Various : Late 30's person with chronic low back pain first needs proper diagnosis to determine which soft tissue is injured. An osteopathic doctor can perform this service. Rational pain management treatments can be tailored to the underlying disorder. Pain medications can mask the problem and enable it to worsen. Walking and a supportive mattress that is not too firm are entry level self-help actions.
