There are dozens, likely hundreds of problems that can cause back pain.
Kyphoplasty helps with just one of them. When it is appropriate it can be like magic!
But it has to be the right type of fracture at a level that kypho is appropriate. The fracture also has to be acute/subacute.
The multitude of other causes of back pain are not helped at all by a kyphoplasty. There are multiple other procedures that sometime are needed.
But few have the magical quality of immediate relief, as you go home the same day and nearly resume normal activity.
Back pain sucks. I hope you can get relief as well.
