- Injuries to the lumbar spine are severe but not life-threatening. Early treatment is important to the prognosis.
The lumbar spine is located in the lower back below the cervical and thoracic sections of the spine. It consists of five vertebrae known as L1 - L5. These lumbar vertebrae (or lumbar bones) contain spinal cord tissue and nerves which control communication between the brain and the legs. Damage to the lumbar spinal cord subsequently affects the hips and groin area, and may impact the lower abdominal muscles and thigh flexion as well.
Lumbar spinal cord injuries (SCIs) may be complete or incomplete and may affect one or both sides of the body. As is the case with other spinal cord injuries, the completeness of the spinal cord damage will determine how severe the injury and symptoms will be for the patient.
Anatomy of the Lumbar Spine: Where Are the L1-L5 Vertebrae Located?
How many vertebrae are in the spine? Well, for the lumbar spinal column, there are five sections.
Lumbar vertebrae anatomy is generally classified by dividing the lumbar spine into five distinct sections. These sections are labelled as the L1-L5 vertebrae. These vertebrae are located near the base of the spine and naturally form a slight outward curve in the back, just below the inward curve of the thoracic spine. The lumbar vertebrae function to contain and protect the end of the spinal cord, as well as support the weight of the torso.
Here’s a quick explanation of how the lumbar spinal cord fits in with your lower back anatomy, as well as potential symptoms of injuries do different parts of the lumbar spine.
What is the L1 Vertebra? What Are the Symptoms of an L1 Injury?
The L1 vertebra is the topmost section of the lumbar spinal column. This section of the spine contains a portion of the spinal cord. Injuries to the L1 spine can affect hip flexion, cause paraplegia, loss of bowel/bladder control, and/or numbness in the legs.
What is the L2 Vertebra? What Are the Symptoms of an L2 Injury?
The L2 vertebra contains the end of the spinal cord proper-all other spinal vertebrae below this point only have spinal nerves, not the spinal cord. Injuries to the L2 vertebra can have effects similar to an L1 injury (reduced hip flexion, paraplegia, and numbness).
What is the L3 Vertebra? What Are the Symptoms of an L3 Injury?
This is the middle vertebra of the lumbar spine, and the first vertebra to not contain a section of the spinal cord. Common symptoms of an L3 lumbar spinal injury include weakness, numbness, and loss of flexibility in the legs, hips, and/or groin.
What is the L4 Vertebra? What Are the Symptoms of an L4 Injury?
The second to last section of the lumbar spinal column. While injuries to the L4 vertebra tend to be less severe than injuries to the spinal cord proper, symptoms include an inability to bend the feet in a particular direction.
What is the L5 Vertebra? What Are the Symptoms of an L5 Injury?
The L5 vertebra is the final section of the lumbar spine (at least, it is for most people). Injury to the L5 spinal nerve bundle can cause numbness and weakness in the legs, but the extent of these symptoms can vary from case to case.
Lumbar Injury Prognosis
Injuries to the lumbar spine are severe but not life-threatening. Early treatment is important to the prognosis of lumbar spinal cord damage. Patients with a lumbar spinal cord injury can be independent and care for their own mobility and hygienic needs. Many patients are able to maneuver around in their manual wheelchair and may even be able to walk for short distances. Weakness is the main issue with patients who experience lumbar nerve injuries, so physical therapy is a must in the recovery phase.
Common Lumbar Spinal Cord Injury Symptoms
Patients with lumbar spinal cord injuries may experience:
• Paraplegia with functional independence
• The need for a manual wheelchair for part-time or full-time use
• Ability to ambulate using braces or other walking devices
• Lack of control of bowels or bladder
Causes of Lumbar Spinal Cord Injuries
The most common causes spinal cord injuries at the lumbar level are:
• Motor vehicle accidents
• Trauma
• Falls
• Birth defect
• Degeneration
• Osteoporosis
L1-L5 SCI Injury Treatment
Current treatments available for spinal cord patients with lumbar injuries include:
• Drugs: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drugs are used in treating spinal cord injuries.
• Surgery: Surgical decompression of the nerves and fusion of the vertebrae are done to reduce pressure around the spinal nerves, and fixate the spinal column around the spinal cord injury. This can help to restore some function in a person’s lower back anatomy, especially by removing cysts.
• Therapy: Physical therapy is done to encourage strength in the areas that are affected by spinal cord damage, as well as maintain function in the non-affected area.

