I have injured ligaments in my spine, upper lumbar or lower thoracic. m ri showed nothing how do we find which ligaments and what treatment is best?

No you don't: Unless you have had a severe seatbelt injury, your diagnosis is incorrect. LBP is generally caused by DDD. Ligament injury, as a cause of LBP, is extremely rare.
