Start with GP: Your local GP can start the process with any initial testing that may be useful. They will also know who/what/where there are other resources in your region to have any other work done.

Hi, I have been having lower back pain. It varies from a dull burning to a sharp pain depending on how I move (pain is more to the right). Do I go direct to a chiro or a GP first? I was at a chiro a month ago, but it hasn't seemed to solve it fully.

My husband has started complaining of lower back pain and testicular pain. He says that it comes and goes. He does need new orthotics and not sure if it could be linked at all. Can he be checked out by a GP for this?
