Where in back?
I did exactly that about a year ago and today it's entirely cleaned up. I used regular glute bridges and was just generally careful with it while doing bar core work, and then actually did some light deadlifts to strengthen the lower back after a while.

Mainly because it felt less stressful on the spine but required quite a bit of muscular tension, especially to stay balanced.Also second the not falling off bouldering, I did a lot of route climbing when mine was bad and weirdly taking big lead whips seemed to help it. I can't say I'd recommend it though.
