The lumbar spine is probably the section of the spine that is most stressed and most frequently affected by pain. Above the pelvis, it is the lowest part of the back with 5 strong vertebral bodies and the intervertebral discs between them, thus carrying the weight of the entire upper body. Physiologically, it is slightly curved forward in order to be able to better absorb loads. Despite the high load, it is relatively mobile and must be supported by strong muscles.
