Who gets spondylolisthesis?

People at high risk of spondylolisthesis are athletes who overextend their spines, or who have constant impacts, such as weightlifters, gymnasts or cricketers. Many cases are due to a birth defect that causes weakness in the spine. In older people, degeneration can cause spondylolisthesis.
