Hello..... Lower back pain could be due to paraspinal muscle spasm , intervertibral disc bulge or herniation,damaged bone or ligament,radiculopathy ( small nerve root irrigation) ..it s not possible to comment without x ray ,MRI, ... Improper posture while working or sleeping can also aggravate back pain consult orthopedic surgeon
Ceasing activity for a few days allows injured tissue and even nerve roots to begin to heal, Heat and/or cold therapy helps relieve most types of low back pain by reducing inflammation. use pain killer when required. In your case it could be IVDP.
