Spondylolisthesis

OVerview

Spondylolisthesis is a condition where one vertebral body has slipped forward over another and it most commonly occurs in the lumbar spine L5 - S1, but can happen anywhere in the spine. Spondylolisthesis can cause pain but can be helped with non-surgical therapies. The use of Chiropractic BioPhysics is an optimal, non-surgical treatment for those suffering from Spondylolisthesis. Mirror-Imaging Traction is a therapy used at AVANT Chiropractic that aids in bringing each individual’s spine back to a more aligned curvature.
