While I don't have "chronic" back pain, I was recently in considerable
pain a few weeks ago.  My doctor recommended that I purchase "Stretching"
by Bob Anderson. It is published by Shelter Publications, Inc., of
Bolinas, CA, and lists for $8.95.  Its ISBN is 0-394-73874-8.  I've seen
it in many bookstores, usually in the Health section.

It contains a number of stretching excercises specifically for various
areas of the body, including the back.  It also, by the way, has
warm-up/cool-down stretches for many sports (including even walking).
