Shouldn't: It's always advisable to have a proper diagnosis before any type of therapy is prescribed. Constant upper and lower back pain at your age is unusual and concerning. You may be dealing with an inflammatory or autoimmune process rather than inadequate spinal architecture, poor posture,bad mattress, Consult a spine specialist, orthopedic specialist or rheumatologist. Appropriate testing will be done.
