Dear Jen, Many people suffer from spondylolisthesis. They range from grade 1-4 with 4 being the worst. i have seen very symptomatic grade 1 and asymptomatic grade 3. Many times the spondylo does not play a factor but is an incidental finding. Now this may not be true in your case but i would need more information in regards to your history. My opinion is you should consult with your physician and see if there are alternatives. As a chiropractor i have treated many spondylo's and have had great success. Good luck, Dr. Sambursky
