Spondylolisthesis is a spinal disorder that causes lower back pain. It ensues when one of the vertebrae bones slips forward onto the vertebra below it. Spondylolisthesis is a condition that implicates spinal instability i.e the vertebrae move more than they should. The types of spondylolisthesis include Congenital Spondylolisthesis, Isthmic spondylolisthesis, and Degenerative spondylolisthesis. Traumatic, Pathological, and Post-surgical spondylolisthesis are some other common sorts. In congenital spondylolisthesis, the baby’s spine is abnormally formed. These misaligned vertebrae can put the baby at risk for slippage later in life. The crack, weakening, and fracture of the bone resulting in spondylosis rationales isthmic spondylolisthesis. Degenerative spondylolisthesis is a familiar type that transpires due to aging. And over time the disks that cushion the vertebrae lose water and as the disks thin, they can slip out of space inducing this condition. Spondylolisthesis occurs in about 4% to 6% of the adult population. The risk factors of spondylolisthesis include athletics, genetics, and age. This condition is determined based on severity i.e Low grade (Grade 1 and Grade 2) and High grade (Grade 3 and Grade 4). Overextending the spine is one of the main reasons for spondylolisthesis. In older adults, disks and spine can have wear and tear which can also cause this situation. Spinal X-Ray and CT-Scan or MRI Scan tests can be done to diagnose the ailment. Rest, medication, injections, physical therapy, and bracing are some of the non-surgical remedies.
