About Spondylolisthesis Video
[MUSIC PLAYING] Spondylolisthesis simply means
a shift between two vertebrae. Symptoms of spondylolisthesis
frequently involve back pain. The back pain is
typically well localized where the problem or
the slip has occurred. If left untreated or unchecked
and the spondylolisthesis happens to progress, the
patient can ultimately end up with nerve impingement. Symptoms of the
nerve impingement may also include pain
radiating down a leg, weakness or numbness in the extremity. Treatment for Spondylolisthesis
begins with physical therapy. Core training and
a strong core are the first line of
defense for progression of spondylolisthesis. Surgical options for
treating of spondylolisthesis typically involve
fusion surgery where the slip or the shift
in the alignment is repaired and then surgically
stabilized with rods and screws in a fusion type procedure
to give you a permanent fix. [MUSIC PLAYING]
