As people get older --particularly women -- they run the risk of suffering compression fractures in the spine.
It's often very painful --and over time - fractures can affect a person's posture.
[ANCHOR=JEAN 2 shot]
But as Health Check Reporter Joy Sutton tells us - a new procedure now available in the Roanoke Valley can do more than just relieve the pain.

Doctor John Mathis --head of Radiology at Lewis-Gale Medical Center --is one of the first radiologists in the country to perform a new back pain procedure known as kyphoplasty.
