Abstract

In this retrospective medical records pilot study, a cohort of patients (5F/2M), who were diagnosed with degenerative spondylolisthesis underwent a novel sound-based focal pulsed stimulation over a period of three months. Clinical outcomes included pain intensity and functional disability due to back pain improved from pre- to post-treatment. Clinical outcomes such as shoulder/pelvic tilt, leg length difference, and range of motion are discussed.
