Degenerative spondylolisthesis is a consequence of the natural aging process that occurs in our spine as we grow older, causing the bones, joints, and ligaments to become weak and lose the ability to hold the spinal column together. The disease generally occurs at one of two levels of the lumbar spine, which is in the lower back.
This condition is more common in individuals over the age of 50, and is even more common in those over the age of 65. Additionally, degenerative spondylolisthesis is 3x more common in females than in males.*

To complete diagnosis, imagine tests such as an X-ray or an MRI scan will be conducted to either confirm the diagnosis and/or rule out any other causes.
