A lot of patients come into our clinic suffering from what they call "a bad back". After careful examination, and possible x-ray, a chiropractor can relieve pressure placed on the spine in a number of ways, including a new procedure called "spinal decompression".
We searched online for information about "The Causes of Low Back Pain". On MedicineNet.com there is a lot of facts including photos, and slideshow, details about sciatica nerve pain, and what you can do to treat the pain. You can see those entries here: low back pain
You can relieve a lot of back pain with simple stretches. One the web site DoctorYourself, I found a page on back pain, and stretches you can do at home. Check that out here: (Link: Stretches for your back) : stretches for your back
Time magazine published (4.25.2011) an article and video entitled, "Tips for treating your back pain. Time article: ( tips for treating back pain)
And WebMD has a feature entitled, "America Asks About Back Pain" - 12 Ways to Improve Back Pain", which I found to be very informative. In the article, Mary Ann Wilmarth, DPT, chief of physical therapy at Harvard University, says it it is critical that people address any back pain or injury right away. “Early intervention can help prevent a chronic problem from developing and obviate the need for medication and surgery."

Some patients go from doubled over to playing sports in just a few treatments. If you still aren't sure if decompression works, look at what WebMD said about it: about spinal decompression
There is a nice video posted on YouTube that shows how decompression works. (Video time: 6:23)
