Low back pain is a very common condition. Examination and history provide important clues as to its etiology. Function and Anatomy: The lumbar spine must support a tremendous amount of weight, protect the spinal cord and yet still maintain flexibility that maintains range of motion. The low back is formed by 5 lumbar vertebrae and the sacrum. Each vertebrae articulates with the one above and below it in a precise fashion that helps to maximize function.
