Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Muscle: At your age, it is likely that your pain arises from the large paraspinal muscles that run alongside the spinous processes in the center of your spine. Alternatively, you may have pain from the facet joints of the spine, which are also to the right and left of midline. Conservative treatment, such as physical therapy and anti-inflammatory medications, should help, but if not, see a physician.
