"Sacral" refers to the sacrum, which is a triangular bone at the base of the spine. It is located between the fifth segment of the lumbar spine (L5) and the coccyx (tailbone). The sacrum is made up of five fused vertebrae and forms the back portion of the pelvis. It plays a crucial role in supporting the weight of the upper body and transferring it to the hips and legs. The sacral region is also important in terms of the nervous system, as it contains the sacral spinal nerves, which control various functions in the lower part of the body.
