Ibuprofen: You could try some OTC pain reliever like Ibuprofen or tylenol (acetaminophen). You can also see a chiropractor for evaluation and treatment.

Varies: Episodes of back pain are very common, they often respond to rest, moist heat, and anti-inflammatories. If symptoms persist, don't hesitate to be seen to determine a specific cause.
