Spondylolisthesis
Spondylolisthesis occurs when a vertebrae slips out of place, causing a defect in the spinal column. The out of place vertebrae puts stress on the spinal cord and the nerves that branch off of it, causing pain, numbness, and tingling throughout the low back. This pain or numbness can also radiate throughout the lower body. This can occur in children with a spinal birth defect but is more commonly seen in aging adults with arthritic symptoms. The intervertebral discs lose elasticity over time which can also lead to a vertebrae slipping out of place. BioSkin Back Braces are designed to treat Spondylolisthesis through targeted, vectored compression that alleviates pain and reduces pressure placed on the lumbar nerves.