Love to know I’m not the only one dealing with crippling back pain
You are not alone!
I guess I was pretty lucky! I fell 30’ out of a tree. Burst fracture of my L1, SCI (lost bladder and bowel, no sensation in hip region) torn ACL, MCL and LCL and had a pulmonary embolism in right lung. I regained bladder and bowel control, vertebrae is fused from T11-L1, I am mobile and am able to walk on my own after being in a wheelchair and walker. I am thankful to still be here and now grateful for my abilities and to grow stronger. Thank you for the video!
Nice. I fell from 20’ off a ladder and burst L1 and L2. 9 months later I was back at work and a year after injury I was back on ladders and roofs. Being much more careful this time.
Wrench 22, Thanks for sharing your story that sounds like a scary fall but a fairly good recovery all things considered. Especially glad to hear you regained bowel & bladder that is such an under discussed challenge of spinal cord injuries.
Robert, Thanks for sharing that. It's always nice to hear from those who eventually have a good recovery from what is such an intense injury.

Hi , can you please share your experience of rehabilitation and physio ? What things helped you ? Thanks
This is a very helpful video. Thank you for the clear explanation and for posting.
We are happy to hear you enjoyed the video.
Thanks. I've very recently fractured L1- L4 & this video was very useful.
Very good information
Informative.
My husband had an accident that a pick up truck fell and hit his back, it had wheels so it didn't squeezed him, but the trauma broke his T12, L1 and L2, I met him a decade after. Before his back didn't hurt so much, but this year, it's 31 years already that he is on wheelchair and the doctors just give him pain killers, I believe they need to check if the back is still stabilized.
@Luli Brazil I hope you can get help for your husband's back soon. I will keep you both in prayer 🙏🏼

I fractured my l2 from a fall of a horse in 2021. Thank you for this video.
I got 🍀 lucky
I have a disc narrowing space in t12 and L1 how it can be solved
I had an Xray that showed I had a small wedge between my L4 and L5. I did have pain when it first happened, put me out for a month I could barely walk. I'm good now but I need to get checked ASAP because even though I do work and workout 6x per week but there's a small discomfort and small pain on my left/right sides, the pain shifts, sometimes even from one minute to the other.
Do you think on if I’ve been walk-in around an even fell that I could gave possibly damaged them two Same bones even more
My L1 burst fracture occurred after falling down my wooden basement stairs. I missed an upper step then flew into the air slamming down on the 2nd step from the bottom. I had zero bruising on my back instead I swelled internally. I spent 11 days in the hospital. I went home to recover in a brace. Sadly my doctor passed away from Covid-19. Because of Covid in 2020 I decided to go home instead of a nursing facility. I had zero rehab. They refused to fix my back because I have stage 4 osteoporosis. I also have Multiple Sclerosis and severe Fibromyalgia. I have Rheumatoid arthritis too. Anyway the swelling was so severe I could not urinate normally. I had no feeling so to pee I had to use a pure wick that sucked it into a container. I was unable to have a bowel movement for 15 days. I have no numbness instead I suffer from horrible debilitating pain. I also suffered a T-12 herniated disc. It has been a very painful 3 years.
So very sorry all you have gone through.
Informative content, I suffered from L3 and L4 disk issues few months back and i am recovering slowly with few exercises and changes in the habits.
can you please ell me hat kind of exercices. it urts soo much. thank you.
Glad to hear your recovery is going well! Keep up the hard work, it pays off.
wiil you pls send theexercises and video regarding l3L4
Mine is L5
Good informative explanation.
Thanks for the feedback!
What is best physical therapy pls .sir i also same cases
@@ganeshdhakal4557 Acupuncture is the solution only.
Can this cause you too feel like your body is being crushed from the lower back to feet? Rib cage, muscles in abdomen, down both sides, my entire pelvis, both legs, to the bottom of my feet
What about bracing?

