Spondylolisthesis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Spondylolisthesis is the displacement of one vertebra relative to the one below it, which alters the normal alignment of the spine. It can affect things in different ways depending on the degree of slippage and the area involved, most frequently in the lumbar region.
When is it worth checking? Lower back pain, stiffness, or discomfort that radiates toward the legs are signs that warrant an evaluation.
Which specialist treats it? The neurologist evaluates the symptoms related to the nerves, and the neurosurgeon gets involved when the structure of the spine is studied.
Why not postpone it? Because its management depends on the degree and on each person, only an individual evaluation can guide it. If back pain persists or radiates, the sensible thing is to discuss it with a professional.
