There isn't a one size fits all with CLBP...spine stabilization excercises / stretching / and weight loss are key. Meds help, but not are not a long term fix. The stronger your abdominal muscles and better our posture are (and less overhang you have in front), the less exaggeration you will have in the curve of your lower back.
If you have other symptoms, numbness, tingling below your knee, shooting pains into your foot or that wrap around your calf...you may need an MRI to rule out a nerve compression syndrome from an HNP or "slipped disk".
There are ROOMS full of texts on CLBP...all have similarities, but no two are the same.
