The lumbar region refers to the lower part of the back, consisting of five vertebrae labeled L1 to L5. This area is crucial for supporting the upper body and allowing movement, such as bending and twisting. The lumbar spine is also a common site for pain due to its weight-bearing function and the stress it endures during daily activities. In addition to the vertebrae, the lumbar region contains important structures like intervertebral discs, which act as cushions between the vertebrae, and nerves that branch out to the lower body. Proper care and posture are essential to maintain the health of this vital area.
