Back pain is an elusive condition. Your standard Vet will prescribe meds for pain and muscle relax as well as crate rest. Most vets jump to the conclusion that this is a disc problem. Most cases it is not a disc problem and so the meds and crate rest will not fix the problem.
The most common cause is subluxation of spinal bones causing nerve pinching. Animal Chiropractors are the perfect doctor for this most common problem. You should always ask if the chiropractor is certified by the AVCA or IVCA.