My dad fell of a ladder and has the l2 l4 l5 vertebres broken, he was in the hospital for 5 days and takes medication, what are the risks? Will he walk normally again? 😢❤
I injured L-1 comprassion fracture how to treat plz
clinical information: mri scan of lumbo-sacral spine screening dorsal spine thank you for referring this case. following are the findings: muitipianar mr imaging of the lumbar spine was performed using a phased-array spine coil and large fov. there is loss of normal lumbar lordosis. the marrow within the vertebrae reveals normal signal intensity. l1 vertebra shows slight reduced height with anterior wedging. l3 vertebra is also severely collapsed. l2-3 and l3-4 intervertebral discs are degenerated. l1-2 disc reveal no significant posterior bulge or herniation. l2-3 and l3-4 discs reveal posterior and bilateral paracentral herniation with indentation upon theca and both l3, l4 nerve root. mild diskogenic central canal stenosis is noted at l2-3 and l3-4 level l4-5 and ls-sl discs reveal no significant posterior bulge or herniation. no facetai arthropathy is noted. there is no thickening of ligamentum flavum. the lower end of the spinal cord, cauda equina and filum terminale
Good information.
Glad it was helpful!
Three herniated disks and bone edema it’s a nightmare I train daily. It unstable every morning
What is the window for treatment after initial
Diagnosis? I'm still walking but afraid it's too late.
The sooner the better is a good rule of thumb. However it's never too late, you may want to consider Activity Based Therapy to improve your recovery: ruclips.net/video/NMX7bAHiE24/видео.html
You have disc problem
Go to any physiotherapist who have all equipment including Lumber traction and get therapy soon.
If someone with a Lumbar SCI CAN-'T return to driving there is a HUGE problem with their rehab. I am T2 Complete SCI and have driven many vehicles with hand-controls. The only Concern would be if there is a co-morbid brain injury. As judgement could be impaired enough to make licensing unsafe.
This video serves to alert and inform of the many affects of spinal issues. I have a number of spinal issues affecting my well being. Several Vertebrae disc bulges, mild to moderate stenosis, dextroscoliosis of 25 degrees, facet joint arthritis all along the spine. I'm 70, in 1966 playing HS football, I fractured the right femur. It is 1 " short since, and was left Unaddressed since that time until about 2012 when I began wearing adjusted shoes. Too late, the damage has been done....all the way up to the top of my skull. CNS and peripheral Nerve damage. My question is this: Can Disc Bulges at L2 & L3 , bulging into the front and the rear, affect your Stomach? A old Neurologist, 52 years in practice, showed me (and no other doctor did), that those 2 Disc bulges "could" affect your stomach. I suffer many Chronic Itises: Sinusitis, Tinnitus, IBS /GERD, Arthritis all over the place (hips, Knees, Neck , Facet Joints), Chronic pain/ Stiffness/ Anxiety and even diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. The Scoliosis too can affect many organs in the body bc of the affect to various Nerves as one Mt. Sinai Spinal Surgeon told me - he said many Doctors count that short in the exam. Do you concur with the old neurologist? My Diaphragm is affected as well, my ribs hurt. I suffer form Miitary Neck sustained from Forward Head Posture (ciommuting by car for over 48 years).
Bro. Just ask the doctors online I’m sure they’ll help you.
Or try alternative medicine: smoke weed and the pain goes away.
@@saloona_ Full Spectrum CBD oil helps. But I am not the type of person to just Take a Pill for The Ill as many doctors tell you. I want to understand exactly what is wrong and address the Causes, If I can.
thanks for the video i have l1 fracture in mh spine i been waiting for physio for over a year and cant sleep due to in agoncy with my soine plus i have ms as well and its affected my bowels some days i barely walk without a wheelchair and alos would you say this is a serious condition as i would as i also have lesions on my brain due to the ms feel so angry with the nhs due to no phusio at all until my daughter wrote to my daughter with anger im 49 years old i fink this is outrage due to let people suffer
By normal life you mean living with agonizing back pain and pain radiating down your legs then yes lol
Yep, and peeing yourself.
Most people don't realize the bladder, bowel, and sexual challenges which go with a spinal cord injury. But peeing yourself can be a reality :(
I suffered a burst L1 last year. It was not fixed due to Osteoporosis. I'm lucky I have full use of everything. However because it wasn't fixed I'm in daily pain. Some days are horrible. But I'm here and I'm thankful.
Never trust a fart!

