I have intense pain in my lower back that I have gone to a Chiropractor for, but it isn’t helping. Lately when I do sit ups a sharp pain accures when I hit a certain angle. I need a non surgical approach because I want to go into the marine corp. Would stretching and excercise do the trick by building up my back muscles? Or is it my spine?

Chiro can help very much, but, if is a muscle problem why not go first see a specialist, like an Orthopedist and then see what he refers you to. Let them do some test on you to be sure of what is the problem, here you can find quick solutions but what if is something serious. You can strengthen your core to help the muscle in your back, but again if is something serious, you can get hurt badly.
Have you tried a therapeutic massage? again it could be muscle spasm, trigger points, adhesion, things that they can work and get rid of, but they need to know if test had been done on you.
Heres a site where you can view the muscles of the back & you can see how they are connected to one another.
Good luck and feel better ^i^
