If you haven't tried it already, given that you also have lower back pain, try a posturologist, if you can find one... It's hard to find much info/practitioners. I'm also not sure how legit some are. Usually I would avoid non-conventional treatments (though I have been taken by family to everything from osteopaths to chinese medicine practitioners), but previously similar fields (e.g. chiropractors) had sort of helped, so I went. It has literally changed my life. I had chronic headaches since I learned how to speak (they were not so often then). Me and my family had tried everything. I had progressed to the point where it was 24/7 pain, highly depressed, could not work/go to university. Within the month my pain was down 25%, within a year I was 50% better overall, no more 24/7 pain, started studying. Now I'm about to graduate. I still go once a month but am 90% better. I'm also not downing pills like crazy. I was on 3-4 a week (this was just to numb the bad episodes), now down to 2-3 a month (mostly due to me overexerting myself).
It does not work for everyone (it helped some family members with back pain but not others or not immediately so they stopped going), but can't hurt to try. It is very similar to going to a chiropractor but "softer" is how I would describe it. There is not as much cracking and popping. Half is stretches. There's lots of checking specific points for pain, also the whole body is looked at. And unlike chiropractors or massage therapists there is a noticeable change in mobility and posture and other things (for me decreased light sensitivity) after a visit.
