      When I used to throw out my back regularly it was usually something really innocuous like brushing my teeth or reaching for the faucet when it happened.

      What I believe goes on, is over time building up some dysfunctional muscle tension that your unaware of, putting pressure on some vertebra, and it slowly ratchets up over time until its sitting right on the edge and finally it gives way during some minor movement.
