The lumbar region of the spine, located in the lower back, typically experiences the most stress. This area bears the weight of the upper body and is involved in various movements, making it susceptible to strain and injury. Factors such as poor posture, heavy lifting, and prolonged sitting can exacerbate stress on the lumbar spine, leading to discomfort and chronic pain. Proper ergonomics and strengthening exercises can help alleviate this stress.
A disk herniation most often occurs in the lower back (lumbar spine) or the neck (cervical spine). These are the areas of the spine that experience the most movement and stress, making them more susceptible to injury.
The thoracic spine, where movement of the spinal column is most limited.
The lower regions carry more weight and therefore more stress. This includes the lumbar region.

the lumbar region
Most spinal injuries occur in the cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) regions of the spine. The cervical spine is particularly vulnerable due to its mobility and range of motion, while the lumbar spine bears a lot of weight and can be prone to injury from lifting or twisting motions.
The spine (also called backbone or vertebral column) starts at the top of your neck, just under the scull, and goes all the way down to your tail-bone. There are 5 regions of the spine: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal. However the 3 most commonly discussed regions are the cervical, thoracic, lumbar regions. The cervical region is in the neck. The thoracic region is in the upper to mid back. The lumbar region is in the low back. The sacral region is in the back of your pelvis, between your buttocks. Finally, the coccygeal region is your "tail-bone."
