The lumbosacral joint is the connection between the last lumbar vertebra, known as L5, and the sacrum, which is the triangular bone at the base of the spine. This joint plays a crucial role in supporting the upper body and allowing movement, such as bending and twisting. It is essential for maintaining balance and stability during various activities. This joint is surrounded by ligaments and muscles that help provide strength and flexibility. The lumbosacral joint is also a common site for pain and discomfort, often due to conditions like herniated discs or sciatica, which can affect mobility and overall quality of life.
