depends on what kind of pain it is... if it is muscular, it might help... if is is spinal, it could do more harm than good.

Before anything else make sure that you're not slouching when you sit (esp at computer), and make sure you're sleeping ONLY on your back or side. Never the stomach. fixing both of those eliminated, almost overnight, years of back pain.
Frankly I'd be very surprised if a vibrating chair does a damn thing for back pain. It's a deep rooted pain; you can't fix it by shaking the back a little bit in some chair you buy at brookstone.

slouching while i sit is something i've been trying to correct. fortunately, i've been making a concious effort to sit up straight and walk un-slouched.
as far as sleeping on my back, that's tough because i toss and turn so much during the night. also, i snore so loud when sleeping on my back, that i've sort of trained myself to sleep on my stomach 🙁 perhaps i should try to change again 🙂
A lot of people do a lot of lifting with their backs, but hardly use the antagonist muscles (abs). Having an unbalance of muscle to antagonist can cause all kinds of problems like charlie horses, loss of range of motion, cramps, back pain. Try some crunches, or flex your abs once in a while to balance them out with your back muscles.

My mom had some back trouble and would have needed surgery, my dad and her started sleeping on the floor and she didn't need it anymore
It helps flatten the back out a little

hmm....maybe i'll try sleeping on the floor for a few nights.
funny side story: my grandmother (korean) is so used to sleeping on the floor. her bed actually has a wooden board on it to simulate the hard floor. when i was younger, i remember running into her room during the day to jump on the bed. i was greeted by a faceful of wooden board and remembered never to jump on her bed again 😛

Right now both my mom and dad are having back troubles. My dad has a pinched nerve along the lower vertebrat. Getting up or sitting down hurts the worst for him. It seems to be the transition. So far he has had anti inflamatory meds, chiropractor, exercise, cortisone shots.....to no avail. It hurts him in the morning the most and slowly gets better later during the day.
As for my mom, she needs to loose a bit of weight probably....she isn't too overweight but still she sits a lot and slumps over while doing paper work.

Slouching and stomach - that's almost certainly the route of your problem. Try sleeping on the floor. I do it sometimes, and prop pillows under your legs to keep your low back flush against the floor. It's not comfortable but you'll be shocked how much better your back is in the morning, if it's anything like mine.
