Spondylolisthesis: Back Pain Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment
What is Spondylolisthesis?
Spondylolisthesis is a spinal condition characterized by the forward displacement of one vertebra over the one below it. It can occur at any level of the spine, but it most commonly affects the lower back (lumbar spine). This condition often leads to back pain and may require medical intervention to manage the symptoms and prevent further complications.
Causes of Spondylolisthesis
Spondylolisthesis can have various underlying causes, including:
- Genetic factors
- Developmental abnormalities
- Age-related degeneration of the spine
- Traumatic injury
- Repetitive stress or strain on the spine
Understanding the specific cause of spondylolisthesis is crucial for determining the appropriate treatment approach. At Regency Square Care Center, our healthcare professionals specialize in diagnosing and treating spondylolisthesis in elderly individuals.
Symptoms of Spondylolisthesis
The symptoms of spondylolisthesis can vary depending on the severity and location of the condition. Common symptoms include:
- Lower back pain, which may radiate to the buttocks or thighs
- Stiffness and reduced range of motion in the back
- Leg pain or numbness, often affecting one side of the body
- Muscle weakness in the legs
