How do you say, "lower back" in Spanish?

I just finished a review on the outer body parts flashcards and want to know how to say, "lower back" since that is a part that often needs attention by a doctor. I wasn't really happy with the translator on this since it gave 3 different answers.

Sounds like a literal translation from English. It does sound a little odd. - 00d312f5, Feb 16, 2012
