rachimedullary


Explanation:
I have only found two hits for this, and on sites trans from Spanish, so I would be a bit wary

the prefix rachi- relates to the lower part of the back and medullary to the marrow. So I suppose it would be understood by a health professional, even though it may not be the exact term
