Spondylolisthesis
Spondylolisthesis is a condition where a vertebrae (the bone parts of the spine) slips out of place (forward or backward). This change in alignment can cause disc damage and compression of nerves that results in pain, numbness, tingling, and instability of the spine.

Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat painful compression fractures in the spine. It involves inserting a balloon into the fractured vertebra, inflating it to restore height and create space, then injecting bone cement to stabilize the fracture. This procedure aims to alleviate pain, restore vertebral height, and stabilize the fractured bone.
Thie procedure can be safely performed in the physician office with mild sedation under X-ray visualization.
Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure where bone cement is injected into fractured vertebrae to stabilize the spine and relieve pain. It's often used to treat painful compression fractures, especially in those with osteoporosis or related conditions. The procedure typically involves placing a trocar (a type of needle) through the skin and into the affected vertebra, guided by real-time X-ray images. Medical-grade bone cement is then injected, quickly hardening to stabilize the fracture .
