Sliding vertebrae - stability through targeted movement
What physiotherapy and occupational therapy can do for spondylolisthesis
A slipped vertebra - medically known as spondylolisthesis - can cause back pain, restricted movement or radiating symptoms. Many sufferers are unsettled when they receive this diagnosis. But the good news is: In the vast majority of cases, a slipped vertebra can be treated well conservatively and without surgery. Pain can be reduced and stability significantly improved with targeted physiotherapy, functional strengthening and everyday occupational therapy.
