lower back region lumbarisation
Lumbarisation of S1 which has become L6
lumbarisation
i have an extra disk L6 what is this condition called?
Normal is five vertebrae and five lumbar discs. Six is called a lumbarisation, four a sacralisation.
They often have an associated pseudo joint - that is where the trouble starts.
In my experience they can be very troublesome. Disciplined back exercises from C-H EVERY monrning BEFORE getting out of bed is half the solution.
