How long does conservative treatment of a 1st degree slip typically take?

Slippage mainly refers to the distance that the spine has slipped. Conservative treatment of 1st degree slippage usually takes 2~3 weeks, and the recovery time will be lengthened if the recovery is poor or there are complications. 1 degree of slippage is not serious, by conservative treatment, most patients can recover, the recovery time is relatively short, about 2~3 weeks can return to normal. However, it is necessary to pay attention to rest during the recovery period and reduce the amount of activity, so as not to aggravate the injury. If the 1st degree slip is not well treated by conservative treatment, there is activity limitation and pain aggravation, then the recovery period may be prolonged. Surgical treatment, such as posterior spinal fusion or decompression and enlargement of the spinal canal, may be required if long-term conservative treatment is ineffective. After a period of conservative treatment for 1st degree spondylolisthesis, if the result is not good, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time, who will adjust the treatment plan appropriately according to the patient’s recovery condition as well as the progress of the disease.
