There are some specific exercises that you can do to strengthen the supporting muscles of your spine, depending on your physical condition. There are supplements that you can take that may help strengthen the ligaments and tendons as well as the joints. It would be necessary to take a detailed history and perform a thorough examination before making specific recommendations, as each individual has different abilities and needs.

First and easiest... Walk , 1-5 miles a day. best if on uneven ground for part of it at least. Next core exercises... always start with very easy ones, master them being able to do them with good form and lots of rep or time before moving to harder ones. Find a DC / PT to help if you have a history of problems with your back.
There are many ways to strengthen the spine. Core stabilization, and weight bearing exercise are great ways to do it. Posture also plays a very large role in spinal health.
