About this condition
Spinal instability in the lumbar region occurs when the bones, ligaments, and muscles supporting the lower spine cannot maintain proper alignment and stability during movement. This leads to excessive motion between vertebrae, causing pain, muscle spasms, and a feeling that the back might 'give way.' The condition can result from injury, degenerative disc disease, or previous surgery and may require physical therapy or surgical stabilization.
