Back pain can be caused by so many things that what works for one person will likely not work for another. However, here is something that helped end my back problems which were of a type that may be fairly common in North America:
When bending over, whether it's to pick something up from the ground or to wash your hands in the sink, bend from the hips while keeping your back arched. Do not roll your spine forwards. If you lack the flexibility to reach your aim, make up the difference by bending your knees. Your flexibility should improve with time.
It was through hacker news that I found an article similar to the following:

Scrupulously correct form when rowing and weight lifting plus special stretching exercises devised by a chiropractor did not help me. Changing how I bend when shaving or picking things up from the ground did. If you have back problems, pay attention to how you bend.
