10 Causes of Lower Back Pain
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Cause #10: Spondylolisthesis
Spondylolisthesis is a condition that occurs when one of the lumbar vertebrae slips over the bone below it. It causes pain in the upper or lower back. Spondylolisthesis sometimes occurs in children, where it usually affects the fifth lowest bone in the spine and the first bone above the sacrum.
This condition is most often caused by birth defects, but it can also be caused by degenerative conditions in adults.
