Treat conservatively: Back pain in a 34 year old is most likely from muscle strain. This will improve over time and with medications like tylenol (acetaminophen) or Ibuprofen as well as using a heat pad. If there is any leg weakness or bowel or bladder control problems you need to see your doctor as it might be something more seriously.  If the pain does not improve, you should also see your doctor.

Exercise : Need to be more proactive in terms of daily exercise program in terms of flexibility & cardio along with core strengthening while limiting prolonged sitting which generates 4 times body weight across the discs of the lower back.   It suggests this is a disc problem .  If a smoker stop and if overweight, lose some pounds.  You can try otc meds if no medical reasons not to and if persists, see pcp.
