Welcome @pgalloway17. I'd like to introduce you to a few members who can share their experiences with back problems in the cervical and lumbar regions. Please meet @sandytoes14 @cowboy1997 @werock @srobison @medic7054 and @predictable.

Pgalloway, has your son been to a pain clinic? What treatment with which doctors has he had?

He has seen many ortho doctors, chiropractors, pain doctor. Before we knew about the atlas being misaligned, we believed it was the SI joint out of alignment. He has had many shots in his lower back with no improvement. Including but not limited to prolotherapy and cortisone, steroid. More recently we started treating for the upper cervical with a chiropractor who told my son his atlas was out of alignment and he put it back in place. We expected the rest of his body to relax and realign. It has been a couple of months now and there are no improvements.
