Prevention of Spondylolysis
Unfortunately, in many cases, spondylolysis can’t be prevented. Luckily, there are ways to reduce your risk of fractures or further slippage of your spine. It’s important to speak to your doctor as soon as you believe you may have injured your back or if you think you might be suffering from spondylolysis.
In addition, doing exercises to help strengthen your back, abdominal, and shoulder muscles is a very important aspect of protecting your spine from injury. By practicing good posture, you can reduce the chance of your vertebrae slipping or prevent extra stress or tension on your lumbar back area.
Try to avoid exercises that might make you more prone to this condition or may harm your back including twisting or bending, high impact activities, and weightlifting. Make sure you are warming up properly if you are going to play such sports and are using the proper equipment or techniques.
