The vertebral fracture was likely due to a sudden movement or jerk that caused the spine to move beyond its normal range of motion. This type of injury is common in people who have weak or degenerated spinal disks, as these disks are less able to withstand excessive movement or force. In many cases, a vertebral fracture can be quite painful and may cause numbness, tingling, and weakness in the arms or legs. It is important to seek medical attention if you experience any of these symptoms after receiving a massage.
