What is caudal disc space?

The caudal disc space refers to the intervertebral space located at the lower part of the spine, specifically between the last lumbar vertebra and the sacrum. It is crucial for spinal mobility and flexibility, as it allows for movement and shock absorption in the lower back. Pathological changes in this area, such as disc degeneration or herniation, can lead to pain and other neurological symptoms. Understanding the caudal disc space is essential in diagnosing and treating lower back disorders.
