Spondylolisthesis Causes Vary From Patient to Patient

Spondylolisthesis is the slipping of one vertebra onto another in front of it. While many times this is a symptomless condition, occasionally the two bones will press on a nearby nerve, causing pain. There are two main causes of spondylolisthesis. A small fracture, known as a spondylolysis, can weaken the vertebra and allow it to slip out of place. Some people are more genetically susceptible to this condition than others. Athletes, especially those who put a lot of strain on their lower backs, are also at a higher risk for this kind of fracture. The second of the most common spondylolisthesis causes is deterioration of the disc between the vertebrae. This disc can shrink, disintegrate or slip out of place, allowing the vertebrae on either side of it to move more than it should. Whatever the case, the resulting pain can be a lot to bear and can include shock-like, numbing, or tingling sensations in the back. Fortunately, there are treatments for this condition that can ease your pain.  In severe cases, surgery may even be recommended. If you find yourself with spondylolisthesis that causes extreme pain, you may want to explore treatment at Laser Spine Institute. 

We can eliminate or lessen the causes of your spondylolisthesis pain with endoscopic surgery that’s:

• More effective than traditional surgery.
• Less risky than traditional surgery in regards to infection and general anesthesia.
  
• Performed in an out-patient surgery center, not a hospital.
• Quicker to recover from; about two weeks on average.

Our back surgery patients report that they have an increased quality of life within three months of surgery and some have even reported feeling some relief before they were even off the operating table.

If this sounds like the resolution you’ve been seeking for your spondylolisthesis causes, contact, contact Laser Spine Institute today. We’ll review your MRI or CT scan for free to determine if you are a good candidate for any of our procedures.
