For anyone suffering from Type A or Type C, I urge you to check if you have LSTV (Lumbosacral Transitional Vertebrae). It is estimated to effect 12% of the population.
This diagnosis (only 6 months ago) got me out of a spiral of pain. Knowing it was not a disc or other soft tissue gave me the confidence to stretch and exercise appropriately and I’m now mostly pain free. I expect in another 6 months I won’t notice it at all.
If you see a chiro then ask for imaging (X-rays are typically covered by insurance after 6 visits with your doctor). This diagnosis literally changed my life, and I wish I’d had it sooner.