6-24-21 I'm going in to have a discussion cut off to relief pinching of the spinal nerve. Between l2 and l3. I have 5rods and screws there,had 6 but one slipped and had to be removed. One is broken rite in the middle of the screw. Can't be removed,to dangerous! That doesn't cause me pain tho. 3rods in my neck also! My spine is deteriateing! I have heart disease and sleep apnea so goin under anistitha is alil scarey! But to be honest I'm terrified! My neurosurgeon said,in and out,no more then 2,21/2hrs. And he'll do his best to not cause MORE nerve damage. I already live in horrific pain everyday,every night! My husband died 6months ago! Im soooo ready to join him!
We are sorry to hear about the challenges you are facing and hope you get some relief from the pain soon. Good luck with the procedure.
🙏 ❤

Had an Infected spinal dermal sinus tract leading to the spinal cord at L2-3. Lost bowel and bladder function, almost no sexual function, extremely weak lower limbs but Thank god I can still walk.
But saying having a normal life sir, is just not true. Since it happened when I was born, I'm hoping to get an MRI and hoping it's a tethered spinal cord causing the symptoms and not the 8 spinal surgeries I had and hoping out of everything that I can be fixed even though the chances are low. Here's to hoping we're not unfixable.
Hey brother can you please tell me how you have been

Many thanks, I have been researching "can sciatica cause pain in lower abdomen?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Fenulian Prefatory Future - (do a google search ) ? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for discovering how to expose the trick to beat down your sciatica back pain problems minus the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my partner got amazing success with it.
Oooh I have a similar injury on L5 and L3 hairline fracture) they put me on strong corticosteroids for a week while they wait for my mri approval to see what’s the next step. Most likely they’ll give you that and a muscle relaxer, and a custom back brace.
Worse case scenario they can tell you to get that lumbar steroid injection directly into your spine to get the meds right in there for your chronic pain.
I fell down my basement stairs. I suffered a burst fracture of my L1 vertebrae. I have severe daily pain. They placed me in a brace but did nothing more. Right after my brace came off my primary doctor died of Covid-19. So I had no rehab therapy. But I'm doing the best I can.
Cannabis CBD
Sir which therapy is this
I fractured my L1 and L3
I remember my back locked on me
The first 2 hrs I couldn’t move
Omg this is scary, I just got out of the ER thinking I have this, thank God mri was normal.
Interesting and incomplete: Chiropractic as a pain management reliever of Lumbar symptoms never mentioned. Why?
The doc said mine is L1 thru L7. So what does that mean for me.
That addresses the area of body impacted by your injury. If you ever don't understand what your doctor is communicating be sure to ask them follow up questions until you do understand!
How about S1 to S2 damage?. Thats my situation due to MVA

S-L5-L4 fusion and now deroofed disc at L4-L3 with grade 1-2 spondylolisthesis. Still walking and sucking up the pain. Surgery coming up soon. I would sooner put a bullet in my head than be in a wheelchair. I am 60. I am prepared to die. I will either live or die, but I will not exist for the sake of existing. A society that treats it's animals better than it's humans is barbaric. For failed spinal surgeries euthanasia ought to be available.
Dude don’t give up hope. I too have had a surgery at l4/l5 that’s not going so well. Right leg was completely paralyzed when I woke up. The feeling and movement came back slowly but painfully. A year and a half later I’m still in pain in lower back and both legs and feet. Meds do help but not 100% though. Got eight more weeks in PT and then another surgery to fuse l5/S1. They supposed to tie it in to previous fusion. Got what they call an L6 vertebrae that’s also giving me problems. Who knows, maybe things will work out for the best this time. I’m praying for you and everyone else who’s suffering from this.
