Ribose has no role in treating lower back pain. For this purpose, you have to consult your doctor to prescribe the suitable treatment for your case. However, you can benefit from rest, cold compression, topical analgesics such as Voltaren and over the counter analgesics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
