Restoring Spine Stability at NYSI Westbury

If you’ve suffered a spinal compression fracture, you may be experiencing intense back pain, limited mobility, or even a noticeable loss of height. At New York Spine Institute in Westbury, our board-certified spine specialists offer two advanced, minimally invasive procedures—kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty—to stabilize damaged vertebrae, relieve pain, and help you return to normal activity.

Located at 761 Merrick Avenue in Westbury, NY, our main office provides full-spectrum spine care under one roof, from diagnostics to surgical recovery. Our goal is to restore your comfort and protect your long-term spinal health with treatment plans designed around you.

What Are Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty?

Both kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are outpatient procedures designed to reinforce fractured vertebrae. These fractures, often caused by osteoporosis, low-impact trauma, or degenerative spinal conditions, can lead to severe discomfort and changes in posture or height.

In a kyphoplasty, a balloon is inserted into the collapsed vertebra and gently inflated to restore its height. Medical-grade cement is then used to stabilize the structure.

A vertebroplasty, by contrast, skips the balloon step and focuses purely on injecting cement to support the damaged bone.

While both procedures aim to relieve pain and restore function, your surgeon will recommend the most appropriate option based on imaging results and your specific anatomy.

When Is This Procedure Needed?

Not all spinal compression fractures require surgery, but when symptoms persist despite conservative care, kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty in Westbury, NY, may offer significant improvement. You may be a candidate if you’ve experienced:

  • Ongoing or worsening back pain after a minor fall or movement
  • Noticeable loss of height or curvature of the spine
  • Numbness, tingling, or leg weakness caused by spinal instability
  • Fractures confirmed by MRI, X-ray, or CT scan
  • Limited mobility that disrupts daily life
  • No improvement after rest, bracing, or pain medication

Many of our patients in Westbury come to us after weeks or months of unsuccessful non-surgical treatment. These procedures offer a second chance at relief.

What to Expect During and After Surgery

These minimally invasive procedures are typically performed under local anesthesia and often take less than an hour per vertebra treated. Patients are closely monitored afterward and, in most cases, discharged the same day.

Recovery Highlights

After the procedure, most patients report a significant reduction in pain—often within hours. Your care team will provide:

  • Short-term pain management (if needed)
  • Guidance on safe movements and rest for the first 24–48 hours
  • Instructions on when to resume light activity (often within a few days)
  • Long-term follow-up to assess healing and prevent future fractures

Because we treat the full spectrum of spine care at NYSI, your recovery may also include physical therapy, bone density monitoring, and nutritional support, all available at our Westbury location.
