@tilou This is a good question. If a compression fracture heals in a way that creates a different size or shape in the vertebral body, or if it heals in a way that adds a new curvature to the spine, that of course will alter the physical characteristic of the bones of the spine. With all the spinal muscles attached to the attachment points of the vertebral bones, some could get pulled or stretched and that may lead to muscle spasms that move the spine and change curvature. My vertigo was happening because of altered blood supply when the vertebral arteries (inside the cervical vertebrae) were getting stretched when my spine was twisting and stayed that way dues to the muscle spasms.

Do you have a compression fracture in your neck? I most often hear of compression fractures in thoracic or lumbar sections of the spine. The body also has to try to balance itself with the total spine curvature that a person has, and that compensation may not be ergonomically good spine balance and posture if there are some abnormalities.

Have you been evaluated by a physical therapist?
