Lumbar Vertebrae

The lumbar vertebrae are five vertebrae located in the lower back between the thoracic spine and the sacrum. These are the largest vertebrae in size, having strong processes to which well-developed lumbar muscles are attached. The lumbar vertebrae support the brunt of body weight and provide mobility to the lumbar spine. Changes in the structure of these vertebrae can lead to lower back pain and limited mobility. The lumbar vertebrae play an important role in ensuring the normal functioning of the spine.

Lumbar Vertebrae - five vertebrae located in the lower back between the thoracic spine and the sacrum. These are the largest vertebrae in size, having strong processes to which well-developed lumbar muscles are attached.

The lumbar vertebrae play an important role in maintaining correct posture and mobility of the lumbar spine. They experience significant stress when bending, turning the body and lifting heavy objects.

The lumbar spine provides a connection between the fixed sacrum and the movable thoracic region, allowing movement in the lower back. At the same time, the lumbar vertebrae are the most susceptible to various injuries and diseases, such as osteochondrosis, herniated intervertebral discs, kyphosis and others.

Therefore, it is important to protect the lumbar spine, avoid overload and injury, and perform special exercises to strengthen the back muscles and maintain the health of the lumbar vertebrae.

🔨 Vertebrae L2, L3, L4, L5, S1

vertebrae of the upper half of the pelvic girdle. They are connected by the articular process of the sacrum and the promontory of the rectus ilium and the lateral angles are oriented to the sides according to the position of the hip joints. The processes from below are covered with hyaline cartilage and are connected by interarticular discs. The edges are connected by semi-arches, which are the junction of the articular processes. They have posterior arches and gently sloping articular fossae. On the transverse processes there are paired upper lumbar foramina. The nerves are directed side by side in a wide space between the arches; higher up they lie parallel to the ligaments.
