In this episode of Back At It with Dr. Decompression, Dr. JD Dudum dives into a listener's question about spondylolisthesis, how they relate to disc injuries, and how decompression therapy can be safely and effectively adapted for these spinal conditions. He explains what spondylolisthesis is, the difference between anterior and retrololisthesis, and the potential symptoms. Dr. Dudum discusses how these conditions can create instability in the spine and how critical it is to use flexion-extension films to identify segmental instability before starting decompression therapy. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of how decompression therapy can help avoid surgeries like cervical spinal fusions and achieve long-term relief from back and neck pain. Dr. Dudum invites listeners to submit topics for future episodes and reiterates his commitment to sharing patient success stories and educating others on spinal health.
