Depends on type of: Spondylolisthesis & if Any associated conditions as disc herniation &/or spinal stenosis. Most treated non op with good weight control, avoiding tobacco, regular exercise including flexibility, core strengthening & cardio workouts. A back support & OTC meds can help. If not see a spine specialist for further evaluation with possible PT, meds, injections or even surgery if no improvement.
