How do you fix back pain?

Depends: If caused by a fracture/break it can be splinted and fixed. If caused by a rash can be treated. If caused by an infection - antibiotics. Depends on the cause.

Back pain: The best way to know how to relieve back pain is to determine the cause. This requires medical evaluation. In the meantime, there are many options. Stretching, heat from a shower or heating pad (be careful to avoid getting burned), massage, manipulation/ alignment & acupuncture are some of those. Physical therapy, surgery & medications (i.e. NSAID's or muscle relaxants) are sometimes advised.
