Consider: An evaluation by an osteopathic physician, a physician trained in the musculoskeletal system, to review options.

Surgery: According to the sport trials, surgery for spondylolisthesis is quite effective in patients who fail non-operative modalities. The surgery most often required is a fusion.

Try back support: For some, a simple elastic lumbar support can help as well as a tens unit. About 30% choose surgery with an 85% success rate.
