Back and core strength and conditioning exercises will work better. Try this for 4 to 6 weeks - https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/globalass...ehab_spine.pdf
It's a super programme and really works. Also see a sports massage therapist to aid the programme. I fractured 2 thoracic vertebra 4 years ago (I have never know pain like it) and this is what got me back to running. Strength and Conditioning is the key. Good luck and congratulation on your lifestyle change, that is brilliant.
I'll give this a whirl. I've had a problem for around 7-8 years now and never really done anything about it other than relief when it gets me.

I've found traction helps - so I hang from the staircase. It got me on holiday in France once, and I used the monkey bars on the kids play area to help.
