I've had decades of lower back pain, herniated discs, injections, etc.
The science I've seen work for me is to build a more balanced body. In cycling we are commonly quad dominant and hyper mobile in the lower back, at the expense of mid/upper back flexibility and glute / core strength. I've seen benefit from programmes of physio and pilates that target those areas. Is it a 'cure', no way. Does it mean confidence that body won't let me down, very much yes.
