For over 30 years I suffered with back pain. MRIs, X-rays, chiropractors, doctors, back surgeons, etc. My sister recommended a doctor whom she said did wonders for a friend of hers. I walked in the room, the doctor said, "Where is your pain?" I pointed to my lower back and she said, "What do you do?" After explaining I mostly sit in a chair, she said, "You have dead butt syndrome." (Look it up.) Basically, my hips were weak. Strengthened them (and continue to) and boom, back problems gone.
Look for a "directional non-force technique " chiropractor if you haven't had one already. The one I went to for the longest time, was able to keep me moving for 3-6 weeks before problems would resurface. He would never give me a straight answer as to what was causing my back problems but continued to cash my checks every time I showed up.
