Most back pain like you describe is actually caused by the lower back muscles tensioning-up in reaction to one's hips becoming misaligned.
A physical therapist taught me this after being out for 10 days with a bad back. I try to do this exercise at least four times a week, and I haven't had serious back pain in over ten years.
Best wishes for some relief.

My Chiropractor told me no heat. Ice only! (for my injury). I also have a Tens machine and use it regularly. The nice thing is I can use the Tens Machine for other muscle groups so I get more use out of it other than using it just for my back. Some are reasonably priced, you might want to look into it if you have a recurring injury.
