Where on the body is a spinal tap performed

Is that the posterior or the anterior/am I using the right words?

Posterior Dorsal Region....depends on what the spinal tap is for.

Anterior Refers to the front of the body

Posterior refers to the back side

yes your using the right words

Dorsal also refers to the back side but speaking generally of the spine region.

Spinal taps are used for many things;

back pain/cortisone injections

Cerebral Spinal fluid checks

Epidurals

And so on

They are very painful and not fun at all.`

Vee, if you have anymore questions email me directly my woman and I are both nurses and we would be glad to help.

The spine is located posteriorly. Therefore a spinal tap would be done posteriorly in the lumbar spine region to prevent spinal cord injury.

seriously??? With a name like SPINAL Tap, it would be obvious.
