I have something similar. Doesn't hurt all the time like you but my back has gone out where it partially paralizes me for a moment.
First thing I learned: Never bend and twist- ever ever. That's what makes it "go out".
I've been to the chiro, maybe just my bad luck but the one I went to was a bit of a quack. Tried to sell me supplements and did some electro therapy that seemed to make it worse.
Out of everything the thing that worked best was "postitional release". You don't even need to see a chiro to get it, just find a good massage therapist who has experience doing it. What they do is position your body in different ways to stretch and relax. This greatly improves mobility.
The other thing you should do is take anti-inflamatories (aspirin, advil, aleve, etc- not tylenol) and use an ice pack- 15 minutes on, 15 minutes off. It's not comfortable, but the sting of the ice kind of takes away from the pain in your back.
And Date Doc gave some good advice. I wouldn;t start until you're in less pain, but there are a few yoga poses that really help the back. Cat pose, cat lift, and childs pose seem to help alot.
