Lower back problems, is there anything to help? A back brace?

Hi all,
I know this may not be the right category but it seemed the best, I cycled all my life but in the last three months taken up road cycling with a proper road bike and now I am getting some lower back problems, I can feel it constantly, not bad but it is there. I am mainly concerned as I am 19 and not something you hear about often. I went to a doctor who gave me some stretches and said heat treatment or massages may help it. I was wondering if any of you had this problem and what you do to help it?
I have also looked at a back-brace and would like to know if anyone has tried it and as stupid as it sounds, does it actually help?
Thanks,
Sam
