  2. Sacroiliac joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacroiliac_joint

    The sacroiliac joint or SI joint (SIJ) is the joint between the sacrum and the ilium bones of the pelvis, which are connected by strong ligaments. In humans, the sacrum supports the spine and is supported in turn by an ilium on each side. The joint is strong, supporting the entire weight of the upper body.

  3. Facet joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facet_joint

    The facet joints (also zygapophysial joints, zygapophyseal, apophyseal, or Z-joints) are a set of synovial, plane joints between the articular processes of two adjacent vertebrae. There are two facet joints in each spinal motion segment and each facet joint is innervated by the recurrent meningeal nerves.

  4. Sacroiliac joint dysfunction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacroiliac_joint_dysfunction

    Over-diagnosis and attention on herniated discs has led to the SI joint becoming an underappreciated pain generator in an estimated 15% to 25% of patients with axial low back pain. [1] [8] [3] [5] [6] [7] The ligaments in the sacroiliac are among the strongest in the body and are not suspected by many clinicians to be susceptible to spraining ...

  5. Sacrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacrum

    The sacrum (pl.: sacra or sacrums [1]), in human anatomy, is a large, triangular bone at the base of the spine that forms by the fusing of the sacral vertebrae (S1–S5) between ages 18 and 30. [2] The sacrum situates at the upper, back part of the pelvic cavity, between the two wings of the pelvis. It forms joints with four other bones.

  6. Dimples of Venus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimples_of_Venus

    Further research has shown that the lumbar dimples have an effect on the anatomy of the spinal-pelvic junction. However, no statistically significant correlation was found between low back pain and the presence of these dimples. [5] In the 2010s, back dimples became a popular location for women to get transdermal body piercings. [6]

  7. Spinal cord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord

    Sectional organization of spinal cord. The spinal cord is the main pathway for information connecting the brain and peripheral nervous system. [3] [4] Much shorter than its protecting spinal column, the human spinal cord originates in the brainstem, passes through the foramen magnum, and continues through to the conus medullaris near the second lumbar vertebra before terminating in a fibrous ...

  8. Lumbosacral joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbosacral_joint

    The lumbosacral joint is a joint of the body, between the last lumbar vertebra and the first sacral segment of the vertebral column. [1] [2] In some ways, calling it a "joint" (singular) is a misnomer, since the lumbosacral junction includes a disc between the lower lumbar vertebral body and the uppermost sacral vertebral body, as well as two lumbosacral facet joints (right and left ...

  9. Sacrotuberous ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacrotuberous_ligament

    The sacrotuberous ligament is attached by its broad base to the posterior superior iliac spine, the posterior sacroiliac ligaments (with which it is partly blended), to the lower transverse sacral tubercles and the lateral margins of the lower sacrum and upper coccyx.
