The trick is to harden your back muscles, so that they hold your spine firmly in place.

I had a spinal disc herniation 3 years ago, followed by back pain for a year after. Since a year, i have no more back problems, what helped is dead simple abdominal exercise every morning. I do every day 2-3mins of plank exercise https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plank_(exercise), it doesnt take long and can be done everywhere. When the pain comed back, i do the exercise 2 or 3 times a day.

I also go once a month to do Kinesiotherapy (i'm in France, its quite popular and reimbursed) but i've stopped since i'm healed.



It is about your abdominal muscles, not back. Abdominal muscles and glutes hold your spine in check.
