Conservative Management of Spondylolisthesis:
A Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization Approach to Lumbar Instability
Management of Spondylolisthesis can be very challenging and often leads to relapse and frustration. Because the correct imaging is not usually performed, the athletes are often misdiagnosed and recovery time is greatly increased. The principles of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization offer an explanation for why this injury occurs and also the treatment strategies to help get the athletes back on the field in a timely manner. Historically, this injury can be career threatening. However, if the correct diagnosis is made and treatment is implemented, the athlete can expect to back on the field in about 6 -8 weeks.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn how to accurately diagnose spondylolisthesis
- Understand what the clinical picture looks like and associated clinical prediction rules
- Learn how to properly order imaging for this condition
- Describe what are the causative factors and how to prevent it from reoccurring
- Learn how to use the principles of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization to rehabilitate these athletes
