Understanding the lower back
The spine is made up
of many bones called vertebrae. The vertebrae are roughly circular and
between each vertebra is a disc. The discs are made of strong
rubber-like tissue which allows the spine to be fairly flexible. Strong
ligaments also attach between adjacent vertebrae to give extra support
and strength to the spine. There are also various muscles that are
attached to the spine which enable the spine to bend and move in various
ways. There are also small facet joints that help to attach vertebrae
to each other. The sacrum is formed from five fused vertebrae that are
joined together. They form a triangular shaped structure at the bottom
of the spine. The two sacroiliac joints are the large long joints that
join the sacrum to the ilium (the main bone of the pelvis).
