Spondylolisthesis is a structural change of the spine that, despite common belief, is not always the source of the patient’s symptoms. In this article, we report the case of a woman affected by chronic low back pain and degenerative spondylolisthesis. After informing the patient about the nature of her pain, we proposed a treatment approach based on pain control, improving the active lumbar movement, and neuromuscular control aimed at preventing future relapses.
