Our backs are made up of bones, joints, ligaments and muscles making it susceptible to various types of injuries. You can strain muscles, rupture disks, sprain ligaments and even irritate joints which can cause back pain. These injuries can happen while performing a simple every day task, such as bending over to tie your shoe. Although many cases of back pain are caused by sports injuries or car accidents; it can be a direct result from disease of the internal organs, such as kidney stones, kidney infections, or blood clots.
