Spondylolisthesis is a condition where one vertebra slips forward over the adjacent vertebra, commonly occurring in the lower lumbar region (L4-L5 or L5-S1). Many patients live with this condition for extended periods without symptoms, and it often becomes symptomatic only after activities like lifting or minor slips. For patients experiencing only back pain without radicular symptoms, conservative management with core strengthening exercises is typically effective, while back extension exercises should be avoided. Surgery is generally not required for these cases.

Living with Spondylolisthesis: Understanding "Asymptomatic" Spine ConditionsAdded:
Hi, recently a lot of patients I'm seeing who have got spondylolisthesis, which but which are just with back pain, there is no radicular pain. And these patients generally have these kind of spondylolisthesis in the lower lumbar region, generally L5-S1 or L4-5 since a long long period of time, but they have become symptomatic recently. It might be just because they have lifted anything or it has just had a some slip. But these patients generally don't need any surgery and these can be managed conservatively more with core strengthening exercises.
The only exercise which is avoided in these is back extension exercises. So, if you have anyone who has got these kind of problems, just a back pain and there is a slip of one vertebrae over the other as shown over here, you can follow us at Wockhardt Spine Care. I have my clinic in Vashi and Mumbai and you can definitely see me over there.
Thank you.
