Trusted Kyphoplasty Vertebroplasty Experts Serving Ahwatukee
At Red Butte Pain Solutions, we specialize in advanced treatments like kyphoplasty vertebroplasty to repair painful vertebral compression fractures, also known as “broken back bones.” These conditions can cause severe back pain, loss of mobility, and a decline in quality of life.

What Are Vertebral Compression Fractures?
A vertebral compression fracture occurs when a bone in your spine breaks or collapses. These injuries often result from osteoporosis, trauma, or cancer. Many patients describe the pain as sudden, sharp, and worse with movement or standing.
- Sudden onset of back pain
- Loss of height
- Rounded back or stooped posture
- Difficulty walking or standing for long periods
If you’ve been diagnosed with a compression fracture, or suspect a broken back bone, don’t wait. Prompt treatment improves outcomes and reduces risk of further fractures.
Kyphoplasty Vertebroplasty: Fast Relief for Spine Fractures
Both kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are minimally invasive treatments for compression fractures in the spine. In kyphoplasty, a balloon is used to restore bone height before injecting bone cement. In vertebroplasty, cement is injected directly into the fracture.
These procedures stabilize the spine, reduce pain, and restore mobility—often with immediate results and minimal downtime.
- Outpatient treatments with local or light sedation
- Effective for osteoporosis and cancer-related spine fractures
- Often reduces or eliminates the need for opioids
