Are you suffering from an undiagnosed and untreated spinal fracture?

The only thing worse than suffering serious injuries in an accident is suffering serious injuries - that are not caught by your doctor. Unfortunately, this is the reality for a good portion of the population. Doctors and researchers estimate that up to a quarter of the population is living with an undiagnosed spinal fracture - but most don't know they have one.

Who is most at risk of an undiagnosed spinal fracture?

• Women over the age of 50 are especially at risk, however men are also affected.

How widespread is the problem?

• One spinal fracture happens every 22 seconds across the world
• Up to 25 percent of Caucasian men and women currently have a spinal fracture
• One in five women with a spinal fracture will experience another within a year
• As the world population ages, this issue is expected to become much more serious

What can happen if your spinal fracture goes undiagnosed?

• Stooped back
• Chronic and acute back pain
• Deformity
• Disability
• Depression
• Loss of height
• Your future risk of fractures rises significantly
• You may need to spend more days in bed
• Lung function may be reduced
• Premature death

What are the signs that you could be suffering from a spinal fracture? There are THREE MAIN SIGNS to watch for:
