I have the same issue every couple of years and I regularly visit a chiropractor.
What works for me? Robaxacet platinum.
Other than that, try using a cold pack for the first 3-4 days and then use heat. You can even alternate between the two.
It's just rest that gets my back back into working order. But I won't kid you. It's going to take the better part of a week or longer to get better.

Best of luck.
