Your primary healthcare provider is often able to determine the cause and diagnose your back pain. If needed, they’ll send you to a specialist and/or order tests. Possible specialists include:

• A physical therapist.
• An osteopath.
• A chiropractor.
• A medical spine provider who specializes in back pain.
• An orthopaedic provider who specializes in bones and joints.

Your healthcare provider may also recommend a therapist or psychiatrist if you’re struggling to cope with your pain.
