Relief Starts With Understanding the Spine
Osteoporosis-related pain can be easy to miss until a fracture occurs. Care starts with listening to your symptoms, reviewing your history, and helping identify whether a compression fracture or bone health issue may be contributing to your pain.

Common Issues We Evaluate
Osteoporosis and compression fractures can cause pain in different ways. These are some of the common issues we evaluate at Enid Pain & Spine.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis can weaken bones over time and increase the risk of fractures.
Vertebral Compression Fractures
Small fractures in the spine can cause sudden or ongoing back pain.
Sudden Back Pain
Sharp or sudden back pain may happen after bending, coughing, lifting, or a minor fall.
Mid-Back or Upper Back Pain
Compression fractures often cause pain in the middle or upper back.
Loss of Height
Losing height over time can sometimes be linked to spine changes or compression fractures.
Stooped Posture
A hunched or rounded posture may develop when spine fractures or bone loss are present.
Pain After a Minor Fall
A small fall or simple movement can sometimes trigger significant pain when bones are weak.
Ongoing Spine Pain
Back pain that does not improve may need a closer evaluation to understand the possible source.
Symptoms
Osteoporosis may not cause symptoms until a fracture occurs. When compression fractures happen, the pain can sometimes feel sudden, sharp, or difficult to ignore.
Our Approach to Osteoporosis & Compression Fractures
We begin with a careful evaluation to better understand your symptoms, history, and what may be causing your spine pain. Dr. Chad Owens and the Enid Pain & Spine care team can help determine whether osteoporosis-related changes or a compression fracture may be involved and discuss options based on your condition.
When to Schedule an Appointment
If you have sudden back pain, ongoing spine pain, or a history of osteoporosis, it may be time to get answers. You do not need to know the exact cause before scheduling.
