How to regain strength in back after compression fracture?
Patient: I had a compression fracture ( D12) 4 weeks ago. No nurological problems  like paralysis.  what should I do for rehabilitation  to regain the strength of my bac k ?  I am 60 years old hypertensive and have post parandial sugar level in blood above 200 Doctor: 4weeks is not enough for vertebral fracture to unite completely. It is risky to start with exercises. U can start with execise for back strengthning once ur fracture unites as seen radiologically. U may  need to wait further for at least 2-4 weeks And i recommend u to start exercise under guidance only.
