Degenerative disease at the L5-S1 level refers to the wear and tear of the lumbar spine's intervertebral disc and adjacent structures, often leading to disc degeneration, loss of disc height, and potential nerve compression. Endplate sclerosis indicates thickening and hardening of the vertebral endplates, which is a response to stress or degeneration, potentially causing inflammation and pain. This condition can result in symptoms such as lower Back pain, sciatica, or reduced mobility. Treatment may involve physical therapy, pain management, or, in severe cases, surgical intervention.

What is moderate canal stenosis at l5s1?
Narrowing of the space that nerves of the spinal chord pass through, Usually caused by age, trauma or arthritis.
What does this mean Disc bulges of L34 and L5S1 do not result in neural compression?
It means that even though there is compression of the material between the discs there is no interference or pressure being put on the nerves that pass between them to the body.
What does minimal scoliosis convex to the left centred on L3 desiccated L4-5 and L5s1 discs?
Minimal scoliosis convex to the left suggests a slight curvature of the spine, bending towards the left side, which is centered around the L3 vertebra. The mention of desiccated L4-5 and L5-S1 discs indicates that these intervertebral discs are dehydrated or have lost some of their normal fluid content, which can be a sign of degenerative changes. This condition may be associated with back pain or discomfort, and further evaluation might be needed to assess its impact on spinal function and overall health.

What is Non-neural compression of L5S1?
This means that L5 (the bottom vertebra of the lumbar spine) has fractured and compressed (telescoped) into S1 (the top of the sacral bone), and that there is no compression of the spinal cord (That is a GOOD thing!!)...
