Your follow-up care will depend on what type of treatment you need and whether you have surgery. Your provider may suggest making lifestyle changes, such as losing weight. Young athletes may need to take new precautions to prevent worsening spondylolisthesis or change sports. But most can return to activities once their symptoms go away.
How often you need to come in for medical visits may vary depending on how severe your condition is. Make sure you keep all appointments. Also, let your providers know if you have any change in symptoms.
