Spondylolisthesis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Spondylolisthesis is a displacement of one vertebra of the spine relative to the one below it. This shift can affect the stability of the back and, in some cases, press on nearby nerve structures.
Frequent symptoms: Pain in the lower back, stiffness, and sometimes discomfort that radiates to the legs or a sensation of weakness.
Common causes: It may be due to age-related wear, defects in the vertebra, sports overload, or injuries.
Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist assesses the spine, while physical medicine and rehabilitation, sports medicine, and physical therapy can support functional recovery. If back pain persists or limits your movement, it is a good idea to seek a professional evaluation.
