Hello Dear,
A fractured vertebra can take anywhere from six to eight weeks for the bone to set and up to 12 weeks to heal completely. But recovery from a vertebral fracture goes beyond healing the bone. Recovery becomes an ongoing process to enable you to regain strength and mobility and to resume your daily activities
For patients whose fracture does not heal or who have progressive deformity or multiple fractures, minimally invasive treatments such as vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty can relieve the pain and prevent progression. Percutaneous vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive method that involves the injection of bone cement into the collapsed vertebral body to stabilize the vertebra.
You can consult your orthopedic physician regarding these options.
