Good Morning!

I am trying to assist my hospital with some physical therapy diagnosis coding. If a patient comes in with chronic low back pain due to lumbar spondylolisthesis do you add the diagnosis code for the lumbar pain since that is the reason for treatment by physical therapy OR the spondylolisthesis since that is the cause of the pain even though they are not specifically treating that?

Thank you!
