Should i see a orthopedic or a spine doctor first for my back pain?

Go to a spine clinic: The best approach to back pain is at multidisciplinary clinics where they have physiatrists (rehab), surgeons, and physical therapists--most people don't need surgery!

Neither: You first need to see your pcp to establish a proper diagnosis. If necessary you will be referred to the proper specialist.

Neither.: Back pain is a primary care issue. No need to see specialist unless surgery is indicated.
