It depends on what is causing the lower back pain, but I always recommend going to a chiropractor first. They can assess whether the problem is related to your spine, muscles, or discs. If it’s just a muscle issue, then soft tissue and massage work will significantly help. If the tight muscle or the muscle spasm is a symptom of nerve pressure, it will not resolve until that stress is relieved. You may be able to get the muscle to relax or feel better in the short term, but if you don’t address the root cause, it will continue to come back.
