It takes around three months for a compression fracture of the spine to heal naturally.

If you've had a compression fracture of the spine just take it easy for at least three months before returning to your normal activities and within 3 months you should be feeling better and it shouldn't be as painful as before.

If you're still experiencing any pain after three months then I would advise seeing your doctor.
