Spondylolisthesis Treatment

Spondylolisthesis occurs when one of the vertebrae in the spine shifts out of alignment, often leading to pain, nerve compression, and decreased mobility. At Saint Mary’s Brain and Spine Surgery, our specialists provide comprehensive care for this condition, offering both conservative and surgical treatment options based on the severity of the case and the patient’s unique needs.

For mild to moderate cases, our first approach is typically non-surgical treatment. This includes physical therapy to strengthen and stabilize the spine, along with anti-inflammatory medications and muscle relaxants to manage pain and reduce inflammation. In cases of more persistent pain, epidural steroid injections can offer targeted relief by reducing nerve irritation. Our goal is to help patients achieve improved function and comfort without the need for surgery whenever possible.

Advanced Spondylolisthesis Surgery

Dr. Rajamand is highly experienced in performing truly minimally invasive neurosurgical techniques designed to reduce risks and enhance recovery for his patients. By using smaller incisions, he minimizes damage to surrounding tissues, which promotes faster healing. For patients with spondylolisthesis, Dr. Rajamand often recommends spinal decompression and fusion procedures to restore spinal function and stability.

Decompression surgery involves removing damaged discs or bone fragments to create more space within the spinal canal, alleviating pressure on compressed nerves. In cases where additional stability is needed, spinal fusion is performed to join adjacent vertebrae, allowing them to heal into a single solid structure that strengthens the spine.

Dr. Rajamand and his dedicated team at Saint Mary’s Brain and Spine in Reno are committed to diagnosing and treating spondylolisthesis with precision and care, helping patients return to normal activities as quickly and safely as possible.
