Spondylolisthesis can be a common but often overlooked cause of low back pain. So what exactly does this big word, spondylolisthesis, entails?
Spondylolisthesis occurs when a vertebrae becomes displaced. The displacement can be classified as a forward (anterior) slippage or backward (posterior) slippage.
The displacement is due to structural weakness in the surrounding supporting structures of the spine. The most common type of spondylolisthesis is the isthmic type brought on by stress fracture in the lower spine.
Due to the delicate of the tissues surrounding the spine, spondylolisthesis can be a debilitating condition. Patients with spondylolisthesis can experience:
• Radiating, sharp shooting pain going into the legs ie. Sciatica
•Painful and restricted movements especially with bending backwards
• Tight hamstrings.
• Stoop forward posture for relief.
