How do you sleep with a fractured vertebrae?

If you or a loved one has fractured your vertebrae from an accident, contact 844 See Mike for a free consultation so we can help you recover from this experience and get fairly compensated.

A fractured vertebra is when one of the bones in the vertebrae breaks due to some strong force, such as a car crash, a sports injury, or a harsh fall. There are 33 individual bones in the spinal column which allow us to keep an upright position, act as support for our head and neck, and they are also an essential component to the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS sends messages through the spinal cord to and away from the brain in order to carry out a countless amount of everyday functions from sensory processing to motor skills, so an injury to the surrounding area can cause extensive damage.

It can be uncomfortable to sleep while you have a fractured vertebra. However, if you find that you cannot sleep or lay down at all due to the pain, you should contact your doctor to see if anything else may be wrong since this is not normal for the average fracture.

For those that feel normal discomfort when sleeping on this injury, there are a few ways to ease or manage the pain. You should sleep on a firm mattress so that your back is not bending in odd ways into a soft mattress. Your goal is to stabilize and immobilize the bones, so a mattress that you sink into would not be ideal. Also, you should sleep in ways to minimize the pressure on your back. This may include sleeping with a pillow under your knees while on your back. This way, your knees are easing some of the weight and pressure off of your back which may be strained otherwise. Any position that may strain or stretch out your back should be avoided, essentially.

If another person caused your injuries, you can file a claim against them for monetary damages. Medical care for a fractured vertebra is not cheap, and it certainly is not cheap when it involves potential complications that you may have had to deal with. With our help, we can help you recover the costs of your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages that resulted from another person’s actions.
