A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lifestyle change : Usually, it involves a more active attempt to exercise regularly, weight control and smoking cessation if these are factors. If the back pain is the type that is worse with activity and certain positions and better with rest and changing positions. Sometimes, over the counter medications like ibuprophen can help. You may need an evaluation for a diagnosis and then physical therapy to get going.
