The sacrum is a large wedge shaped vertebra at the inferior end of the spine. It forms the solid base of the spinal column where it intersects with the hip bones to form the pelvis.
The gently curved sacrum consists of five vertebrae which fuse together by the age of 25, and form a single wedge-shaped bone which is connected to both the last lumbar vertebrae and the ilium bone of the pelvis. When we stand, the sacrum is designed to actually wedge down firmly into the pelvis, which helps to create stability.
