Several years ago I sustained a lengthly and rather painfull back injury. Ever since then I have experienced back pain almost daily.
In more extreme cases you will never get rid of it, however many steps can be made to relieve it.
In my own experience, I have found swimming to be very helpfull, as well as a regular routine of weight training. Sit-ups with some extra weight on your chest, incline sit-ups, bench press, etc. The trick isnt to try and lift a lot of weight (as you'll simply aggrivate an injury), just lots of repititions. Low impact activities like long walks also help.
If you're back pain becomes accute, or simply doesnt go away you really ought to see your doctor. It can and lead to further complications.
