Most people fully recover from a vertebral compression fracture within 6 to 8 weeks. However, some people may take up to 12 weeks or even longer to fully recover.
It's important to remember that everyone is different and that each person will heal at his or her own pace. So if you don't feel like you're recovering as quickly as you'd like, be sure to talk to your doctor about it. He or she may be able to give you some helpful tips and advice on how to speed up your recovery process.
