Can a primary care doctor administrator a cortisone shot in my spine, or do i need to go to orthopedic doctor?

Depends on what-: -needs to be injected. Trigger points are injected into muscle & is superficial, so your primary doc can do it. Facets, epidural, or around the boney spine, see a specialist.
