Severe headache, which does not respond
readily to common analgesics, is a major complaint. Muscle
pains are usually generalized and may cause great
discomfort; they are most prominent in the neck, along
the backbone, and in the **sacral region.**

Região sagrada
Refere-se ao sacro, as 5 vértebras situadas entre a zona lombar e o cóccix (o segmento inferior da coluna vertebral). As 5 vértebras sagradas são representadas pelos símbolos S1 até S5. Existem 5 nervos que correspondem às 5 vértebras. O sacro resulta da fusão das vértebras sagradas.


The sacral region (sacrum) is at the bottom of the spine and lies between the fifth segment of the lumbar spine (L5) and the coccyx (tailbone).

The sacrum is a triangular-shaped bone and consists of five segments (S1 – S5) that are fused together.
