It's mostly a muscular problem. Take muscle relaxants, ice packs and Physiotherapy. If not relieved get an xray done and review with orthopaedic Surgeon

There are multiple reasons for Backpain. Thorough physical examination is the most important aspect of clinical work. Meet an Orthopedic surgeon near you and get checked.

It might be a simple spasm or may be you had some jerky movement or lifted heavy weight. You need to see if it is going down your legs also or localized to back only.
Next Steps
Give yourself a little rest and avoid lifting heavy weight. Better to consult with a pain management specialist
Health Tips
Can apply some topical painkiller like volini.
