Back : Back pain may arise from the bones, disks, muscles, ligaments, joints, nerves, spinal cord and other organ systems. To determine the exact cause and best treatment for your back pain you need to see a spine specialist or spine surgeon. Good luck! for more details about back problems see my health guides.
