lumbar
Below the thoracic
Lumbar refers to the lower back, specifically the region between the ribs and the pelvis.
The term appears almost exclusively in anatomical and medical contexts: the lumbar spine, lumbar vertebrae, lumbar support.
A lumbar puncture extracts spinal fluid from this region.
I need a chair with better lumbar support.
