Trace the area from your hip bones straight across to the middle of your back. Then you will find the L5 S1 area about two finger widths below that.

Where isL4 and L5 located in the back?

The L4 and L5 vertebrae are located in the lower back. The two lowest discs (L4-L5 and L5-S1) take the most strain and are the most likely to herniate. This can cause lower back pain and possibly numbness that radiates through the leg and down to the foot (sciatica).

What are L4 and L5?

They could be several things. Many different systems use an alphanumerical combination to record and file thinsg, and the terms L4 and L5 can refer to some specific things depending on what field you work in. Examples commonly used are the lumbar verebrae L4 and L5 in anatomy, and the LaGrangian points L4 and L5 in astronomy. The lumbar vertibrae L4 and L5 are the sciatic region of the back and are the most common area of disk compression failure, leading to chronic sciatica and other lower body nerve compromise.

What is grade 1 degenerative anterolisthesis of L4 on L5. Degenerative disc space narrowing and facet arthrosis L4-L5 and L5-S1 and resultant canal stenosis and neural foraminal narrowing at L4-L5 and?

Grade 1 degenerative anterolisthesis of L4 on L5 refers to a condition where the vertebra at the L4 level has shifted forward in relation to the L5 vertebra due to degenerative changes. Degenerative disc space narrowing and facet arthrosis at the L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels indicate wear and tear of the intervertebral discs and facet joints in the lower lumbar spine. Resultant canal stenosis and neural foraminal narrowing at L4-L5 suggest compression of the spinal canal and nerve roots at the L4-L5 level, potentially leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back and legs.

Yes, try Bowen Therapy from a fully qualified registered therapist. I suffered from a bulging disc L4/L5 disc with low back pain, sciatica and leg numbness and wasting starting in 1987. In 1999 I had four Bowen Therapy treatments and have been virtually pain free since.
