See Chiropractor: You are young and might be able to start with seeing a chiropractor. You might want to make an appointment with a pain doctor also to rule out in serious conditions.

Breaks & stretching: You probably are getting stiffness in the casing around your back and neck muscles from having poor posture (like we all do when driving) and not moving much. You should try to take a break every hour, get out of the care, and do back and neck stretches for 5 minutes and walk around outside. You can google "low back stretches" and "neck stretches" for examples on what to do.
