What does posterolisthesis?

Posterolisthesis is a type of spinal disorder characterized by the backward slippage of one vertebra over another. This misalignment can lead to nerve compression, resulting in pain, numbness, or weakness in the back and limbs. It is often associated with degenerative changes in the spine, trauma, or congenital abnormalities. Treatment may involve physical therapy, pain management, or, in severe cases, surgery.
