Spondylisthesis Cure


Spondylolithesis can be overcome if we pay proper attention to its treatment. There are surgical as well as non-surgical cures for the patient according to the degree of severity. The followings are some of the important spondylolisthesis cures:

For the people suffering from Isthmic Spondylolisthesis, medicines suggested by the doctors are acetaminophen, ibuprofen and other Anti-Inflammatory drugs commonly called NSAIDs. These are painkillers and reduce pain to a great extent.

Heat and ice can be very effective in providing relief. Physical Therapy is recommended to reduce stress on the back and stretching should be exercised two times a day.

For Degenerative Spondylolisthesis, the patient is recommended to bring a little change in his routine life activities such as he should do those tasks that require sitting and avoid doing any activity that needs a long time standing or walking. He can have a short term bed-rest and should not perform such tasks that require frequent bending and there is no need of doing aexercise in Degenerative Spondylolisthesis instead biking can be done, but in a stationary position. Besides, OTC (Over the Counter) medication is available to get relief from back pain. Pool Therapy is also very useful cure because here water acts as a support to the back.

For patients having pain in legs and lower parts of the body, epidural injections are suggested by the physicians. These injections reduce pain and with the passage of time, minimum 7 days and maximum one year, the patient is able to get relief.

For patients suffering from Congenital Spondylolisthesis, some practitioners recommend posterior surgery while some suggest anterior surgery, however, a combination of both can be applied for better results. In case of severe condition, decompression and surgical fusion are reliable methods of treatment.

Inversion Therapy is practiced to alleviate the stress on the backside or another cure is Nubax Trio that decompresses the spinal structure and weight of your body is used in this program. There are also various kinds of exercises that help in the reduction of pain and provide strength to the muscles of posterior structure like the one given below:

Stretch your arms and repeat the steps ten times. Generally the pain can be overcome by conventional cures and there are a very few patients who have to pass by surgical treatment.
