Not usually: Most common structural cause of back pain in adolescent is spondylolysis of usually L5. Treatment is usually rest from significant physical activity, sometimes physical therapy, nonsteroidal inflammatory medications, sometimes epidural steroid injection. You should consult orthopedic physician.
