Back pain is caused by a complicated structure of bones, joints, ligaments and muscles. When you sprain ligaments, strain muscles, rupture disks and irritate joints, these all can lead to this issue. Sports injuries or accidents can cause back pain as well as simple movements like bending over to pick up a child. Other factors to consider are arthritis, poor posture, obesity and psychological stress which can cause or complicate back pain. Back pain can also directly result from disease of the internal organs. Organs such as kidney stones, kidney infections, blood clots or bone loss.

Back pain is one of the most common reasons for missed work. This pain is the second most common reason for visits to the doctor, outnumbered only by upper-respiratory infections. Most back pain is mechanical or non-organic — meaning they are not caused by serious conditions such as inflammatory arthritis, infection, fracture or cancer.
