Varies: Appropriate warm up and stretching before athletic activities, core strengthening, NSAIDs, making sure you are using correct technique while doing your sport are all ways back pain is typically managed in a student athlete. Sometimes working closely with the trainer or physical therapist can be helpful as well.
