A member asked:
Can you tell me what the medical term retrolisthesis means in referanceto the cervical spine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spine alignment: Retrolisthesis describes the position of one vertebra being out of alignment relative to the rest of the spinal column. The abnormal cervical vertebra is positioned behind or posterior to its normal position relative to the adjacent vertebra. This may be normal for you, or may indicate an instability. Your doctor can help determine the severity and implication of the retrolisthesis.
