Spondylolisthesis Treatment

What is Spondylolisthesis?

Spondylolisthesis is a spinal condition that causes vertebra to shift to one side of the body. This condition can cause back pain, leg pain, and severely restrict your activity level. At The Spine Center, we’re committed to helping you get active again. We use minimally invasive procedures to fight spondylolisthesis, so you can have a straight spine and a healthy, pain-free back.

Spondylolisthesis is a defect in which one bone in your back slides over the bone below it. This tends to occur mostly in the lower spine, and can cause the nerves or spinal cord to be pinched. With spondylolisthesis, you can experience severe discomfort and even weakness all the way down through your legs.

Spondylolisthesis can occur for any number of reasons. It could be caused by a defective joint you’ve had since birth, or it could be that the joint was damaged in an accident.
