Spondylolisthesis

Get Started

FAQs

Spondylolisthesis occurs when one of the vertebrae in the spine slips out of position onto the bone below it, which can cause pain and nerve compression.

Common symptoms include lower back pain, muscle stiffness and tightness, pain in the buttocks, thigh pain, and in severe cases, leg weakness or numbness.

Diagnosis usually involves a physical examination and imaging studies such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans that provide detailed views of the alignment of the vertebrae and the extent of the slippage.

Causes can vary and include congenital structural anomalies, degenerative changes due to aging, trauma or injury to the spine, and, less commonly, diseases that weaken the bones, such as cancer.

Treatment options range from conservative measures like physical therapy and pain management to surgical interventions to realign and stabilize the vertebrae if symptoms are severe or progress.

Spondylolisthesis Explained

Understanding Spondylolisthesis

Spondylolisthesis is a condition where a vertebra in the spine slips forward over the one below it. It most commonly affects the lower spine but can occur at any level of the spine.

Symptoms of Spondylolisthesis

Symptoms can vary based on the severity and location of the slippage:

  • Lower back pain that can extend to the legs
  • Increased pain with activities, especially bending or twisting
  • Tight hamstring muscles
  • Changes in gait or posture as a compensatory mechanism

Causes and Risk Factors

Spondylolisthesis can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

  • Degenerative changes in the spine from aging
  • Congenital abnormalities
  • Traumatic injuries
  • Overuse injuries in athletes
  • Certain genetic factors increasing susceptibility

Diagnosis and Treatment

Management strategies for spondylolisthesis include:

  • Physical Therapy: To strengthen spinal and core muscles and increase flexibility.
  • Pain Management: Using medications and modalities to control pain.
  • Activity Modification: Avoiding activities that exacerbate the condition.
  • Surgical Treatment: In severe cases, procedures such as spinal fusion may be necessary to stabilize the spine and relieve symptoms.

Prevention

Preventive measures include maintaining good physical fitness, practicing proper body mechanics, and managing risk factors such as obesity that can stress the spine.
