Casey, a centimeter of spondylolisthesis is absolutely significant! In most (perhaps all) clinical studies, "slippage" or instability at this degree means disqualification.

Remember, I am no doc. But still, this is a huge flag of caution. Fusion may be a good thing to re-stabilize that area and take weight and torsion of of ligaments and nerves.
