Title: Do any muscles attach close to the IVDs of the spine?
Post by: MIscQuestions on Aug 3, 2019
It's hard to figure it out from the images.  If  so what muscles?

Just so that we're on the same page, IVDs = intervertebral discs

(https://www.physio-pedia.com/images/b/bc/Psoas_major.gif)

The psoas major is a large muscle with attachments on the vertebral bodies, discs, and transverse processes from T-12 to L-5.

Others include:

Iliocostalis – the lateral most column.
Longissimus – the middle column.
Spinalis – the medial most column; lines up by spinous processes.
