What helped me... (Weak / painful lower back)
Ok I am not a Dr at all but would like to tell people what helped me and maybe help a few people.
I am 25 and have had lower back problems for about 7 years since I hada a pushbike accident, I jarred my back after going off a HUGE drop accidently on my pushbike and landing sat on the seat jarring my back up.
Some days I couldnt even stand up my back would just collapse on me it was very scary. The Dr said the muscles between my lower vertabre were in spasm and tried lots of therapies including electrosis pads with not much effect.
I find that RUNNING / JOGGING sorts my back out 100%, after just one run ( I run about 5km - 7km ), even at a slow pace I can feel the difference. My back does ache whilst Im running but the next morning its SO much better. I really hated running and still dont really enjoy it but its a small price to pay for a good strong back 
As I said I'm no Dr and don't know alot about the human body just hoped to help some people out...

be impeccable with your word..
I could not image running/jogging at any level - I can barely handle WALKING lol
But I too am happy it works for you
Ms. Humpty Dumpty Took a great fall. L1-L2-L3-L4 - S1 & S2 full herniations. Spinal stenosis, spinal arthritis, degenerative disk, scoliosis. Knees, hips & spine have degenerative bone disease, arthritis and bone spurs. Age 49 - Here to find & offer support. Had bilateral knee replacement surgery done March 15th, 2011
is something that I really believe most doctors will tell their Spinal patients NOT to do.
Especially anyone with potential disc or nerve problems.
Perhaps with some minor muscle problems, some light running may help.
There has been enough written on the negative effects that jogging has on the spine.

I never could run...
My knobby knees would get all tangled up with each other and I'd trip all over myself...
But that's just me.... (I hope)

Don't get your knickers in a knot; it solves nothing and makes you walk funny.
