Spondylolisthesis

How is a spondylolisthesis commonly treated? 

Despite seeming like a complex and serious issue to deal with, treating the condition does not need to be overly complicated with the right guidance. Treating a spondylolisthesis focuses on restoring balance to surrounding muscles of the spine and pelvis, to help to offload the forces on vertebral structures. This is achieved by identifying what may be the cause for the original issue, and correcting this through a personalised exercise program involving mobility, stretching and strengthening exercises.
