A condition that causes structural changes in the bone of the spine
Lumbarisation and sacralisation may or may not cause back pain and some patients do not have any symptoms at all. Bertolotti's syndrome is lumbarisation and sacralisation that results in a sciatic type of pain in the lower back. Other symptoms of lumbarisation and sacralisation include:
Lumbarisation and sacralisation are congenital conditions. However, there are certain activities that will increase the severity of the back pain associated with this condition. People with lumbarisation or sacralisation are more likely to experience back pain due to:
Recent studies show a drastic increase in the number of unnecessary back surgeries, despite evidence that these procedures have similar results as nonsurgical or "conservative" options but with an increased risk of side effects and complications. It is estimated that only 1% of all back pain cases will ever need surgery. Studies prove that non-invasive treatments for lumbarisation and sacralisation are very effective in managing the symptoms of this condition.
Lumbarisation and sacralisation are often put under the umbrella term lumbosacral transition vertebra (LSTV). This is the most common birth defect of the lumbosacral spine. People with this condition often suffer from low back pain that can become severe if the condition is left untreated.
Most doctors prescribe strong painkillers including opioids to manage lumbarisation and sacralisation pain. However, these drugs are linked to organ damage and often result in physical dependence and addiction. QI provides safe non-pharmacological methods of pain management for low back pain including Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM). FSM is a technologically-advanced method of pain management that uses a low-level electric current to promote tissue repair and eliminate lumbarisation or sacralisation back pain.
Treatment protocols for lumbarisation and sacralisation focus on strengthening and maintaining pelvic floor muscles in order to increase mobility and flexibility. QI customises every treatment protocol depending on the needs of the patient. These protocols are derived from an algorithm based on over 47,000 past cases and ensures that every patient with lumbarisation and sacralisation receives treatment that is best suited to his/her needs. This unique system focuses on evidence-based methods to reduce pain and prevent recurrence.
Ignoring lumbarisation or sacralisation back pain can lead to poor posture, weakened muscles, and serious back problems. Visit a spine specialist for a definite diagnosis and treatment plan.
