The Lumbar Spine refers to the bottom six vertebrae in the spine. Most strain on the Lumbar spine occur between L4 and L6, where the back bows. This forces blood from the rest of the back to flow over to even-out the blood flow in the back. Therefore, the small of the back has minimal blood flow, making a puncture easier.
