Well, I have good news for you - something like 75-80% of the population has a hip that goes forward or backward out of alignment, so you are in good company. And there are dozens, if not hundreds, of stretches and exercises that can encourage it to stay where it belongs - the chiro adjustment is only temporary unless you do those.

The other thing to know is that surgeons seldom will operate for spondylolysis, so your docs are in good company (https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/10303-spondylolysis). But there are conservative measures that work. And as many as half of spinal surgery patients still have back pain afterward, so it is not necessarily a cure-all. (For the record, I have spinal arthritis and stenosis instead of spondylolysis, but the pain is the same.)

I stand with my earlier recommendation - rehabilitative PT - the kind done one-on-one for complex, traumatic or difficult to resolve issues. The good news is, it will work to reduce or eliminate pain. The "bad news" is, there is no magic involved just some hard work by you - every day until you are better, then several times a week of maintenance exercise and stretching for the rest of your life.

Are you ready to take control?
