Greetings. The condition which you mentioned normally is a structural problem. Depending upon the severity of the disease it can be manageable. For mild listhesis, conservative management in the form of pain killer, physio are advised and patient is asked to do routine follow up to check any further progression of disease. For severe listhesis, surgery is best option on a long term basis.

With physiotherapy, particularly exercises, you can strengthen the back muscles. That will help in reducing the load to l5-s1 region, which will have some effect in reducing the lower back pain. But the disease will remain as it is a mechanical problem which will not be reduced with medicines or exercises.
