Physical Therapy in Hazle Township for Lower Back
Welcome to FYZICAL Hazleton's patient resource about Lumbar Spondylolisthesis.
Normally, the bones of the spine (the vertebrae) stand neatly stacked on top of one another. Ligaments and joints support the spine. Spondylolisthesis alters the alignment of the spine. In this condition, one of the spine bones slips forward over the one below it. As the bone slips forward, the nearby tissues and nerves may become irritated and painful.
