Yes, bursa sacs are present in the lower back, specifically around the joints of the lumbar spine.

What is the function of the prepatellar bursa?
Bursa sacs are both the shock absorbers and the ball bearings of the musculoskeletal system. They disperse forces from blows on bony prominences and reduce friction where tendons or ligaments are in frequent motion. A bursa sac functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body. The plural of bursa is "bursae". There are 160 bursae in the body. The major bursae are located adjacent to the tendons near the large joints, such as the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees.
