Lumbar hernia is a disease that occurs as a result of the cartilage
between the vertebrae slipping from its place due to excessive
stress, entering the spinal canal, and putting pressure on the nerves
coming to the legs and spinal cord.

Its medical name is “discal
hernia”. It is called by the name of the region where it is formed
between the bones of the spine. For example; If the cartilage between
the 4th and 5th vertebrae has slipped, an L4-5 hernia is called a
discal. If the pain hits the right leg, the right L4-5 hernia, if it
hits the left leg, the left L4-5 hernia is called a discal.

Herniation occurs most frequently
between L4-5 and L5-S1 distances below it. It is seen less frequently
in L3-4 or rarely in L2-3 and L1-2 distances.

Waist hernia practically,

a) lumbar hernia at the beginning level

b) As an advanced lumbar hernia

can be divided into two separate groups. The treatment to be applied at each stage is different. Therefore, a good diagnosis is half of the treatment.
