- Do you have spondylolisthesis? Approximately 1:20 patients that come through our office have this condition, and you can only spot it on x-ray. This is a hidden danger and why you must get a chiropractic x-ray before starting care. While nothing may happen in the short-term, this could potentially lead to complications if your chiropractor is unaware of the condition.

Fabulous video.
Could you kindly share a video where U adjust grade 1 spondyolisthesis so that we are aware how it’s done!! Kindly also share do’s and don’t by a chiropractor !! We can be aware when our chiropractor does the same and if he does something which he shouldn’t then v can say no
Good idea! I'll add this to our list of videos we need to make.
Hello 40 year old male here who has been in severe pain for 10 years. I have what MRI says is 2mm spondylolisthesis at c5-6...It's been very, very bad for many years. To simplify, it's difficult to hold my head up, pain through my chest, ribs, collar and heart. I can feel pressure on my voice box/ throat even. I absolutely couldn't lay down flat without the feeling of swolleling that would immediately start in my finger tips and progress into my inner shoulders and collar resulting in pressure through my heart area. Breathing was even something I had to think about, it seemed to be an effort to breathe. I have a
7mm tumor at my t6 and a few other smaller ones down lower. I assumed the 7 mm. tumor is what caused the spondylolisthesis but who knows. Just the other day while walking and in the middle of taking a step, I cracked my neck forcefully with 2 hands and WOW A abnormal HUGE KA POW!!! from the c5-6 area. This crack was 200 times more powerful than any before, my neck normally cracks 100s of times daily because it's always so tight, bound up and feels like my muscles are so tight they just want to mis align bones. Since then, 4 days now my problems have gotten way better, I can feel the nerve damage because I'm getting feeling back through my upper torso...it's a great feeling, I can breathe way easier, every breath is un labored. I can lay flat now after years of near instant problems. Things were bad for me...could my spondylolisthesis have just slammed back into proper alignment? Was I mis diagnosed with spondylolisthesis? Why did they grade it 2mm instead of 2/5? Any insight why this huge problem seems to have fixed itself?
It's unlikely the spondylolisthesis went back into place. If it did, it would still remain unstable. I can't give a diagnosis without an examination, as it would be a violation of my license.
Who cares if it did or didn’t I’m dying here c7 spondylolisthesis 3mm I can’t live properly. What did you do to crack it please
Very informative video. I wish my chiropractor had ordered x-rays of my lower back before adjustments. I'm offset 2mm at L4/5 according to recent x-rays and MRI with significant disc and facet degeneration. I had a big "pop" moment like the weightlifter (a few months after weekly adjustments) but have no way of knowing how offset it was before adjustments. I'm in PT now to strengthen my core but feel it moving and hear it pop with certain movements like squats, crunches, leg lifts, and even some overhead lifting. I didn't know how serious it was and could get until I took myself to an orthopedic doctor. I don't think I will go back to that chiropractor. He ordered x-rays of my thoracic and cervical spine...why not also the lumbar before adjustments?!
It's becoming more common that chiros are being taught not to order x-rays in most cases
I am 20 yrs old with grade 1.whats the probability that it will slip to grade 2 in future
All depends on your activities. Some people are Grade 1 their entire lives. Just check out this page for a list of do's and don'ts: corechiropractic.net/spondylolisthesis
I am the same age and I also have the same question, I'm really concerned about the future
Hello I’ve been diagnosed with anterolisthesis grade 1 nearly reaching grade 2, how can I contact you to schedule an online consultation ?
We don't do online consultations, you'd have to come to our office. You can schedule here: www.corechiropractic.net
I have grade 2 spondy, maybe grade 1. Been a while since I got it checked, and weightlifting is my passion - deadlift and squats included. Will I have to say goodbye to deadlifting and squatting?
We wouldn't recommend you continue going heavy on either exercise. Grade 2 spondy especially. If it slips more, you could end up needing surgery.
@@COREChiropracticHouston Thank you for your reply. It is only sometimes that I experience pain in the affected area after working out, after which the pain resides given 2 or 3 days of stretching. Given that I can always rehabilitate, does this change anything? I hear and read stories of those with grade two who safely lift how I do by incorporating certain stretches and core exercises.
@@logicallyfallacious4151 - I've had patients lift for years without issue, but then one bad lift made everything worse. It's hard to know if you're using good form without someone watching you to be sure. Here's a page we put together that may be helpful: www.corechiropractic.net/spondylolisthesis/
@@logicallyfallacious4151 Chiming in a year after your comment... I was a 20+ year competitive Powerlifter and now at 48 it's become too late. My suggestion to you is that ABANDON squats and deadlifts and any loading of the spine. I still lift weights to this day, modified exercises albeit limited but at the ripe age of 48 I cannot stand or walk for more than 5 mins without my leg going numb.
I have congenital spondylolisthesis and it has been affecting for more than 7 years.. I have even taken medication...and I love playing football.. Can I still played?
