This condition occurs when a vertebra becomes misplaced and rests on the bone below it. If the slippage is caused by a stress fracture, spondylolysis can progress to spondylolisthesis. A degenerative disease, on the other hand, could lead the vertebra to shift out of place. Facet joints and discs between vertebrae might wear out. The bone in the facet joints regrows and overgrows, resulting in an uneven and unstable surface that impairs the vertebrae's capacity to hold its position. Whatever the cause, when a vertebra slips out of place, the bone beneath it is put under stress. Asymptomatic spondylolisthesis is common. Compression or "pinching" of the nerve roots exiting the spinal cord
