Exercise didn't help me with my occasional back issues, but switching to a standing desk really did. I didn't get one of those adjustable ones, because $400 for a desk that raises and lowers was silly--instead I just got a draft-height chair and stand and sit as appropriate.

At some point, I decided I wasn't even going to bother with a chair. Every time I sit on the tall chair at work, I'm just Not Productive compared to standing.
fwiw, they make drafting stool aeron high-chairs. protip: buy one used, because the new price is high even for HM.
You can also buy high bases for existing Aeron chairs. I use a knock-off, though.