I can't give a diagnosis on the internet or give recommendations like that. It depends on a lot of factors. You'll have to check with your MD or chiropractor - someone that has seen x-rays of your spondylolisthesis.
When do you feel PAin?
Can a chiropractor fix spondyolisthesis grade1 ? Can it go back to normal position ?
No, not fix. It's due to a fracture. The chiropractor can show you things to do to avoid making it worse. They have to adjust you differently to help with your back pain, but they aren't trying to fix the spondylolisthesis.
I was diagnosed with this. L5/S1. I had numb and sore toes, feet, and legs. Along with lower back pain. Could this cause the lower extremity pain?
Pressure on the L5 nerve root can definitely cause lower extremity pain.
Pretty sure I have this condition in my thoracic region (feels like T5-T7 area) is this any more or less dangerous? You can physically feel where my spine “ dips” in when feeling down all my vertebrae. Feels like there is an entire Vertebrae missing.
It's not very common at all in the thoracic spine. Shows up more in the neck or lower back. You should be able to see it on x-ray, but wouldn't be able to feel it during an examination.
is there any possibility to cure grade 3 spondylolisthesis??plz suggest me..
Not usually - that may require surgery. I would still consider seeing a chiropractor and building up as much core strength as possible.
yes
Surgery karlo bhai , pain stiffness hai kya ? Muze grade 1 hai paint hota after biking .
What are your thoughts with L1-L6, L6 to S1 grade 2-45% and L5-L6 grade 1-25%. remote history of injection and mild to moderate leg and LBP.
I'm sorry, I just can't give out that kind of advice online. I would need to do an examination and see x-rays before providing helpful information.
With spondyolisthesis grade 1 can we do normal exercise and run
Yes - but there are a few things to watch out for. Here's the link that tells you all the do's and dont's: www.corechiropractic.net/spondylolisthesis/
Are you able to run ? With grade 1?
@@samippudke yes ..may feel heavy next day but haven't tried for long periods I mean there is no such need for me
@@ginogigi2639 ya after running make me stiffnes in morning.
its possible to cure grade 1 ?
thanks 🙂
People have shown some reduction in how far the vertebra has moved forward, but I wouldn't call it a cure or even that it was 100% fixed. Best option is to continue to build core strength and adjust the vertebrae and pelvis around the spondylolisthesis.
I have also grade1 , what symptoms do you have ? I have stiffness n pain after activity .
My chiropractor took X-rays in his office before I started chiropractic care. However the pars fracture(s) was missed when reviewing X-ray. They were not read by a radiologist but by the chiropractor himself … I’m not sure if this is common practice. I had about 24 sessions. Fast forward 2 years after a move to a new house (lifting and unpacking boxes) I started to experience extreme debilitating back pain. A new set of X-rays revealed spondylolisthesis (15mm).
Grade 3 spondylosis in l5-s1 can i avoid surgery for about 8months by any therepy or something
Hard to say, but many patients are able to avoid surgeries by avoiding things that will make it worse. Keep a healthy weight and a strong core.
I have about 1mm movement spondylolisthesis in my c4-c5 area. Will I be able to bench press again and weightlift in general?
You would need to discuss this with your medical doctor or chiropractor that has seen and can review your case and x-rays.
I have grade 1 , normally it doesn't pain but activities like bike riding n all gives pain'. Should I go for fusion, ? Physio gives temporary relief.
Wish I could tell you specifically what to do, but I can't do that over the internet. You'll need to talk to your doctor about that.
@@COREChiropracticHouston Dr. Suggesting surgery , also he saying it can be farward in future and pinch nerve . But physical therapy didn't work much .
Hi Doctor,
I have Mild central spondylolisthesis at L5/SI with chronically fractured pars interarticularis of L5 and uncovered posterior disc indenting the ventral thecal sac at this level.
I am suffering from pain somtimes extends to my left leg, espicially when bending or standing for 5 minuted or walking for more than 15 minutes.
I am 41 years old, female.
Doctors in my country recommends me to do surgery, this is the first time I know about chiropractic adjustement therapy.
Can the chiropractic adjustement therapy treat or my case?
I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble, but I'm not able to assess your case or give opinions without doing at least a consultation or examination. I would recommend finding a chiropractor in your area that can properly assess you.
@@COREChiropracticHouston Thank you for your response,however my inquiry is does chiropractic therapy treat spondylolisthesis with fracutre at the pars interartucularies?
@@hanakareem4799 - we don't treat the fracture. We would help with whatever symptom you're having (assuming low back pain) by working around the spondylolisthesis. We aren't going to directly touch or adjust the fractured area. By seeing exactly what's fractured via x-ray, we can be very specific on the areas we want to adjust and avoid the other areas.
if not fractured can chiropractic cure it?
It's a previous fracture, there's no other way you got this. Chiropractic cannot cure this, but can help with pain associated with it.
