what does moderate facet arthropathy l5-s1 mean
Facet arthropathy is a degenerative condition affecting the facet joints in the spine at the L4-L5 level. A synovial cyst may form due to increased pressure within the joint. Treatment options may include pain management, physical therapy, and in severe cases, surgery to alleviate pressure on the nerve roots.

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.
What is a L5-S1 , right paramedian protusion
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.
Grade one anterolisthesis of C4 on c5 is mild movement of the c4 cervical disc. This is most commonly caused by a sudden trauma.

whatis anterior subluxation on L5 on S1 mean?
Sclerotic degenerative facet changes refer to the development of bony overgrowth and hardening of the facet joints in the spine due to degeneration. This process can lead to decreased flexibility and increased stiffness in the affected joints, potentially causing pain and restricted movement. It is commonly seen in conditions such as osteoarthritis and can be visualized on imaging studies like X-rays or MRIs.
