Treatment Options for Spondylolisthesis

The Role of Alternative Medicine for Spondylolisthesis

Complementary therapies, such as TENS, acupuncture, chiropractic, or osteopathic manipulation may help to provide some relief of pain but cannot resolve the underlying defect associated with the spondylolisthesis. There are no studies to prove the efficacy or safety of most alternative therapies. It is important to notify your health care provider if you are using any alternative therapies, no matter how insignificant or benign they may seem.
