Sorry to hear you are having this problem. Pain in the low back can be caused by damage to different tissues like muscle, ligaments, and tendons. This can be caused strictly by over exertion like lifting something too heavy or twisting in a weird way. It can also be caused by a bone in your spine moving out of position and stressing out those soft tissues. To determine what the real cause is requires actually evaluating you in person and possibly getting some X-rays taken. Start by applying ice to the painful area for periods of up to 20 minutes. YouTube has some excellent videos on low back stretching routines.

Chiropractors do NOT have prescription rights. I would urge you to talk with your present chiropractor if you have a good relationship with them. They may have an alternative method and should be willing to co treat your condition with an MD who can prescribe. If you are unsatisfied with them, I would be happy to consult with you and see if I offer anything significantly different than what you have currently been receiving.
