Best Answer

Yes, but you're better off either going to a Neurosurgeon or a Pain Specialist, and of those 2 a Pain Specialist is the preferred option depending on the type of pain.

If you've not been diagnosed yet, then see the Neurosurgeon first - he'll do an MRI or CT and give you a better diagnosis than a Neurologist will as they deal with most back problems on a regular basis. It doesn't make any difference if you don't want or need surgery - the point is to get the best diagnosis in the beginning. Stay away from Orthopedists - bone doctors don't know anything when it comes to spinal nerve issues.
