Chiropractors may help. He x-rayed said I had a tight pulled muscle. He poked and beat and vibrated thing all over. No help. The pain was ok while standing and walking but lying down was unreal pain in my left leg and lower back. I had a MRI it showed a herniated disk #4. a x-ray wont show a bulging or herniated disk. I had surgery a year ago and still have some pain. Take care of your self and good luck with your back.
