Reducing the cost of back wellness is relative, in my opinion.  Generally speaking, common sense is often an excellent gauge for picking out things to do to manage your neck or  back pain.  And this may mean the solutions you'll come up with are free or at least low cost.

There are a number of other free or nearly free common sense options for low cost back care, as well.  Learning how to do common activities with good body mechanics comes to mind.  For example:

And for daily back wellness for which you're willing to pay a bit more (but will still likely save you money over the long haul), you might try a massage machine.

The uPixie is one such massage machine that soothes your back pain away at low cost. Plus it works by plugging it into your computer USB port, and you control everything right off the computer screen. It’s as small as a thumb drive but packed with lots of features! Even allows music synchronization massage!
