Chances are the impacts from CX racing are not causing your back pain. Work on increasing your back, hamstring and general flexibility. Core strength is also very important. The countless accelerations in cross racing can quickly fatigue your back and cause the pain. Also, many racers run their saddle height slightly lower than their road fit. Give that a try.
