8. Conservative Treatment

Experts opt for more conservative treatment options for most people with anterolisthesis, and such therapies are effective in the majority of cases. This consists primarily of physical therapy that includes spinal flexion and extension exercises. Physical therapists may also focus on exercises to strengthen the core muscles. Some patients benefit from bracing along with physical therapy. Anti-inflammatory medications can help initially, though more powerful options may be necessary if the pain continues.
