Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which one vertebra slips forward over the one below it. It sounds alarming, but the reality is this: the great majority of slips are low-grade and managed **without surgery**. What decides things is not the millimetres of slip on the film but the person's pain and function — some people with a marked slip have few symptoms, while others with a mild slip struggle. In Bursa Nilüfer, Fzt. Bilal Kara focuses not on putting the vertebra 'back in place' but on strengthening the muscles around it and raising the back's capacity to carry load.
Fzt. Bilal Kara provides one-to-one care for spondylolisthesis at the clinic in Bursa Nilüfer — in Fethiye Mahallesi, on Kelebek Sokak, at a central point of Nilüfer, opposite the Fethiye covered market.
It is a short trip by car or public transport from İhsaniye, Odunluk, Balat, Özlüce, Ataevler, 23 Nisan and the surrounding areas. Every session is one-to-one, assessment-based and tailored to you.
In spondylolisthesis, the real issue isn't the slip itself but the instability of that area and the inadequacy of the surrounding muscles. When the trunk stabilisers and hip chain strengthen, the spine works with more control in every movement; that's the way to stay pain-free and active despite the slip.
Fzt. Bilal Kara does graded loading from a starting level measured in the gym. Movements that bend the back excessively backward are limited at first; volume and movement variety are opened up as core control and hip strength reach a certain level. The criterion isn't being pain-free, it's staying pain-free under load.

Fzt. Bilal Kara · Bursa Nilüfer. Share your complaint; we plan the process together after the assessment.
Usually yes; the programme is built by limiting movements that bend the back excessively backward and prioritising core/hip strength.
The slip itself usually doesn't change with exercise; the goal is reducing pain and increasing function by strengthening the surrounding muscles.
Movements that bend the back excessively backward are limited at the start; this is gradually reassessed as strength increases.
For back pain that persists without a clear imaging finding: a programme that looks for the source.
An exercise-based, one-to-one physiotherapy programme for back pain and pain radiating into the leg.
For pain travelling from the back into the hip and leg: assessment that identifies the source, then graded exercise.

"Which doctor should I see for a herniated disc?" is one of the most common questions. The answer isn't a single department; it depends on the clinical picture.

A hernia showing up on an MRI doesn't mean surgery is needed. The large majority of herniated discs improve without surgery.

Most back pain isn't due to a serious disease — it's due to loading and posture. The good news: it eases with the right approach.
