In anatomy, a vertebra is a bone in the spinal column.[1]
Disorders
Various disorders may lead to lumbalgia (low back pain).
- Spondylosis
- Spondylolysis
- Spondylolisthesis
- Facet joint osteoarthritis. An underpowered randomized controlled trial found one of 10 patients benefited from corticosteroid injection of the facet joint.[2] However, possibly due to the small size of the trial, this result did not reach statistical significance.
