Will vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty cure my spine problems?
Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty can reduce or eliminate pain and restore a capability for mobility and function, but they are not a cure for osteoporosis or any other disorder. For that, and to reduce the likelihood of additional compression fractures, you should discuss with your doctor medications and changes in lifestyle that can reduce your risk. While osteoporosis can’t be cured, there are now several medications available to deal with its bone-thinning effects.
