For example, they might work in intensive care units (ICU) in hospitals, cardiac rehabilitation units, coronary care units (CCU) in hospitals, catheterization labs, or other heart-related medical settings.
A herniated disc L5-S1 is a bulging or ruptured intervertebral structure located at the juncture between the lumbar spine and the sacral spine.erniated Disc L5-S1 Conclusions. The L5/S1 level often herniates. It endures so much trauma in doing the most normal things and it is well documented that disc degeneration facilitates herniations. To be diagnosed with a disc condition at L5/S1 should never be a shock; it should instead be an expectation.
Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation occurs most commonly at L4/5 (L5 root; 50%) and at L5/S1 (S1 root; 46.3%). Therefore, compression of the 5th lumbar nerve root is most common, with the first sacral nerve roots a close second.ver 90% of all clinically significant lower extremity radiculopathies due to disc herniation involve the L5 or S1 nerve root at the L4-5 or L5-S1 disc level. The natural history of most disc herniation is that the symptoms are self-limited and do not require surgical therapy.
