Depends on what your back issues are and what ends up hurting. There is nothing wrong with riding FS on the street - put some slicks on and be happy. As long as you're not in a hurry there isn't much of a downside. That is if the jarring of bumps on the street is what is causing your pain. If it is riding position, then any number of bikes can fit that criteria.
fwiw my wife and I ride a FS tandem mountain bike. While we get it in the dirt from time to time, one of our regular rides is about a 10 mile trip from our house to the local farmers market. I can say that the FS certainly makes for a more comfy trip. And off-road, it is a magic carpet ride...
