Can lumbar spondylolisthesis heal itself?

  There are many causes of lumbar spine slippage, specifically the following: 1, congenital: lumbar spine slippage in development; 2, caused by trauma: such as bump or serious impact, local fracture and cause lumbar spine slippage; 3, pathological: such as tumor or tuberculosis erosion to the bone structure and produce slippage; 4, medical: is in the lumbar spine surgery in the lumbar spine slippage.  Regardless of the cause of the lumbar spine slippage, treatment should relieve the patient’s symptoms. This condition is difficult to restore the sequence through drugs, usually through surgery, and surgical treatment is also determined by the situation. When symptoms of lower extremity pain, claudication, or even nerve damage occur, prompt surgical treatment is required, but most patients have milder symptoms and generally take conservative treatment.  Occasionally, we encounter more unusual patients in the clinic, where the lumbar spine slipped particularly severely, but more bone spurs grew around the slipped vertebrae, thus making the lumbar spine reach a self-stabilized state and clinical symptoms appear to be reduced. However, this is a more unusual and rare case. If treated conservatively, it is generally recommended to strengthen the muscles of the lumbar back, because the main function of the lumbar spine is to play a supporting role, and when the surrounding muscles are very strong and developed, they can reduce the pressure on the lumbar spine and thus relieve the clinical symptoms.
