I'm really worried about my wife. She recently had an X-ray of her lumbosacral spine, and they found she has sacralization of L5S1. Her back pain isnt constant, but when it does flare up, it's really intense and hard for her to handle. What kind of treatment would you recommend for something like this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allShould I consider surgery for this or can it heal with medication? What medicines would you recommend for my condition?
The need for surgery versus medication depends entirely on your specific condition. A doctor needs to diagnose your condition and assess its severity before recommending a treatment plan. Depending on the diagnosis, medications may be sufficient, or surgery might be necessary. Common pain medications include NSAIDs, opioids, and local anesthetics, but these should only be taken under a doctor's supervision.

My mom has a high grade ACL tear and the doctor recommended surgery but we're worried about the risks so we're trying ayurvedic treatment instead. There's a well-known ayurvedic doctor who gives her a lape to apply on and below the knee along with some oil. Can an ACL tear actually heal with ayurveda or is surgery the only real option?
