Treatment of Spondylolisthesis Available in India

Spondylo means "vertebra" and listhesis means "to slip". Spondylolisthesis is when one vertebra slips forward over the vertebra below it. Most often, that happens in the low back (lumbar spine) because that part of your spine bears a lot of weight and absorbs a lot of directional pressures.

NON SURGICAL TREATMENT :

Initial treatment for spondylolysis is always nonsurgical. Non surgical treatment includes -
Anti-inflammatory medications : Such as ibuprofen, may help reduce back pain.
Back brace and Physical Therapy

Periodic X-rays will show whether the vertebra is changing position.

SURGICAL TREATMENT :

Surgery may be needed if slippage progressively worsens or if back pain does not respond to nonsurgical treatment and begins to interfere with activities of daily living. A spinal fusion is performed between the lumbar vertebra and the sacrum. Sometimes, an internal brace of screws and rods is used to hold together the vertebra as the fusion heals.

Nerve compression, Damage of Spinal Nerve roots, Chronic back pain these are some complications may causes in spondylothesis.

Conservative therapy for mild spondylolisthesis is successful in about 80% of cases. When necessary, surgery produces satisfactory results in 85 - 90% of people with severe, painful spondylolisthesis.
