Would Visiting A Pain Clinic Offering Chiropractic Treatment Be Effective For Spondylolisthesis?
I have recently been diagnosed with spondylolisthesis of the L4 L5 vertebrae. I have deep pain in both buttocks and pain going down my right leg. I have been referred for physical therapy but I am wondering if it would be more effective to go to a pain clinic with the option of chiropractic treatment? I developed severe symptoms after a hard fall backwards onto a concrete walkway landing on the lower back on the left side of my spine but the doctor is saying this condition is usually the result of degenerative joints. I am 63 in good health and had been quite active before this accident.
