Your lower back is part of your core. The best thing to do is not only strengthen your lower back, but your abs as well.
Get a Swiss Ball and exercise mat. For your lower back do back extensions, Swiss ball supermans, Swiss Ball trunk extensions, twisting Swiss Ball extensions (sometimes called twisting trunk extensions), and Swiss ball opposite limb extensions. For abs do crunches, planks, transverse abs Swill ball rolls, abdominal vacuums, side bridges, and bicycles.
You only need to workout your core for 10-15 minutes three time a week, so pick a couple of lower back exercises, and one abs exercise for each area of the abs. E.g., upper abs: crunches, lower abs: bicycles, obliques: side bridge (and bicycles), transverse abs: abdominal vacuum or transverse abs Swill ball rolls. Do two sets of about 15 reps of each exercise.
It is important to vary your core exercises frequently. Do not do the same exercises for more than three weeks. This will stop your body from adjusting to your workout and capping your gains.

Pilates or yoga. Teaches you had to engage your core strength and makes your back stronger as well as your abs, neck etc.

My first question would be how injured is it? Does it still hurt? Be very careful that exercises aren’t done while your injury is still fresh. You’ll want it to heal before exercising it, then you can begin slowly, otherwise you will only re-injur it.
Type into your search engine “low back exercises” and you’ll find all that you need and more.

Purchase a stability ball. They come with DVD’s and will teach you core exercises this is an amazing tool. They use them in rehab all the time. Good luck and feel better
