Recovering from a Spinal Fracture: Gentle, Expert Chiropractic Care for Complex Cases in Prior Lake, MN

When your spine has been through a serious injury, healing takes time — and the right kind of care. Whether your fracture came from a car accident, a fall, or long-term stress on your spine, recovery doesn’t have to mean endless pain or loss of mobility. At Chirohouse Clinic, we specialize in helping patients rebuild strength, stability, and confidence after complex spinal injuries through gentle, neurologically-focused chiropractic care.

Understanding Spinal Fractures — and Why They Can Be So Complicated

A spinal fracture means one or more of the vertebrae — the bones that protect your spinal cord — have cracked or compressed under stress. These injuries vary in severity, but they all affect how your spine moves and how your nerves communicate with the rest of your body.

The three most common types we see are:

  • Compression fractures: Often caused by trauma, osteoporosis, or sudden force. The vertebra collapses slightly, leading to sharp or deep aching pain.

  • Stress-related fractures: Micro-fractures that develop over time from repetitive strain, poor posture, or chronic lifting.

  • Post-traumatic fractures: Usually from car accidents, slips, or sports injuries. They can affect both bone and soft tissue, requiring careful evaluation.

Even after the bone heals, lingering stiffness, nerve pain, or muscle guarding can remain — and that’s where specialized chiropractic care can make a lasting difference.

A Gentle, Neurologically-Focused Approach to Recovery

Unlike traditional “twisting or cracking” methods, our care is precise, instrument-based, and guided by your body’s neurological responses. We focus on restoring healthy motion and communication between your brain, spine, and muscles.

Your recovery plan may include:

  • Digital Motion X-Rays to study how your spine moves and pinpoint hidden restrictions.

  • Gentle Instrument-Based Adjustments to realign vertebrae safely without force.

  • Soft-Tissue Therapy & Rehabilitative Exercises to reduce tension, improve stability, and restore balance.

  • Personalized Care Plans designed around your specific injury, comfort level, and recovery goals.

Our goal is not just to reduce pain — but to help you regain normal movement, posture, and confidence in your daily activities.

Healing Beyond the Fracture

Many patients come to us months after their initial injury, still dealing with discomfort that other treatments couldn’t resolve. We often find that once spinal motion and nerve communication are restored, the body can finally start healing the way it was meant to.

We also work collaboratively with other healthcare providers, reviewing prior imaging or reports to ensure your care is safe, comprehensive, and fully informed.
