Spondylolisthesis is a spinal injury/condition occurring in one bone, a vertebra. The condition occurs when one of the vertebra slips forward. This causes the vertebra to be out of place, and can occur anywhere on the spine. It is most commonly found in the lower, or lumbar part of the back. Spondylolisthesis is commonly found in adults rather than children because of the wear and tear on adults bodies.
There are 2 main types of spondylolisthesis, degenerative and spondylolytic. Degenerative occurs as people age. The older you get, the more wear and tear the body experiences. The intervertebral disks become stiff and bulge which is the beginning of spondylolisthesis. This also may cause arthritis. Both of these conditions weakens both ligaments
