i've been suggested to see a chiropractor but neglecting it, my thinking that they use force without seeing exactly what an issue or problem may be. too risky since central nervous system is right there.
shoulders, upper back - i do push ups and pull ups.
search youtube for some exercises for your neck
for lower back i do different kinds of stretches borrowed from yoga. there could be various issues, for instance weak psoas muscle or sciatica (compressed spinal nerve root), osteoporosis, osteosclerosis - it all basically comes down to weak muscles/bones due to comfortably sitting all the time being laid back which removes any pressure from the lower back and degrades it.
with regular fitness and exercises you could start feeling better. just be careful and don't do any (extreme) weight lifting before you get in better shape and of course it's a good idea to consult a doctor.

this sounds exactly like sciatica, google it. also may be affected by weak psoas muscle.
all these back issues are signals that you need to get in better shape asap > thighs, hips, lower back, abs, upper back, chest, shoulders and neck. i'd recommend looking into yoga specifically into stretches and pilates.
good luck!
