Osteopathy: 39 yo seeks help "assessing" back pain. Back pain begotten from mundane injuries is best diagnosed by an Osteopath. If the work-up discovers problem amenable to surgical intervention, referral can be made to Orthopedic surgeon. Soft tissue disorders comprise significant portion of cases & Alternative/Natural Therapies are efficacious. See comments:
