Back Pain: The Price We Pay For Being Human

The pelvis is shaped like a ring. It's attached to the sacrum, the triangle at the base of the spine.

An accident can cause a fractured pelvis. A pelvic fracture is usually accompanied by other injuries like bleeding, as well as nerve and organ damage.

Osteoporosis can lead to pelvic fracture. Falling upon getting in and out of a tub or while using the stairs can be enough to injure weakened bones.
