Spondylolisthesis is a term used for slipped disc or spine slippage. So if you’ve ever wondered what a slipped disc is, the video below should give an explanation of what a slipped disc is, who gets a slipped disc and how it can be treated without surgery if you have one. If you wish to read and get more details on our main site on Spondylolisthesis Treatment here.
In this video we only discuss spondylolisthesis or the lumbar spine and how it usually starts with a spondylolysis ( a break or crack) from a fall or accident. We see significant results in those with Grade I and II spondylolisthesis.
Spondylolisthesis Treatment and case is focused on the adult spondylolisthesis and adolescent or spondylolisthesis in children will be discussed later.
Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which one of the vertebrae slips out of place onto the vertebra below. This misalignment puts pressure on a nerve, and can cause lower back pain or leg pain. People with this condition are often fearful that something has gone wrong in their spine permanently, but spondylolisthesis may not always require medical attention.
It’s important to understand that spondylolisthesis usually happens gradually over time—not suddenly—so it’s unlikely that any serious damage has been done. That said, if you think you may have this condition, it’s best to consult with your doctor so they can diagnose and treat it properly. Treatment options vary depending upon the severity of your misalignment.
Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which one vertebra slips out of place onto the vertebra below, causing pain and potential nerve damage. In severe cases, this misalignment can put pressure on the nerves running from your lower back to your legs, resulting in lower back or leg pain that can range from dull aches to sharp jabs.
If you’re experiencing these symptoms and believe you may have spondylolisthesis, it’s important to seek help, you can come to us at LifesystemsChiropractic and we will help you.
Spondylolisthesis is a condition where one vertebra slips out of place onto the vertebra below, putting pressure on the nerves that travel from the spine to other parts of the body. This can cause pain in both the lower back and legs, leaving sufferers with difficulty walking or performing everyday activities.
The most common type of spondylolisthesis is called ‘degenerative’ and it occurs when wear and tear to ligaments and bones causes them to weaken over time. It can also be caused by traumatic injury or congenital abnormalities. Symptoms vary from person to person, but typically include lower back pain that radiates down one side of their leg as well as muscle weakness in their lower extremities.
If you have your own x-ray taken and were unclear or have never had anyone explain what it means to have a spondylolisthesis, this video should help you do that. Don’t throw away your old x-rays as we can use it to compare with new ones to determine if the condition has improved or deteriorated.
When a person has back pain we like to know where the pain is initiated? We know nerves send the pain signals to the brain to tell us pain exists. Is it muscle, bone, ligaments, nerves, diet or mental stress? Well that’s what we are going to do to help you figure that out.
It’s not uncommon for us to see elderly with a spondylolisthesis. With some elderly, Spondylolisthesis Treatment can take up to 6 visits to get significant results but this elderly improved significantly in 2 visits. I am always very excited to see these kinds of results. I want to thank Audrey for sending her testimonial.
