Has your spine alignment changed due to a slipped vertebra? Let’s explore how spondylolisthesis affects spinal stability and movement.

What Is Spondylolisthesis?

Spondylolisthesis refers to the condition where one vertebra slides or shifts to either the anterior, posterior, or sideways direction in relation to the adjacent vertebra. This shifting results in an imbalance in the vertebral alignment and even leads to nerve pressure in some cases.

Types of Spondylolisthesis include:

The severity of the disorder is based on the extent of the slippage and its impact on the neighboring nerves.

He operated on my father for a spinal fracture 10 years ago, and the results were excellent—we’re still very satisfied to this day. Since then, our entire family has trusted him for medical care. He’s knowledgeable, dependable, and committed to his patients’ well-being. Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Words will never be enough to thank Dr. Naveen Tahasildar for what he has done for our daughter and for us as a family.

Our younger daughter, Anna, recently underwent a complex scoliosis correction surgery under Dr. Naveen’s care at Sparsh Hospital, Infantry Road, Bangalore. From the very first consultation to the final post-op visit, Dr. Naveen was not just a surgeon to us - he became a source of calm, strength, and clarity during one of the most emotionally challenging phases of our lives.

In the initial meetings, we were overwhelmed, anxious, and full of doubts. Dr. Naveen met us with patience and complete transparency - breaking down the intricacies of the surgery, giving us time to absorb, and answering every concern with honesty and deep empathy. He never rushed a conversation and always made us feel heard and respected - something rare and incredibly comforting when dealing with such a major health decision for your child.

The day of surgery, as parents, we were understandably scared. But knowing Dr. Naveen was leading the procedure gave us immense confidence. His expertise, professionalism, and steady presence in the operation theatre and beyond reassured us every step of the way. The surgery was long and complex - and thanks to Dr. Naveen and his team, it was a success in every way that mattered.

But what truly sets Dr. Naveen apart is his humanity. Post-surgery, his frequent visits, encouraging words, and genuine care for Anna’s well-being made a huge difference to her recovery - and to us emotionally as caregivers. He wasn’t just treating a spine - he was healing a young girl and supporting her family with remarkable grace.

We will remain forever grateful to Dr. Naveen - not just for being a brilliant surgeon but for being the compassionate, grounded, and incredibly kind person he is.

Thank you, Doctor. You’ve changed our daughter’s life and given her a stronger, straighter future.

With deepest gratitude,
Surabhi & Anup Gore

After that no one caring properly
Doctor don't have his own opd room
As we are checked in PAC room
Doctor doesn't checked anything and asked for us to we will go for operation is the only solution

I strongly don't recommend the doctor worst of all
