When dealing with spondylolisthesis treatment in Navi Mumbai, choosing a centre that offers both expertise and personalized care makes all the difference. At Synapse Spine, patients have access to top spine surgeons, advanced diagnostics, and treatment approaches that cover both non-surgical and surgical needs. Whether you have mild pain or nerve compression, Synapse Spine ensures you get the right plan to restore function, reduce pain, and improve quality of life.

What is Spondylolisthesis and How It Affects You

***Spondylolisthesis*** occurs when one vertebra slips forward over the one below it. In many people, this leads to chronic lower back pain, stiffness, radiating pain in the legs, tingling or numbness, muscle weakness, or even difficulties walking.

Causes can include congenital spinal defects, degenerative changes (age, arthritis), traumatic injuries, or stress fractures. Sports, occupational hazards, or heavy lifting can exacerbate the condition.

Early diagnosis is key. At Synapse Spine, diagnosis includes physical examination, X-rays, MRI scans to view soft tissue and nerve involvement, sometimes CT for bone detail, and even dynamic or flexion-extension X-rays to assess spinal stability.

Non-Surgical Treatment Options at Synapse Spine

When the slippage is mild or symptoms are manageable, Synapse Spine offers several non-surgical options as first line treatments for spondylolisthesis treatment in Navi Mumbai:

• Physiotherapy & Exercise Regimens – Strengthening core muscles, improving flexibility, posture correction to reduce stress on vertebrae.
• Medication – NSAIDs, muscle relaxants, analgesics to manage pain & inflammation.
• Activity Modification – Avoiding heavy lifting, high impact sports; adopting daily movement patterns that minimise strain.
• Spinal Injections – Epidural steroid injections to reduce inflammation and relieve nerve compression symptoms.
• Bracing – Using support braces, especially in younger patients, to stabilize spinal segments while other treatments work.

These methods can often delay or fully prevent the need for surgery, provided the condition is caught early and patient compliance is good.

When Surgery Becomes Necessary

For more advanced spondylolisthesis, or when non-surgical treatments fail, surgery may be recommended. Synapse Spine provides modern surgical interventions. Key surgical options include:

• Spinal Fusion – Fusing adjacent vertebrae to eliminate motion at the slipped segment, providing stability.
• Decompression Surgeries – Laminectomy, foraminotomy to relieve pressure on spinal nerves caused by the shifted vertebra.
• Interbody Fusion Techniques – TLIF (Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion), ALIF (Anterior), PLIF (Posterior) depending on location and severity.
• Pedicle Screw Fixation – To provide strong anchorage and stabilization in cases of slippage.
