Restore Strength and Stability at NYSI Wayne

Sudden back pain, loss of height, or a stooped posture may be signs of a vertebral compression fracture—a condition that affects many adults due to osteoporosis, trauma, or spinal degeneration. At New York Spine Institute’s Wayne, NJ office, our experienced spine specialists offer kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty—two highly effective procedures that relieve pain and stabilize fractured vertebrae with minimal downtime.

Conveniently located on Hamburg Turnpike, our Wayne office serves patients throughout Passaic and Bergen Counties, including Clifton, Paterson, Totowa, and the surrounding areas. We provide expert care in a comfortable, patient-focused setting.

What Are Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty?

Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are image-guided, outpatient procedures used to treat spinal compression fractures—small cracks or collapses in the bones of the spine.

These procedures are often recommended for fractures caused by:

  • Osteoporosis
  • Minor falls or lifting injuries
  • Spinal tumors or bone metastases

Key Differences:

  • Kyphoplasty: A balloon is inserted to restore height before stabilizing the bone with medical-grade cement.
  • Vertebroplasty: Cement is injected directly into the fractured vertebra for immediate structural support.

Both techniques can relieve pain and prevent further spinal collapse—often with same-day discharge.

Signs You May Be a Candidate

If you’ve experienced any of the following, kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty may be a safe and effective treatment:

  • Persistent back pain following a minor fall or lifting incident
  • Noticeable loss of height or a rounded, hunched posture
  • Difficulty walking, standing, or bending without pain
  • Imaging that confirms a spinal compression fracture
  • No relief from rest, bracing, or over-the-counter pain medication

Our Wayne-based spine team will perform a comprehensive evaluation and imaging review to determine the best course of care.

What to Expect from the Procedure

How It Works:

  • A small incision is made in the back.
  • Using fluoroscopic (real-time X-ray) guidance, a needle is inserted into the collapsed vertebra.
  • In kyphoplasty, a balloon is first inflated to create space; in vertebroplasty, this step is skipped.
  • Bone cement is carefully injected to stabilize the fracture.

Recovery Timeline:

  • Most patients report pain relief within 24–48 hours
  • Light activity typically resumes in 2–3 days
  • Post-procedure care may include physical therapy to improve strength and balance

Our Wayne team will provide clear, personalized instructions to support a smooth recovery.
