My wife was diagnosed with sacralization of L5-S1 in her lumbosacral spine X-ray. Her back pain isnt frequent, but when it happens, it becomes really acute and unbearable. Whats the best way to manage this condition?
For your wife's sacralization of L5-S1, consider conservative management with physical therapy, yoga, or Pilates to strengthen core muscles, improve flexibility, and reduce pain; pain management with medications like NSAIDs or muscle relaxants as needed; and lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a healthy weight, improving posture, and avoiding heavy lifting or bending; if symptoms persist or worsen, consult an orthopedic specialist or spine surgeon to discuss potential surgical options.
