Spondylolisthesis is a spinal condition where one vertebra slips forward or backward over the vertebra below it. This misalignment can cause pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots, leading to pain, stiffness, and other symptoms. It most commonly occurs in the lower back (lumbar spine) and can result from degenerative changes, injury, or congenital conditions. In some cases, spondylolisthesis may cause no symptoms at all, but when it does, it can lead to discomfort, numbness, or weakness, often affecting mobility. Treatment options depend on the severity of the condition and its impact on daily life.
Spondylolisthesis may present with a variety of signs and symptoms, depending on the severity of the condition. Common symptoms include lower back pain, which can worsen with activity or prolonged standing. In more severe cases, the slipped vertebra can put pressure on the spinal nerves, leading to symptoms such as leg pain, numbness, or tingling, particularly in the thighs, buttocks, or lower legs. Weakness in the legs and difficulty walking can also occur. Some individuals may experience stiffness or a limited range of motion in the back, while others may notice a noticeable lump or protrusion in the lower spine. In rare cases, spondylolisthesis can cause bowel or bladder dysfunction if the nerves controlling these functions are affected.
As people age, the discs and joints in the spine can wear down, weakening the vertebrae and allowing one to slip over another. This is particularly common in older adults.
Some individuals are born with defects in the spinal bones, which can make them more prone to developing spondylolisthesis as they grow.
A fracture or severe injury to the spine, such as from an accident or sports-related incident, can cause one vertebra to slip out of place.
Certain physical activities or occupations that involve heavy lifting, twisting, or bending can place strain on the lower spine, potentially leading to spondylolisthesis over time.
Conditions such as scoliosis or other spinal deformities can increase the risk of vertebrae shifting out of alignment.
