How To Relieve Spondylolisthesis

Take Anti-Inflammatory Medication As Directed

Medication can help reduce pain, muscle spasms, and inflammation in the spine. However, it is important not to take more of the medication than prescribed. This is especially important if the doctor is prescribing opioids, as it is easy to become addicted to this kind of medication and need more and more of the medication to relieve the pain. Furthermore, it can lead to devastating consequences, including overdose.

Making sure to communicate with their doctor is important for patients. If the amount prescribed is not helping, they should let their doctor know so they can try something else. Taking more of the same medication will not help. Patients may need other interventions, maybe even surgery, to help with spondylolisthesis.
