lumbar vertebrae
The normal anatomy of the spine is usually described by dividing up the spine into 3 major sections: the cervical, the thoracic, and the lumbar spine. (Below the lumbar spine is a bone called the sacrum, which is part of the pelvis). Each section is made up of individual bones called vertebrae. There are 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, and 5 lumbar vertebrae.Anatomy of the Spine

There are many different types of spine problems that may be called a bent spine. Some are kyphosis and scoliosis. A treatment for scoliosis or kyphosis can be a back brace, or in severe cases corrective surgery.

Scoliosis of the lumbar spine is an abnormal sideways curve in the spine of the lower back.
The lumbar spine controls many parts of your body. The spine has numerous nerve connections to all the organs in your body. If your lumbar spine is damaged it can harm different organs.
Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. It can occur at any level of the spine, including the cervical (neck), thoracic (upper back), and lumbar (lower back) regions. The most common location for scoliosis is the thoracic spine, which is the upper and middle part of the back.
No.The cervical spine is in the neck and is above the lumbar spine, which is in the low back. Because we reference things from anatomical position, which is standing upright, and because the term "inferior" is used to denote things that are below, that statement would be incorrect. Therefore, we could correctly say the cervical spine is superior, or rostral, to the lumbar spine. We could also say that the lumbar spine is inferior, or caudal, to the cervical spine.
the thoracic spine is above the lumbar spine which means ALL thoracic vertebrae are superior to the lumbar vertebrae.
One of the most common reasons for lumbar surgery is to release pressure on the spine caused by a slipped disc or compression of the spine. Other conditions include sciatica, tumors and injuries.
Lumbar rotary levoscoliosis is a deformity of the spine. This causes a curvature of the spine that may also cause the ribs and lumbar area to be rotated slightly.
The lumbar section of a typical human spine contains five vertebrae, known as L1 to L5.
Its a degenerative condition in which your spine curves.
Osteoarthritis of lumbar spine (low back) is a very common form of arthritis that is commonly called "wear and tear" arthritis since it is usually due to the kind of stressful things that happen to people as they go through life (falls, heavy and awkward lifting, prolonged standing, prolonged forward flexion, pregnancy, poor posture, etc.). Osteoarthritis can affect any joint in the body, but is especially common in the lumbar spine because so much mechanical stress is applied to this area of the spine during the course of the and by most activities. Another term for lumbar osteoarthritis is lumbar spondylosis.
The thoracic spine has the most vertebrae - twelve.
There are typically five lumbar vertebrae.
