Trusted Spine Specialist for Spondylolisthesis Management

If you are struggling with persistent back pain, stiffness, or pain radiating to your legs, it might be due to spondylolisthesis — a condition where one spinal bone slips over another.

At Advanced Spine & Joint Care, Prof. Dr. Ambarish Mathesul, a highly experienced orthopedic and spine specialist, provides advanced spondylolisthesis treatment in Pune using minimally invasive and modern techniques.

The term spondylolisthesis comes from two words: “spondylo” meaning spine, and “listhesis” meaning slip.
It refers to the forward or backward slipping of one vertebra over another, most commonly seen in the lower spine (L4-L5 or L5-S1 region). In some cases, it can also affect the neck (cervical spine) or mid-back (dorsal spine), especially after trauma.

This condition can lead to spinal instability, nerve compression, and pain that radiates to the legs or arms depending on the affected area.

The symptoms of spondylolisthesis are similar to those of a slipped disc. They can range from mild discomfort to severe pain that affects daily life. Common symptoms include:

• Constant lower back pain that worsens with movement
  
• Pain radiating to the legs or thighs (sciatica-like pain)
  
• Tingling or numbness in the legs
  
• Muscle weakness or difficulty walking
  
• Increased pain while bending or lifting heavy objects
  
• In rare cases, loss of bladder or bowel control (medical emergency)

If you notice these symptoms, it’s important to seek timely care from a qualified orthopedic spine specialist.

The condition develops when the connection between two vertebrae becomes weak or damaged, leading to instability and slippage.
Common causes include:

• Degenerative changes due to aging
  
• Repetitive stress from sports or heavy lifting
  
• Congenital defects in the spine
  
• Traumatic injury to the back or neck
• Weak back muscles and poor posture

Diagnosis is made through:

1. Detailed medical history and physical examination by a spine specialist
   
2. X-rays, which clearly show the slippage of the vertebra
   
3. MRI scans, to check for nerve compression or soft tissue issues

Dr. Ambarish Mathesul combines clinical expertise and advanced imaging to accurately diagnose and plan the best spondylolisthesis treatment in Pune.

Treatment depends on the severity of the slip and symptoms.

• Rest and activity modification
  
• Pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory medications
  
• Physiotherapy and back-strengthening exercises
• Bracing for spinal support

Surgery may be recommended if the patient experiences:

• Severe or worsening pain
  
• Nerve compression causing weakness
  
• Difficulty performing daily activities
  
• Failure of conservative treatments

The surgery involves decompressing the pinched nerves and stabilizing the spine using advanced fixation methods such as rods, plates, and screws.
