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?
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.
