What is a displacement of the cervical vertebrae?
At shift of cervical vertebrae (spondylolisthesis) change of position of one vertebra concerning others is observed. This condition may be accompanied by a painful symptom. In some cases, the displacement of the cervical vertebrae develops without any pain or discomfort.
There are ventrolistez (displacement forward) and retrolistez (displacement back). Such pathologies lead to sleep disorders, headaches, runny nose, neck and ear pain. The patient may have chronic fatigue, memory impairment. Patients often complain of tingling and pain in the extremities. Due to the displacement of the vertebral artery, patients often develop vegetative-vascular dystonia, accompanied by lability of blood pressure, tinnitus.
