Hi, I would like to answer your query. Firstly get an xray done to rule out no any secondary or pathological cause of your back pain. The most essential and long lasting remedy is exercises. There are certain back strengthening and isometric exercises that you must learn from a physiotherapist and perform them at home or work whenever possible. Take frequent stretch breaks and drink lots of water. Discontinue using pillow while sleeping straight. Do not lift heavy objects, especially after bending down. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance.
