Should I see a physiatrist for my chronic back pain?

I'm 19, and I have chronic back pain after an injury from one of my flag football games. It's been over a few months since the injury. Should I see a physiatrist to help me manage my back pain?

You could see a physiatrist. I recommend you see your primary care physician and get a prescription to see a physical therapist. They can put you on a program to reduce your pain and balance your strengths and weaknesses.
