed vertebrae anything like a vertebrae that is fusing? I have that...wondering if I should look into...currently seeing chiropracter monthly. ..hhmmm
I have osteoporosis and L1,L2 and L4 have collapsed; they are only about half the height of a normal vertebra. If one opts for surgery they can pump in some kind of cement to stabilize the vertebra, but there is always a danger of the ‘gunk’ getting on the spinal cord, so I just try to protect my back as much as possible.
The acupuncture therapist worked wonders when my husband developed sciatica, so I started going for my back pain, and it really helped me too. So, it couldn’t hurt, might help.
