Answers:
Well, spondylosis and spondylisthesis are two different things!. Spondylosis basically means arthritis of the spine, spondylisthesis means the vertebra is shifted forward!. You can have both occurring at the same time!.
If you have just spondylosis, there are conservative methods to help restore your bulging discs and correct the alignment of your spine!. Either a physical therapist trained in McKenzie method or a chiropractor trained in Gonstead method!.

If you have spondylisthesis, you'll have to consult with your doctor to see what options you have!. Both PT and chiropractic won't help you with spondylisthesis!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
