There are several remedies which may be administered to possibly help relieve lower back pain. You may try to take short rest periods, modify your daily activities (ex. sitting less, getting up from your chair every 30 minutes, etc.), staying active, heat/ice therapy, stretching (check out the McKenzie Method and Dynamic Lumbar Spine Stabilization), and low-impact aerobics (such as stationary bikes, step machines, and walking).
