Living with lower back pain, leg weakness, or spinal instability? These could be symptoms of spondylolisthesis, a condition where one vertebra slips forward over the one beneath it. At Redlands Chiropractic, we offer non-surgical, natural treatments to manage symptoms, stabilize your spine, and help you move with confidence.
What Is Spondylolisthesis?
Spondylolisthesis often results from degenerative changes, stress fractures, or traumatic
injury. It can cause the spine to become unstable and compress nearby nerves, leading to pain
and mobility issues.
There are several types:
● Degenerative spondylolisthesis (common in older adults)
● Isthmic spondylolisthesis (caused by stress fracture)
● Traumatic spondylolisthesis (from accidents or injuries)
Common Symptoms
● Lower back pain
● Radiating pain into the legs or buttocks
● Sciatica-like symptoms
● Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the legs
● Difficulty standing or walking for long periods
● Tight hamstrings and reduced spinal flexibility
Chiropractic Care for Spondylolisthesis
While chiropractic care cannot reverse vertebral slippage, it can alleviate symptoms and
improve spinal function. Our non-invasive, whole-body approach includes:
✔ Gentle Spinal Adjustments
We use specific techniques to improve spinal alignment and reduce nerve pressure without
over-mobilizing the affected segment.
✔ Soft Tissue Therapy
Therapies that target tight muscles and ligaments help relieve inflammation, increase flexibility,
and stabilize surrounding structures.
✔ Posture & Movement Coaching
Slouching, poor movement patterns, and weak core muscles can exacerbate spondylolisthesis.
We guide you in correcting habits that support spinal health.
✔ X-Ray Imaging
X-rays help us evaluate the degree of vertebral slippage and monitor progress over time.
