A member asked:
My son is 12yrs old. he has complained about his back for months but not as serious as this week. i suspect his heavy school bag has something to do with it as his class is on the 2nd floor in 2018. what type of doctor should i take him to be xrays?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Primary care: This is a common issue for kids and often seen by general pediatricians or GP's. It may or may not be worth the exposure of his whole spine (and body) to x-rays.
