Several doctors: Can help including spine specialist: (neurosurgery or orthopedic spine surgeon), neurologist, physical medicine and rehab, chiropractor, and interventional pain management. But i would make sure to see the first two if weakness present or herniated discs on mri.

Pain doctor: Need to start with a pain management doctor first to get exercise recs. Chiropractor might also give you good advice and relief.
