Lumbosacral transitional vertebra is a congenital condition—meaning you’re born with it. It occurs when the last lumbar vertebra isn’t properly fused with the sacrum, which can sometimes lead to chronic lower back pain. Treatment depends on the severity of your symptoms and can range from physiotherapy and posture correction to, in rare cases, surgery. For proper evaluation and management, it’s best to consult an orthopedic or spine specialist
