Several ways: You must be proactive in terms of lifestyle changes including: weight control, regular exercising & not smoking. Make sure to have adequate sleep & good vitamin d/calcium intake. Most people remain functional without spine surgery for back pain. You may need additional treatment that may include physical rherapy, medication as well as possible pain management techniques. Back support can help.

Get a diagnosis : Chronic back pain in a middle-aged person is most likely due to an underlying musculoskeletal pathology. A long list of things can cause this problem which makes it important to consult your doctor to obtain a proper diagnosis. Regardless of the diagnosis, effective treatment is likely available. Simply treating your symptoms blindly with pain medications is not advised.
