When I got hurt I was using physical therapy, chiropractor and a muscle relaxer (drug) to stop the spasms. Once I got better I stay that with exercise and I am more careful so I won’t get hurt again.

I use exercise and a chiropractor twice a month. I would suggest a chiropractor because they actually fix the problem instead of numbing the pain with just drugs. Be careful though chiropractic care seems to be prone to a lot of "quacks," so don't use anyone you haven't been referred to by another person who has received treatment from and been happy with the doctor.

lose weight could sometimes be a good idea

A physiotherapist to begin with - but now almost exclusively exercise and stretching. I wouldn't use a chiropractor ever and will occasionally use a pain-killer but never as a "solution". The best thing I ever did for my lower back was lose weight, get fit and get strong through that 'core' area using weights and kickboxing.

I use a combination of all of those. Sports therapist too. The why is because i do a lot of stupid sports and danced a lot, so have had numerous back injuries and would be in constant pain without the exercise and stretching and on the worst days the painkillers also.

There are stretches you can do without the chiro. You can try hanging upside down for a bit, what it does is that it stretches your every vertabra takes the pressure off. Try it at least 2 times a day for about 1 week. Im sure you will find relief maybe not cured but better then taking meds.
