Vertebra Sacral

The sacral vertebra is the fifth lumbar vertebra in the human spine. It has the shape of a triangle and is responsible for the stability of the body. This vertebra is an important element of the spinal column and is located between the lumbar and coccygeal spine.

The cruciate vertebra was formed by combining the first two vertebrae of the ilium. This resulted in the formation of a “hollow” at each end of the sacrum. Thanks to this device, during bending of the back, the rigidity of the sacral tube is increased in order to ensure the safety of the body, as well as alleviate the pressure created by the person's weight. Because the sacrum is the supporting spine, it often suffers from injuries, including sports injuries, which may have permanent healing or weakness for the rest of life. It is this weakness that occurs along the entire length of the sacral spine - “sacral vertebrae weakness.” Most often, sports injuries to the sacral spinal cord occur from constant and frequent impact loads, or from single exposure to extreme loads. Sports or traumatic injuries to the sacral spine can lead to intervertebral diseases of the sacral unit. Functional disorders of the spine are constantly getting worse and slowly progressing, but may not appear at all for a long time. At the same time, symptoms of progressive damage to the sacrolumbar region may increase gradually with loss of ability to work. An integrated approach and medical supervision will help patients avoid many complications. If you suffer from diseases of the sacro-lumbar region, consult a specialist for advice.
