The foraminal of the L5-S1 refers to the intervertebral foramen located between the fifth lumbar vertebra (L5) and the first sacral vertebra (S1). This anatomical structure serves as a passageway for the nerve roots of the lumbosacral plexus, which supply sensation and motor function to the lower body. Narrowing or impingement in this area, often due to conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis, can lead to pain, numbness, or weakness in the legs. Proper assessment and treatment are essential for addressing any issues related to the foraminal at L5-S1.
