Lumbar Spine Muscles Multifidus chiropractic videos. Shows the location of multifidus in the lumbar spine.
DESCRIPTION
Multifidus consists of many fleshy and tendinous fasiculi lying within the groove at the sides of the spine of the vertebrae from the sacrum to the axis. The latin word multus means many, findo means to cleave.
ORIGIN
Multifidus originates on the posterior sacrum from the fourth sacral foramen, from the aponeurosis of erector spinae, the posterior superior iliac spine and dorsal sacro-iliac ligaments, from all lumbar mamillary processes, all thoracic transverse processes and the articular processes of the lower four vertebrae.
INSERTION
Multifidus inserts into the length of the spine of the vertebrae above. The deepest fibres insert into the vertebrae directly above. The intermediate fibres insert into the second or third vertebrae above. The superficial fibres insert into the third or fourth vertebrae above.
