Spondylolisthesis Research Papers
Hello Professor and class,
I chose to write about Spondylolisthesis. Spondylolisthesis is a fracture or slippage of the vertebrae and the part of the axial skeleton this disorder affects is the lower back.

The long term effects from having this seems to depend on how severe the symptoms are. Some ways that a doctor could treat Spondylolisthesis are to give medication, pain management, physical therapy, hydrotherapy, a brace, and in more severe cases surgery (Mayfield clinic, 2015). Personally, I would try everything but surgery first. I have a herniated disc in my back and I know how
