What's the cause of lower back pain if there's nothing showing up on an cray?

Many: Plain x-rays rarely show the cause for low back pain. Most is muscular strain, with some disc issues also common; these are not shown on x-ray. Initial treatment can almost always proceed without imaging; when indicated, MRI can show relevant soft tissue problems.
