Could be multilevel contusions/sprains & strains from falling down the stairs and bruising the back. While basic first aids like alternating warm & cold compresses, & taking OTC analgesics like Panadol/Tylenol or even Ibuprofen can help, it's best to see the PCP soonest so that if preventive care- like Back Bracing, neck stabilization or Shoulder bracing are indicated one can have it with imaging
