Spondylolisthesis Pain

Spondylolisthesis pain is a rare problem associated with this relatively common spinal condition. Spondylolisthesis is a condition that can be congenital or developed during life through degenerative changes or injury. It is not normally a painful condition and treatment is usually not necessary.

Spondylolisthesis Pain Nocebo

Many patients live for years or even decades with a spondylolisthesis condition without even knowing that it exists. The condition does not usually demonstrate any signs or deformities that can be detected without some form of imaging study of the lower spine. Often, the condition is discovered during an imaging test done for a completely unrelated reason. The patient discovers that one of their vertebrae is out of alignment and sees a doctor. This doctor often scares the patient into believing that this condition will cause them pain or potential disability. This diagnostic nocebo effect can be strong enough to begin the start of a pain syndrome when no symptoms existed in the past.

Psychosomatic Spondylolisthesis Pain

The majority of all back pain is caused by a psychological process. Affected patients are often characterized as having treatment resistant pain which is blamed on some coincidental scapegoat condition. Spondylolisthesis is one of those common spinal abnormalities that are diagnosed as being the cause of pain, when the actual causative process is psychological. It is no surprise that treatment for these patients is usually a dismal failure and the patient in left with an ever increasing symptom imperative and sense of dread.

Recommendation on Spondylolisthesis Pain

If you have been diagnosed with a spondylolisthesis related pain syndrome and have not found relief through the recommended treatments, consider the possibility that your pain has been misdiagnosed. Sure, you have spondylolisthesis, but that condition might not be the source of your pain. Statistics demonstrate that it rarely is the actual cause of pain in millions of diagnosed patients worldwide. My strong recommendation is learning more about knowledge therapy and using that knowledge to help you come to terms with the real reasons for your suffering. Only then will you be on the right road to a successful cure.
