🦴 SLIPPING OF THE SPINE IS TREATABLE — IF DETECTED EARLY.

Spondylolisthesis is a condition where one vertebra slips over another, causing back pain, leg pain, numbness, difficulty walking, or nerve compression.

Many patients ignore symptoms for months thinking it is “just back pain.”

But timely diagnosis and the right treatment can prevent worsening instability and nerve damage.

✅ Common symptoms:
• Low back pain
• Sciatica / leg pain
• Difficulty standing or walking for long periods
• Tight hamstrings
• Relief while bending forward or sitting

✅ Important fact:
Severity of symptoms does NOT always match the amount of slip seen on X-ray. Nerve compression and instability matter more.

✅ Treatment options include:
• Activity modification
• Physiotherapy & core strengthening
• Medications / injections
• Surgery only in selected patients with instability or neurological deficits

Early diagnosis + right treatment = better outcomes.
