Retrolisthesis Exercises for Stronger Core

Retrolisthesis is an uncommon joint dysfunction that occurs when a single vertebra in the back slips backward along or underneath a disc. In this video I show you the cause of Retrolisthesis, different grades and types of Retrolisthesis. In addition, I shared with you a rehab program to follow to strengthen your core gradually.

Research supports strengthening exercises for core and lower back if you suffer from Retrolisthesis. Having said that, staying active and maintaining your overall strength would be the best long term lifestyle modification.

Retrolisthesis is the opposite of spondylolisthesis, which occurs when a vertebra slips forward. Retrolisthesis occurs in the neck and shoulder area, known as the cervical spine, or the lower back, known as the lumbar spine.

There are three types of retrolisthesis:

- Complete retrolisthesis occurs when one vertebra moves backward in relation to the one above and below it.
- Partial retrolisthesis involves one vertebra moving backward toward either the one above or below it.
- Staircase retrolisthesis happens when one vertebra moves backward from the ones above it and ahead of the ones below it.

Cause of Retrolisthesis:
Retrolisthesis happens when the space between the vertebrae decreases. Sometimes this happens if the discs between the vertebrae shrink. Scientists are not entirely sure what makes the discs and space between the vertebrae decrease.

Risk factors of Retrolisthesis:
- degenerative spinal problems
- congenital disabilities
- injuries to or near the spine (accident)
- weak abdominal muscles and muscles around the spine (weak core)
- blood or bone infections
- nutritional deficiencies

Symptoms of Retrolisthesis:
Symptoms of retrolisthesis vary from person to person and range from mild to severe. Symptoms may include any combination of the following:

- Lower back pain
- discomfort in one specific area of the back
- limited range of motion
- pain in the area of dislocation
- sharp pinching pain
- a bulge in the spine
