Lumbar spondylolisthesis of less than II degree can be treated by braking and resting, wearing a brace, physical therapy, functional exercises or medication, while severe cases need surgery.
1. Braking and resting: For lumbar spondylolisthesis of I or II degree, the symptoms of lower back pain are usually the main symptoms, and the symptoms will be relieved after braking and resting for a period of time.
2. Wearing a brace: Wearing a lumbar brace is effective for mild lumbar spondylolisthesis, which can reduce the irritation of the slipped vertebrae on the nerves.
3. Physical therapy: When lumbar spondylolisthesis causes significant acute or chronic pain symptoms, physical therapy such as lumbar back heat therapy or magnetic therapy can be performed to relieve pain symptoms.
4. Functional exercise: a certain degree of lumbar back muscle functional exercise, such as small swallow fly action, can be carried out to enhance the stability of the vertebral body muscle group training.
5. Medication: Medication is based on oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as acetaminophen and celecoxib, etc., mainly to control pain symptoms.
6. Surgical treatment: Surgical treatment is based on decompression, internal fixation, and further vertebral body fusion if combined with severe disc herniation.
