Spondylolisthesis

Spondylolisthesis is a condition where one vertebra in the spine slips out of place, usually in relation to the vertebra below it. This can happen due to wear and tear, a birth defect, or an injury. When the vertebra shifts, it can press on nerves, causing pain in the back, legs, or feet. Symptoms might include stiffness, leg weakness, and discomfort while standing or walking. Treatment options vary from physical therapy and medications to surgery, depending on the severity of the condition and the symptoms experienced.
