Many people are quite familiar with the condition “slipped disc,” which is the popular label used to refer to a herniation (bulge) or tear in the cartilage cushions between vertebrae. However, most individuals may not be so well acquainted with the term “spondylolisthesis,” which is the slippage of one vertebra forward over the bone before it. This slippage, which most often occurs in the lower spine (the lumbosacral area), usually results in pinched nerves and consequent pain as well as numbness and/or weakness in one or both legs. Needless to say, vertebral slippage of this sort lends itself to chiropractic treatment, the primary goal of which is to get misaligned spinal bones back into their proper alignment.
