Back Pain From Sitting Too Much

I have a job that keeps me at my computer most of the day. The problem is that if I don't get up from the desk often enough I will have pain in my lower back, butt and hips and even radiating down my legs. This is especially troublesome at night for some reason. I have been to therapists to treat this chronic pain, and also chiropractic. I have learned some exercises that do help, but I have to do them faithfully or the back pain just gets worse.
I didn't have this problem until I started sitting too much, so I think I am correct that this is the cause of the back pain and inflammation.
If anybody has a desk job, remember to take short breaks and walk around to prevent or control this chronic back inflammation.
