General information Lumboischialgia (composed of lumbus = loin, sciatica = sciatic nerve, -algia = pain) is a pain in the lumbar spine caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve. Lumboischialgia is therefore a symptom and not an independent disease. In most cases, the pain radiates along the course of the nerve via the buttocks to … Lumboischialgia in pregnancy
On the back, the thoracodorsal nerve innervates the large back muscle and the large round muscle. Both play an important role in arm movements. Lesions occur, for example, in neuralgic shoulder amyotrophy and arm plexus palsy. What is the thoracodorsal nerve? The thoracodorsal nerve belongs to the peripheral nervous system and is one of the … Thoracodorsal Nerve: Structure, Function & Diseases

The human body usually has between 32 – 34 vertebral bodies, in most cases 33. These vertebral bodies are … Vortex
Cervical vertebra The cervical spine is part of the human spine. It represents the connection between the head and the rest of the spine. There are a total of 7 different vertebrae that lie on top of each other. The first and second vertebrae play a prominent role. The first vertebra is called the atlas, … Cervical vertebra | Vortex
Thoracic vertebra The thoracic spine continues the cervical spine downward. It consists of 12 vertebrae which, although similar in structure to the cervical vertebrae, are much more massive in terms of their vertebral structure. One of the main reasons for this is that the thoracic spine must support a much greater mass than the cervical … Thoracic vertebra | Vortex
Lumbar vertebra The lumbar spine closes the spinal column at the bottom. The vertebral bodies are also known as vertebrae lumbales. Compared to the previous vertebrae, they are even more massive, corresponding to the further increase in body weight to be supported and the increased static demands.The posteriorly oriented processi spinosi (spinous processes) are flat … Lumbar vertebra | Vortex
Function The vertebrae form the spine and allow the trunk to move in all directions. Rotational movements (twisting) come especially from the cervical spine. Bending and stretching is mainly made possible by the lumbar spine. The vertebral arches protect the spinal cord from possible injuries. Via the intervertebral discs, shocks can be buffered. Adjust the … Function | Vortex
Synonyms LWS Lumbar vertebra Lumbar vertebral body Lordosis – Hyperlordosis Lumbalgia Lumbago Lumboischialgia Lumbar spine syndrome Anatomy The lumbar spine (lumbar spine) is part of the spinal column. It usually consists of 5 lumbar vertebrae. The lumbar vertebral bodies are numbered 1 – 5 from the head to the rump. As a mostly harmless standard … Lumbar Spine (LWS)
Function In the lumbar spine, mainly bending and straightening as well as lateral movements are possible. Due to the special structure of the vertebral bodies and the position of the vertebral joints in relation to each other, rotational movement is virtually non-existent. A healthy lumbar spine can be bent and stretched by 70°, the lateral … Function | Lumbar Spine (LWS)
Diseases The lumbar spine is prone to wear and tear and injury due to its static load and high degree of mobility. Back painBack pain is a widespread disease. Everybody knows it, but the frequency of back pain is individually very different.Back pain can occur in different forms: Pain in the lumbar spine can be … Diseases | Lumbar Spine (LWS)
Strengthen the lumbar spine Since the lumbar spine has to carry a comparatively high load, strengthening the back muscles in this area is particularly important. The so-called “autochthonous back muscles”, which are located directly on the spine, contribute a very large part to this. However, the abdominal muscles as an opponent to this should not … Strengthen the lumbar spine | Lumbar Spine (LWS)
Stretch the lumbar spine The lumbar spine provides attachment surfaces for numerous muscles and ligament structures, which results in constant traction on the lumbar spine both in movement and in the resting position. Since this ideally takes place symmetrically, i.e. the same structures on both sides exert the same forces on them, there should be … Stretch the lumbar spine | Lumbar Spine (LWS)
