🧬 New research shows a clear link between higher body weight and an increased risk of lumbar spondylolisthesis, a condition in which a lower back bone shifts out of place.

Using genetic data from thousands of people, the study found that a higher body mass index (i.e., overweight or obese) makes it more likely for someone to develop this spine condition.

The takeaway is simple. Maintaining a healthy weight may help protect your spine and lower the risk of severe back problems.

If back pain is slowing you down, we can help you take steps toward better movement and long-term spine health.
