East Tennessee Spine & Sport is your go-to provider for
Spondylolisthesis
Spondylolisthesis is a condition characterized by the displacement or slippage of one vertebra over another in the spine. It typically occurs in the lower back, most commonly at the junction between the lumbar spine and the sacrum. This displacement can lead to spinal instability, nerve compression, and associated symptoms such as back pain, leg pain, muscle weakness, and numbness. Spondylolisthesis can be caused by various factors, including developmental abnormalities, degenerative changes, trauma, or stress fractures in the vertebrae. The condition is typically diagnosed through a combination of medical history review, physical examination, and imaging tests such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRI scans. Treatment options for spondylolisthesis range from conservative measures like physical therapy, pain management, and bracing to surgical intervention in more severe cases. The chosen treatment approach depends on the severity of symptoms, degree of slippage, and individual patient factors.
