U ll have to get an x ray spine for the diagnosis.. Anyways spina bifida occulta is just an incidental finding unless there is a family history and u screen at birth..Again, Spina bifida will not cause backache.. U ll have to get clinically examined by an orthopaedician along with xrays +/-MRI to make a diagnosis and then institute treatment
