Consult an orthopedician for back pain starting from lower back since it looks like a disc prolapse.
For uncontrollable urination she will need few urine and blood tests based on history and evaluation by a General physician.

Since when is this? Any history of trauma or fall recently? If like that she should see an orthopaedic surgeon soon and get an x-ray or CT scan done to see if any nerve injury is causing the bladder incontinence.
Suggest you to visit hospital for complete evaluation

Lower back pain radiating to the legs sounds like ? sciatica which can be treated by an orthopedic surgeon.
Uncontrollable urination could be between diabetes or to a simple urinary tract infection (UTI) or even an uro/gynecological problem.
May I suggest you to consult a general physician who may treat both the conditions assuming the commonest ones which may need some basic tests and depending on the test results he/she will rightly choose the treatment or refer if needed
Next Steps
Please let us know the duration and other symptoms. See a nearby doctor incase of fever, decreased blood pressure etc.
Health Tips
Avoid bending activities/lifting heavy weights.
Always use a chair with back support/ when seated foot should be rested on the floors.
