low back

Sacral region area

Low back refers to the lower portion of the back, roughly the lumbar region between the ribs and pelvis.

The term appears most often in medical or ergonomic contexts: low back pain, low back support.

As an adjective, low-back describes chairs, dresses, or other items that don't extend high up the back: a low-back office chair, a low-back evening gown.
