Spondylolisthesis, a condition where one vertebra slips forward over the one below it, often causes significant back pain and mobility issues among adults in Los Angeles. At the Stem Cell & PRP Institute of L.A., Dr. Padra Gad Nourparvar brings his board certification, advanced procedural expertise, and specialized training in regenerative medicine to provide personalized, non-surgical treatment options in Beverly Hills. Patients from Los Angeles neighborhoods including West Hollywood, Brentwood, and Santa Monica trust Dr. Nourparvar’s innovative PRP and stem cell therapies to safely relieve symptoms and improve spinal stability.
I had horrible problems with my L5/S1 lower back and found the PRO institute. I promised I would write a follow up review. I’m actually a little freaked out because I’m about 80-90% back to normal. I love doing spin, yoga, Pilates and I feel like I’m back without post workout pain. I’m still careful but I’m literally amazed that I rarely have pain.
What is Spondylolisthesis?
Spondylolisthesis occurs when a vertebra slips forward relative to the adjacent vertebra, potentially compressing nerves and causing:
- Lower back pain and stiffness
- Sciatica or radiating leg pain
- Muscle tightness and weakness
- Difficulty walking or standing for long periods
The condition can be caused by congenital defects, degenerative changes, trauma, or repetitive stress, and may worsen without appropriate intervention.

Regenerative Treatment Options for Spondylolisthesis
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP therapy utilizes your own blood’s growth factors to decrease inflammation and stimulate healing of spinal tissues affected by vertebral slippage.
Autologous Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cells sourced from bone marrow or adipose tissue promote regeneration of damaged ligaments and discs, improving spinal stability and nerve function.
Both procedures are outpatient treatments delivered with precision imaging to maximize effectiveness and patient comfort.
