Spondylolisthesis
Spondylolisthesis is a type of condition affecting the spine where one of the vertebra ends up slipping backward or forward when compared to the vertebra next to it. Forward slippage of the vertebra is often referred to as anterolisthesis, while backward slippage is known as retrolisthesis. Spondylolisthesis leads to spinal deformity in addition to a narrowing of the spinal canal or compression of the nerve roots that exit the region. A spondylolisthesis can cause a low grade back ache. However, in many cases they are not painful. Sometimes the patient will report a previous injury to the spine during sport or a hobby. Vertebrae are the blocks of bone in your spine. They are separated by discs and facet joints. In between the front and back of the vertebra is a bridge known as a pars.
