whats do you call a back doctor?

A Neurologist would be a good start; or an orthopedist.

Unfortunately most of us are going to get back pain sooner or later, it was the price we paid for walking upright. You are right X-Rays are not likely to help. They are of such little use that The Royal College of Radiologists advises GPs not to carry them out for back pain, unless the presentation suggests the sort of progressive neurological changes which make spinal tumour a concern. This is because a Lumbo sacral spine X- ray series is equivalent to 17 chest X-rays, a not inconsiderable amount of radiation.

About 99% of all patients with back pain are going to end up with pain relief and physio as total management.

There is far too little in the question to identify any ' red flags ' without these generally back pain is not investigated. Unless any are identified by your doctor, there is little indication to take things further.

starting with a family practice MD is a good start. She would have to start with plain films. If some finding, then maybe physical therapy, meds, etc. If nothing show but problem still there, perhaps and MRI or lab work to r/o rheumatological problems. If any findings on MRI, then maybe neurosurgery or neurology depending on findings. If any findings in lab work, the maybe rheumatology.

I hope this helps clarify. Good luck!

An osteopath deals with back muscle problems,chiropractor deals with bone/spinal problems.They are expensive though so maybe a session or so of physio may find a solution,good luck,I'm having physio at the moment on my back.

everyone has told you now so you dont need to hear it another 15 times from me.
