I have a mild spondylolisthesis. what kind of treatments should i consider other than spinal fusion?

Spondylolithesis : Core strengthening is the main treatment to prevent spinal fusion. Pain clinic ablations and steroid injections can be used for a few treatments, but will not work if multiple interventions are required.

Spondylolisthesis: You have had this likely since age 6-8 years old. That is when this problem seems to surface. Most commonly, this is an incidental finding present in 5-6% of the asymptomatic population. Make sure you have tried pt (mckenzie, avoid hyperextension), nsaid's, and nerve root or pars injections. Activity modifications until symptoms resolve may also be necessary. If all else fails, fusion.
