Spondylolisthesis natural plant-based treatment
Spondylolisthesis is a painful condition that can cause significant discomfort and mobility issues that severely impact daily life, making it challenging to manage effectively. While many are prescribed painkillers and physiotherapy on the NHS to help manage spondylolisthesis symptoms, natural alternatives have emerged as a promising new and adjunctive treatment option at private healthcare clinics in the UK like Releaf.

A word from our specialist
“Many conditions that lead to chronic pain often respond poorly to conventional pharmaceutical medications. More and more is being understood about how the endocannabinoid system interacts with the more well known pain pathways to work synergistically with these conventional medications. Chronic pain comes with a variety of associated symptoms such as poor sleep, fatigue, brain fog and reduced appetite – all of which treatment with medical cannabis can improve.“

Am I eligible?Can spondylolisthesis be managed using natural products?
There are six main types of spondylolisthesis including degenerative spondylolisthesis, isthmic spondylolisthesis, congenital spondylolisthesis, traumatic spondylolisthesis, pathological spondylolisthesis and postsurgical spondylolisthesis - each of which presents its own unique set of challenges. But, every type of spondylolisthesis causes pain, which often then poorly impacts sleep, mood, and quality of life.
For those living with spondylolisthesis, if traditional treatments have been unable to meet your needs and manage your symptoms, you may be considered eligible for a bespoke, alternative natural spondylolisthesis treatment plan at Releaf.
This is because plant-based treatments have shown to interact with the way our brains perceive and respond to pain signals, and have shown particularly promising results for those who have experienced unpleasant, or debilitating side effects from traditional treatments like opioid-based painkillers.
In addition to their positive influence on pain perception, these natural alternatives have also shown to improve sleep quality, as well as anxiety or depression, which can have a positive effect on overall quality of life - making it particularly promising for those with spondylolisthesis.
Releaf’s alternative care treatment plans are tailored to each individual, taking their symptoms, lifestyle, and budget into account. To find out if you could be eligible for these options, or to discover more about the alternative treatments on offer at Releaf, enquire today.
