Hello, spine and back problems need a detailed assessment. Please get a formal evaluation done. However, looking at your symptoms and the degree of severity being assumed as mild, because you have described it as some back pain, you might benefit with back and abdominal exercises. But yes, you need to consult a spine or an orthopedic surgeon for the same before you proceed with the rehab program. Hope this helps

Mostly improper posture and inadequate exercises leads to lumbar disc degeneration which could be the cause for this. Need more history for further management
