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).
