Go to the doctor, tell him signs and symptoms, he ca do tests, xray or MRI to find out what's causing back pain then request for outpatient Physical Therapy referral where they can manage your back pain and teach you proper body mechanics, stretching and exercises to strengthen your back.

First find the cause.
A few causes in my case.
1. Computer seat not good. Siting in it for more than 2 hours in a stretch gives me severe lower back pain.
Solution: get up, walk every hr, a couple of stretches too.
2. Bike / Car shock absorbers not good.
Solution: Do not ride it until repaired. The last time I rode a bike without proper shocks, I had a severe lingering back pain for 1 week before it went away on its own.
3. Any other official doctor terminology: The doctor will tell you what to do.
Posture is important. If you have a chair in which you can bend back a lot, straighten the posture and make it stiff. You will find a big difference in back pain in 1 week.

You may need an adjustment from a chiropractioner. But you should rest, if you are overweight then you need to drop pounds off the gut to lesson the strain on the lower back, and walking is supposed to be excellent for backs. So get some nice tennis shoes and do a lot of walking on a non concrete surface Then when you think your back is better you should strengthen it with core exercises like sit ups and other back exercises.

The best regarding prophylaxis against low back aches is to have strong back muscles
The best regarding treatment is to diagnose the cause of this pain and treatment is directed toward this cause

Let someone give you massage. Put an heating pad to your back. Take some Aleve for the pain. Go the doctor and let them do an X-Ray.
