Try pulling your trail foot back a bit so your stance is closed. But keep your shoulders square to slightly closed. Then, if you have a strong grip, weaken it to neutral and work on a swing that's more hands and arms oriented. A pivot-dominated swing isn't going to help your back. And work on getting your hands high in the backswing while letting your front heel come off the ground. A really good swing to look at is Rocco Mediate's move. Very back friendly.

As others posted, this is good for learning how to use the bounce with a wedge. For short-medium-long irons, a better option is to place the ball right in front of your lead foot and make solid contact. You'll learn to move your pressure properly, move your low point forward of the ball, extend down the target line a touch longer. Hit 3-4 of those and go back to your regular ball position and you won't believe how good your contact will be.
