Preferably consult an orthopedician. A general physician can help you rule out the cause of pain. If it's skeletal or intervertebral disc related he may refer you to an orthopedic doctor.

For Neck and Back pain, u can consult a physician first, basic evaluation will be done with neuro examination and few basic blood tests to find out the cause.

If the pain is radical, that means from the roots of the nerve, then consult an orthopedic.

Hi — that’s a very good and common question. The right choice actually depends on the cause and nature of your pain, so let’s clear it up for you When to consult a General Physician first If your neck or back pain is mild, recent, or related to posture, stress, or long hours of sitting/working, it’s best to start with a General Physician. They can: Rule out vitamin D or B12 deficiency (common cause of muscle pain) Check for fever, infection, or inflammation (like viral myalgia) Prescribe pain relief, posture correction, and basic physiotherapy guidance If your pain is muscular, nerve-related, or posture-induced, a physician can manage it completely without needing X-rays or costly scans initially. When to see an Orthopaedic specialist Go directly to an Orthopaedic doctor if you have any of the following: Pain radiating to arm or leg (sciatica or cervical radiculopathy) Numbness, tingling, or weakness History of injury, fall, or heavy lifting Pain persisting >2 weeks despite medicines They may suggest an X-ray or MRI if a disc or joint problem is suspected, and guide you on physical therapy or specific exercises. Initial care you can start now Avoid long sitting; take a break every 30–40 minutes. Use a firm mattress and correct posture. Apply a muscle relaxant gel (like Volini or Moov) and do warm compress 2–3 times/day. Tablet Paracetamol 500 mg as needed for pain. Gentle neck and back stretching once pain starts improving. My suggestion Since your symptoms are not yet described in detail (whether radiating, dull, or sharp), I can help you identify whether it’s a postural, nerve, or disc-related issue and guide you on the exact next step — whether physiotherapy, MRI, or medicines are really required. You can message me directly on WhatsApp at nine three two six zero two zero five three six — share your exact pain location (photo or diagram) and I’ll tell you which specialist you actually need, along with a simple home + medicine plan to relieve pain faster.

There are specialised pain physicians available in most cities. Next best help would be from orthopedicians. Before you visit them kindly get a basic blood panel with vitamin D, calcium levels done. Try changing the pillows and beddings for atleast 2-3 weeks. Try basic physiotherapy to see if it helps temporarily.
