See if you can raise your handlebars at all- ask your bike shop if they can put in spacers to raise it up.
Ride 15 or 20 mile rides more frequently to try to build up your core muscles.

Or instead of spacers, as posted previously, a headset with a steeper angle (not a shorter headset, as my LBS mechanic explained)....

I have good flexibility but I've had to lay off this week because of pain between the small of the back and my hip. I've been to the chiropractor and massage therapist this week. I did a short ride yesterday but I just couldn't get it together.
I am hoping to go on a long ride either Saturday or Sunday. I'm hoping it works out.
