Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which one vertebral bone slides forward relative to another, causing pain and instability of the spine. Treatment may include physical therapy, targeted exercises to strengthen the back muscles, and in some cases, surgery to stabilize the spine.

disc prolapse

Spondylolisthesis is a displacement of the vertebrae that can occur due to congenital malformations or degenerative changes.

Treatment for spondylolisthesis can be conservative and include physical therapy exercises to strengthen back muscles and improve mobility. In severe cases, surgery to correct the vertebral displacement may be necessary. An orthopedist can determine the best course of action.

disc prolapse

Spondylolisthesis, in which a vertebral body slides forward relative to the vertebra underneath, was first described in the 19th century. During this time, orthopedic surgeons began to research the mechanisms and causes of this disease. Modern diagnostic imaging techniques such as computed tomography have improved the accuracy of diagnosis. Treatment options range from conservative measures such as physical therapy to surgical procedures to stabilize the spine.
