What is spondylolisthesis?

Spondylolisthesis is a spinal condition where one vertebra slips forward over the one below it due to instability. It can occur in any part of the spine, but it is most commonly found in the lumbar (lower back) region.

What are the symptoms of spondylolisthesis?

The most common symptom of spondylolisthesis is lower back pain, which may radiate down to the buttocks and legs. Stiffness or soreness in the affected part of the spine is commonly reported. Another symptom of spondylolisthesis may be numbness, tingling sensations or weakness in the legs due to compression of nerve pathways traveling from the affected vertebrae. In cases where there is considerable slippage of one vertebra over another, a patient may experience difficulty with activities such as bending, lifting or twisting their trunk.

What are the treatments for spondylolisthesis?

Treatment for spondylolisthesis depends largely on the severity of the condition, but there are a variety of approaches available to help manage the symptoms. Chiropractic care can be an effective way to treat aches, pains and immobility associated with Spondylolisthesis. Through chiropractic adjustments targeting the problem area, chiropractors can help lessen discomfort caused by muscle tension and misalignment of vertebrae. Physiotherapy is another popular option, which involves specific exercises tailored to improve core strength and reduce pain. Massage therapy is also a great choice for reducing inflammation which often occurs with this condition. With any treatment approach it is recommended to seek the advice of a qualified health practitioner who will work with you to develop a tailored plan that works best for you.
