I have back issues too. Stretching, proper body mechanics has worked the best. No bending at the waist, keep the twisting to a minimum, keep things as close to your body as possible when lifting. I've been dealing with it for over 10 years. Its always something stupid. One time was while bending over and picking up the morning paper. Another was bending over to pickup a little baby blanket. That one dropped me to my knees and I had to be carted off in an ambulance.
