How would i correct my back the l5-s1 has disc desiccation and 2 mm of retrolisthesis of l5 onto s1?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't look at pic: The picture of your back usually does not play a role in your treatment unless you have failed nonop care and have symptoms that warrant surgery and findings on studies consistent with your complaints. All of us develop changes at l5-s1 over time and the dessication with retrolithesis is a normal finding for most as we age not necessarily requiring a "fix.".
