Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do immediately after a spinal injury?
Do NOT move the injured person. Keep them still and call emergency services immediately. Moving someone with a spinal fracture can cause permanent nerve damage. Get them to a hospital with a spine surgeon as quickly as possible.
Can spinal fractures heal without surgery?
Some stable fractures can heal with bracing and rest. However, unstable fractures, fractures with nerve compression, or those causing deformity typically require surgical stabilization. Dr. Malik will determine the best approach for your specific injury.
