L4–L5 Listhesis: Understanding Your Spine Condition A diagnosis of L4–L5 listhesis raises a key question: Does it always require surgery? The answer depends on vertebral slippage, spinal stability, nerve compression, and your symptoms. Dr. Vishnu Nair, Consultant Orthopaedic & Spine Surgeon, specializes in evaluating lumbar conditions like listhesis, slipped discs, sciatica, and spinal stenosis. Common Symptoms Include: Persistent lower back pain or stiffness Radiating pain to the buttock or leg Numbness, tingling, or leg weakness Difficulty walking or standing long Treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Management often ranges from targeted physiotherapy and medication to advanced minimally invasive options. When significant instability persists despite conservative care, lumbar fusion may be considered. Dr. Nair focuses on matching treatments to your unique clinical needs rather than imaging reports alone. If you are experiencing persistent back pain, numbness, or a confirmed listhesis diagnosis, get a specialist evaluation for a personalized recovery plan. 📍 Consultation: NAIR Spine & Knee Clinic, Kharghar - Navi Mumbai Specialist evaluation.
