Hi dear, I have understood your concern and I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

If she is having tightness feeling of uterus also along with the backache, then I will suggest that she should contact her treating gynecologist at the earliest.

If there is backache only , she can take tablet paracetamol as needed, it's quite safe in pregnancy. Application of local pain reliever ointment can be of help.
Secondly, I will suggest that she should adopt correct posture and start some basic exercise regimen. this will help to reduce back pain.
Also, please ensure that she is having Iron and Calcium supplements on daily basis.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks.
