What causes chronic back pains?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Several options: Back pain is usually related to arthritic changes to the spine. Sometime back pain can be related to infections, cancer, fractures, or even other organs such as the kidney, bladder, etc. If your pain lasts greater than 2 weeks i would see your physician.

There are many, many reasons for back pains and your question can not be simply answered. Most back pain is not serious and will resolve quickly on its own. If it is severe, however, or if it persists or is associated with other symptoms other than just the back pain, then you should be evaluated by an appropriately trained provider.
