In addition to the standard of care treatment at Houston Methodist for spondylolysis (provision of a back brace and prescribed physical therapy regimen), participants assigned to this group will be provided a bone stimulator wherein they will be asked to wear their device for a minimum of 30 minutes a day for 12 weeks with no maximum usage time. The device will track compliance, and will be worn when at rest.

Participants assigned to this group will undergo the standard of care treatment for spondylosis which is physical therapy and the usage of a back brace.

Subjects will be asked to wear their device (if applicable) for a minimum of 30 minutes a day for 12 weeks with no maximum usage time. The device will track compliance. Bone stimulator should be worn at rest.

This outcome will be evaluated via REDCap with a Return to Sport Questionnaire, which will ask what sport(s) participant played prior to injury, if they have returned to the sports they played prior to back injury, what level of sports they returned to (recreational, organized, professional), what level of play they have returned to (same as before injury, higher than before injury, or lower than before injury), and if they report that they did not return to sport, what the reason was. This outcome will also be evaluated by the Tegner Activity Level, which will ask participants to rate their highest level of activity they participated in before their injury and at the current moment on a scale of 0 to 10 where 0 is sick leave or disability pension because of spine problems and 10 is competitive sports at the national elite level.

Pain levels will be assessed with the visual analog scale, which asks patients to place a mark on a scale from no pain to worst possible pain level where they think their pain level is best represented.

Attendance at physical therapy will be tracked through EPIC as part of study participation.
