The influence of scoliosis and spondylolisthesis on lower back pain
Speaker
Session Date:
The disc and facet joint are the two major sources of lower back pain. Both scoliosis and spondylolisthesis change the biomechanics of loading of the disc and facet joint increasing the risk of lower back pain. Both conditions can also be silent for many decades before symptoms arise. The talk will outline the prevalence, natural history and conservative management of these conditions.
