Spondylolisthesis occurs when a vertebra slips over the one below, while spondylolysis involves a stress fracture in the vertebral arch. Common among those with genetic predispositions or engaged in high-impact sports, these conditions can coexist, where untreated spondylolysis may lead to spondylolisthesis. Early symptoms include back pain and tight hamstrings, with diagnosis confirmed through imaging tests. Effective management includes rest, physiotherapy, and lifestyle adjustments, emphasizing core strengthening and proper posture to prevent further complications. While conservative treatments usually suffice, surgery may be required in severe cases. Early intervention and patient education on preventive measures are crucial for maintaining spinal health and avoiding recurrence, ensuring a better quality of life.
