Hi There, Get yourself a copy of "The Back Doctor" by Hamilton Hall, M.D. I recommend this book for all back problems. It helps you understand exactly what is happening. I do a simple 10 minute exercise from the book, and it helps everytime. I also go to a chiropractor, that specializes in pressure points on the neck. he does no manipulation. He believes all back problems are related to misalignment of the neck. When I went to him, I had been to a specialist,& physio, and was in constant pain. He was the only one that helped. I still see him, whenever I feel the need. Hope this helps a bit. There are not a lot of chiropractors that do this type of work. I live in B.C. Canada.
