Cause #8: Spondylolisthesis
Spondylolisthesis is a condition where there is displacement of a vertebra compared to another vertebra. Depending on the direction of the displacement, signs and symptoms may include a semi-kyphotic posture, stiff back, tight hamstrings, change in posture, low back pain, sciatic nerve pain, and difficulty with sitting or standing.
Severity can be classified based on the degree of slippage. Treatment for spondylolisthesis includes physical therapy, pain medication, and surgery.
