Work on diet first before exercise.
PUFA fats (polyunsaturated fatty acids) are known to be pro-inflammatory. Cut them out entirely -- this means no soybean oil, corn oil, canola oil or any of that crap. Ghee, butter (grass fed is best) or coconut oil when you cook at home, and ask restaurants to cook in butter when possible.
Be aware of things your specific body considers toxic: wheat (/gluten), beans (lectins) and other things that can cause autoimmune disorders and inflammatory responses to them.
Get tested for allergies and remove those allergens from your house.
In my experience, I've helped more than a few people reduce back problems with diet.
The second biggest cause for back problems, again in my anecdotal experience, is stress. High cortisol levels can create sciatica-like pains. Are you sleeping a full 8-9 hours a night? If not, do so.
Low stress, low-inflammatory/toxic diet, you should be good as new.
