One of the most challenging low back problems I treat is called spondylolisthesis. It’s a medical term that refers to the instability of the spine, which can be very painful. Symptoms include severe low back pain, numbness, and tingling that may radiate down the legs. This pain can keep you up at night or even lead to an emergency room visit. Spondylolisthesis has different stages, and depending on the severity, surgical intervention may be necessary. 

When it comes to spondylolisthesis, early intervention is key. If you’re experiencing any low back pain that doesn’t resolve within a month, seek professional help. Early treatment leads to better outcomes, an improved quality of life, and reduces unnecessary suffering.
