The purple ligament (lat. l. subcruentum) is a structure that plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the spine. It is a ligamentous structure located in the lumbar spine.
The crimson ligament consists of a bundle of threads stretched between individual vertebrae. These threads form a tight ligamentous structure that helps keep the spine in the correct position and prevents it from bending.
Most often, the purple ligament causes pain in the lumbar region. This is due to the fact that when stress is placed on the spine, the ligament can stretch or tear, causing pain. Also, the purple ligament can be subject to inflammatory processes, which also leads to pain and discomfort.
Various methods are used to treat pain associated with ligamentum purpurea injury. One of the most effective is complex therapy, including physical exercise, massage, medications and other methods. Surgery may also be used in cases where the damage to the ligament is too severe.
Overall, the ligamentum versicolor is an important structure that helps maintain the health of the spine. However, if pain occurs in the lumbar region, it is necessary to consult a specialist to determine the cause of the pain and prescribe appropriate treatment.
