Mild 3mm retrolisthesis of L5 S1 refers to a condition where the L5 vertebra has shifted slightly backward (3 millimeters) in relation to the S1 vertebra in the lumbar spine. This misalignment can lead to discomfort, pain, or nerve compression in some cases, but it is often asymptomatic. It is typically assessed through imaging studies, such as X-rays or MRI. Treatment may involve physical therapy, pain management, or, in more severe cases, surgical intervention.
The lowest lumbar vertebra has slid backwards by 3mm compared to the backbone below it, causing a change in the appearance of the disk between them.

Superimposed mild levoscoliotic curvature of L5-S1 refers to a slight sideways curvature of the lumbar spine, specifically at the L5-S1 vertebral junction, where the fifth lumbar vertebra meets the first sacral vertebra. "Levoscoliotic" indicates that the curvature bends to the left. This condition can be associated with various factors, including muscular imbalances or structural anomalies, and may or may not cause symptoms depending on its severity. Regular monitoring and appropriate management, such as physical therapy, may be recommended.
