Spondylolisthesis occurs when a vertebra slips forward over the one below it, potentially compressing nerves and causing back or leg pain. Dr. Bhakta offers non-surgical interventional treatments for effective pain management.
Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which one vertebra slides forward relative to the vertebra below it. This slippage can narrow the spinal canal or neural foramen, compressing nerves and causing lower back pain, leg pain, or both.
The condition ranges from mild (Grade I) to severe (Grade IV-V). Most cases of low-grade spondylolisthesis can be managed effectively without surgery using interventional pain management techniques.
Dr. Bhakta creates an individualized plan based on your specific diagnosis and symptoms.
