Yoga, regular exercise, hot showers, bubble bathes...are some things I would suggest.

I have scoliosis, I used to go to physical therapy, stretching is really helpful.

I am very big in Aromatherapy too, here are some blends that might help. I don't suggest if your using them as for a massage, that they be put directly onto skin without a carrier oil. For more information, feel free to PM me.

Best essential oils for back pain

The following essential oils can all be used to treat back pain naturally:

Chamomile oil helps to control muscle spasms and has pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties.

Lavender oil prevents muscle spasms and inflammation. It also helps to relieve tension, which may contribute to or worsen back pain.

Clary sage is a very soothing oil. It has a calming effect when one is anxious and muscles are tensed up from pain. It has anti-spasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties. Do not use clary sage if pregnant.

Yarrow has anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic properties.

Rosemary has analgesic and antispasmodic properties. It is also good for relieving back pain as it improves blood circulation.

Ginger oil can ease back pain and give one more mobility. Blend 1 tablespoon sweet oil, 4 drops wintergreen, 4 drops cardamom and 4 drops ginger oil to make a soothing massage oil.

Peppermint is good for muscle soreness.

Frankincense has anti-inflammatory properties and also acts as a mild sedative.

While you can use any of these oils on their own, it is also beneficial to blend two or more oils together. Do not apply essential oils directly on the skin - blend oils or combinations thereof with a carrier oil first. Optimal aromatherapy blends for relieving back pain include peppermint and rosemary, lavender and frankincense, and chamomile and clary sage.

Take an aromatherapy bath as an effective method to soothe tired, aching muscles and to increase circulation. Add eight to ten drops of essential oils directly to warm bath water and soak for fifteen to twenty minutes.

Going to see a chiropractor helps too.
stretches in the morning and night before you go to bed.
And NO running in the morning!

I lay down on my back when I wake up and stay that way until 15 mins roll by so that my back isnt "Soft" and wiggles out of place during the day.
( "Soft" meaning: When you go to sleep all your bones in your back and cartledge softens up so that your body can move and rest easier. When you wake up they are still "soft" and can pop out of place much much more easy, which can lead to very achy pains! ><)
Oh yeah and when you bend down to pick something up. DO NOT use your back, use your knees. Bend those knees even if it's something small like a teddy bear that fell onto the ground, this pose isn't just for heavy lifting!
