Core strength and flexibility are key to preventing back injuries. Warm up muscles prior to excertion by stretching and slowly increase work loads.
Be careful of self remedies concerning your back and spine. Seek professional care in the appropriate field of medicine. Usually a couple visits to a sports medicine/sports rehabilitation office will give you a personalized regimen to follow for your specific needs. Surgery, in my opinion, is the last option in most cases.
Sounds like alot of people have back problems and Timbowe is definately hitting the mark. Try and work on posture while riding and sitting around.
A large portion of the male population can remedy the sciatic nerve issue by not carrying your wallet in the back pocket. A large wallet will cause a shift to your hips while sitting and an curve of the spine over time. The accessory muscles that give stability to the spine will be out of balance causing back pain because they are compensating to keep you verticle. Also, the direct pressure of the wallet impinges on the tissue and nerves running down the back of your legs resulting in numbness and pain.
Anyway, back pain sucks ! Hope you feel better soon..
