Spondylolisthesis: The Pain You Feel On Your Back*
*Spondylolisthesis* is a spinal disorder in which a bone (vertebra) slips forward onto the bone below it.

_It is very common as there are more than 1.5 million cases per year (Nigeria)_*
It is often due to a birth defect in that area of the spine or sudden injury (acute trauma) in children. In adults, the most common cause is abnormal wear on the cartilage and bones, such as arthritis. The condition mostly affects people over 50 years old.
*_Generally, spondylolisthesis causes pain_* in your legs when you walk or stand for long period of time... Spondylolisthesis can certainly be an annoyance—sometimes a major one—
*Causes*
*_Spondylolisthesis_* vary based on age, heredity, and lifestyle. Children may suffer from this condition as the result of a birth defect or injury. However, people of all ages are susceptible if the condition runs in the family.
*_The most common symptoms_* in the legs include a feeling of vague weakness associated with prolonged standing or walking. Leg symptoms may be accompanied by numbness, tingling, and/or pain that is often affected by posture.
Rapid growth during adolescence may also be a contributing factor.
Playing sports may also cause your strain to overstretch and put stress on your lower back. The following sports are especially likely to cause this condition:
football
gymnastics
track and field
weightlifting
*_Spondylolysis_* is often a precursor to spondylolisthesis. Spondylolysis occurs when there is a fracture in a vertebra, but it hasn’t yet fallen onto a lower bone in your spine.
*_Spondylolisthesis_* risk factors also include sports that put stress on the bones in the lower back, such as gymnastics and football.
*Symptoms of Spondylolisthesis include:*
Lower back pain
Muscle tightness and stiffness
Pain in the buttocks
Pain radiating down the legs (due to pressure on nerve roots)
*Potential complications*
This condition can cause chronic pain and permanent damage if left untreated. You may eventually experience weakness and leg paralysis if nerves have been damaged.
Infection of the spine may also occur in rare cases.
Kyphosis, also called roundback, is a possible complication in which the upper portion of the spine falls off of the lower half, causing increased forward spinal angulation.
Oxidative stress is the major cause of inflammation that causes pain due to the bone(vertebra) disorder and glutathione has been proven to be a perfect antidote for oxidative stress thereby combating the inflammation and allowing the body to recover from the pain and discomfort.
*Riboceine technology in CELLGEVITY has been scientifically proven to be 300% more effective in raising glutathione level within the cells than the next best alternative.*
CELLGEVITY may be your miracle and answer to healing prayers....
A trial will definitely convince you
