Offset Vertebrae: If it is being used correctly, this means that two of your vertebrae are out of alignment by 25mm. While this alignment cannot be changed without a surgery, that doesn't necessarily mean that a surgery is the right choice for you. A good spine surgeon can explain the situation to you, as well as your options, and help you make a good decision about what you should do.

Anterolisthesis: Symptomatically, these types of slippage can cause back pain, difficulty walking or standing from compression of the nerve bundle in the spinal canal, as well as leg pain from narrowing of the canals on the sides of the spine that the nerves come out of.
