A while back we posted a blog titled Spondylolisthesis Survey.  If you have yet to read this post, please do so by clicking on the blue link.

The goal of this post was to create some interaction between readers and to get an idea of our blogs demographics.

So far we have had more participation than we expected and we greatly appreciate it.  At the time of this post we had 99 total votes.

All 99 have helped us get a better idea of our audience.

The following are some of the results (the results were accurate at the time of this post, the results will change as more people participate).

When asked "how often do you have pain?" 

42% said "off and on throughout the week" and 42% said "daily".

For those experiencing pain daily make sure to get a screen by a medical professional to help determine the root of your pain. It could be something as simple as a few tight or overworked muscles or it could be a weakness. You will never know until you get looked at.

For those of you who are having pain off and on, make sure to keep a journal that tracks your daily activities. This will help determine if there is a certain activity that might be causing your flare ups. Keeping a journal is a great way of targeting certain movements that might be affecting your spondy. You can then correct or eliminate them to reduce flare ups.


When asked "which condition do you have?"

28% said "grade 1 spondylolisthesis", 33% said "grade 2 spondylolisthesis" and suprisingly, 28% "did not know."

The good news is grade 1 and grade 2 spondy's have been scientifically studied and the results have shown that therapy and non-surgical options can reduce pain. 

The bad news is if you are unsure about your exact condition it is nearly impossible to correct what is not known.

If you have yet to have a screen or get diagnosed, check out this article for more information.


When asked "On a pain scale of 1-5, what is your average pain?" (5 being most painful).
 
40% said their pain was at a 2.

45% said their pain was at a 3.

Managing and controlling pain are very important to a successful recovery.  Before you can get better, you need to control the pain.  Check out this article for tips on how to do so.


When asked "which do you feel helps the pain the most?"

35% said "stretching and exercise."

30% said "they tried everything and nothing works."

For those who have had success with stretching and exercise, keep at it! 

Stay consisent, experiement with additional exercises and make sure to get coaching or therapy from certified individuals.  Our home program SpondySolution, helps you do just that.

If you feel like you have tried everything, I can tell you this. Don't give up!

Every program is different and every therapy session can be unique in its own way. Keep searching to find the program that suits you the best. This article can provide some insight.


Last, but not least, 76% of those who participated in our survey are females.

This is not a suprise as studies have shown that females are more susceptible to this condition. You can read more about that here.

This survey opened up some great questions. Click on the link HERE to read about those who asked a few questions. You can also add your own comments at any time.

Hopefully the additional links provided above will offer some additional help.

Best of luck with your rehabilitation and remember, stay positive!

Thanks for participating!
