'severe spondylolisthesis'

Dr Shailesh Hadgoankar and his support team are well qualified to offer surgical treatment for the whole spine extending from the neck to the lower lumbar spine which includes the management of degenerative disorders in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine (disc herniation, spinal stenosis, myelopathy, spondylolisthesis), fractures and dislocations at all levels of the spine, Spinal deformity (scoliosis and kyphosis) and infections in the spine.

Spondylolisthesis risk factors include sports that put stress on the bones in the lower back, such as gymnastics and football. Genetics may also put some people at increased risk. If the vertebra slips too far, it may press on nerves and cause severe back pain or nerve crowding that produces leg pain or numbness. Initial treatment may include rest and medication. Severe spondylolisthesis may require surgery.
