Spondylolisthesis Symptoms Can Be Similar to Those of Herniated Disc and Other Back Problems

Spondylolisthesis symptoms don’t surface for every person afflicted with the condition. To understand why, you must first understand what spondylolisthesis is: the slipping of one vertebra forward onto another. This generally occurs when a fracture in the vertebra allows it to break loose, or when the spongy, protective disc that helps to hold it in place disintegrates, slips, or shrinks. Sometimes, when this condition strikes, the two vertebra simply rest against each other. If that is the case, there will likely be no spondylolisthesis symptoms. However, in some cases the displaced vertebra will come to rest on the spine or a nerve, and the pressure will cause pain or other sensations that are common to many back problems.

These spondylolisthesis symptoms can include:

• Numbness
• Tingling
• Shock-like pains
• Weakness

All of these symptoms can occur not just in the lower back, but all the way down the leg and into the foot if the sciatic nerve is compressed. If you are experiencing any of these spondylolisthesis symptoms, your doctor will recommend a treatment plan that seeks to not only limit your pain, but also eliminate the nerve compression that’s causing it. In severe cases, this could require surgery. If your doctor recommends surgery, you may want to consider an endoscopic procedure at Laser Spine Institute. It can reduce your pain without all of the side effects and risks associated with more traditional back surgery.
