Body work may help: Have you tried doing gentle yoga or maybe feldenkrais. Both modalities will help you improve posture and abdominal ("core") strength and, with a good teacher, can help reduce the pain. Also, some massage therapists are very good at helping alleviate muscle tightness and posture as well.
