Devices and methods for spinal stabilization include first and second anchor assemblies (30) engageable to respective ones of first and second vertebrae and a connecting element (40, 40', 140, 142, 144, 146, 240) engageable to the first and second anchor assemblies (30). The connecting element (40, 40', 140, 142, 144, 146, 240) includes opposite first and second members (44, 46, 244, 246) and a dampener (48, 248) between the end members (44, 46, 244, 246) that provides a flexible bumper between the end members (44, 46, 244, 246) to provide dynamic stabilization of the spinal column when engaged to the anchor assemblies (30).
