hello sir,
can you suggest exercises for lumbar instability (lower back) to eliminate the pain and numbness?
thank you very much.

I would like to thank RAA for this very good question. Indeed lumbar instability is one of the common biomechanical problems an individual may encounter. It can affect work and activities of daily living.
A handful of very good definitions can be seen in this WEBSITE.
To give a few:
"True Lumbar Instability occurs when the ligaments, discs and joints that support the bones of the spine are damaged to the point they can no longer hold the bones together. This causes back pain. As the bones move out of place, they can pinch the nerves and cause leg pain and weakness. The term "Lumbar Instability" is sometimes used instead of Internal Disc Disruption, or Derangement. This is a similar condition in that there is damage to a disc which leads to back pain, although there is no abnormal movement of the bones."- Dr. Mark Rosenthal
The following definitions are good ones which EMPHASIZE THAT LUMBAR INSTABILITY MAY HAVE DIFFERENT ETIOLOGIES OR CAUSES, AND KNOWING THE CAUSE CAN AID US IN PROVIDING MANAGEMENT...
"Spinal instability is the term used to describe a loss of function of the spinal tissues. Typically, this results in abnormal movement of the tissues of the spine during normal activities. One common form of spinal instability involves a slippage of one vertebral bone relative to another. This is known as "subluxation" or "spondylolisthesis".- Dr. Andrew Glass
"Lumbar instability involves excessive motion between vertebral segments. This motion may be caused by spinal fractures, tumors, infection, scoliosis or other bony abnormalities that weaken the architecture of the spine. When severe, the instability can cause incapacitating deformity or pain as a result of the structural changes. Instability can also lead to damage or inflammation of the nerve roots. Disc degeneration may cause more subtle instability and produce pain from repetitive motion."- Dr. W. Christopher Urban
