If you have tried all other recommended treatments for spondylolisthesis, laser surgery may be a better alternative to extremely invasive back surgery. But, as always, back surgery is very risky, and should always be a last resort. And, recovery times for back surgery are very long. Not to mention that they don't always fix the problems.

Ive looked Spondylolisthesis up and Laser surgery does not seem to be a treatment option for spondylolisthesis. The Normal Treatment is medication and Pt. Or Surgery to Fuse the Vertabrae after 6 months of therapy have failed.

Laser surgery is a very effective treatment for spondylolithesis. It is a minimally invasive surgery, an alternative to traditional open back surger. The pain is less and recovery is faster.
