There are techniques for back exercises that can go a long way to cure sprains and tears. It's important to deal with them... If they are left untreated they can quickly turn into chronic back pain.

1. Do some gentle stretches... don't "bounce" into them, that can make your problems worse and even tear muscles and ligaments that were fine before. Ease into the stretch and hold for several seconds. Do this several times a day and before long, you will start to notice a decrease in back pain and you'll have far more strength and flexibility.

Stretching has the added benefit of making you less susceptible to getting injured in the future. It's one of the easiest proactive techniques for back pain relief.

2. Start a formal back exercise program... Once you are done stretching and limbering up, there are structured exercise workouts that will address your specific problem. These exercises aren't difficult and as techniques for back pain relief, they work faster than you may think.

3. Look into getting a professional massage... Massage therapy has come a long way in the recent past... there are many types of massage and each has it's benefits and drawbacks depending on the type of injury you have.

I have had back pain for 20+ years, I would go to sleep expecting to rest but when I wake up in the morning I felt like I hadn't rested at all. Through my friend I got amazing treatment for back pain https://mybackpaincoach.wordpress.com/, after the first two treatments, I felt enormous relief… it was unbelievable!

Anyone I have ever known who has been to a registered chiropractor has ended up worse instead of better. In my experience, finding an RMT who is also an experienced osteopath is a much better option. You'll effectively get two treatments in one, and it's very helpful for various types of chronic pain throughout the body. It's also a much more feasible option for those who can't handle big adjustments, as the osteopath can manipulate and stretch muscles in a more gentle way.

ETA: Also, Prolozone is a very effective alternative therapy for chronic pain that not many people know about. The injections can be painful, but very helpful.

TYFS. Core-strengthening has helped quite well for me too. Piriformis stretches too.
