Maybe you need to see a physiatrist conversant/competent in kinesiology.
You can apply to Mayo online here, but IMO you will do better getting a referral. Allow at least month for your case to be considered.

@bajjerfan Thank you for replying. I was referred to a physiatrist by my primary doctor, and saw him in July. After reviewing my imaging and the reports, then performing a physical exam, he basically shrugged his shoulders and referred me to a spine surgeon. And of course, the obligatory prescription for an anti-depressant that is also used for chronic pain was written. I took the medicine for about 4 weeks with no change to my pain levels at all, but all of the negative side-effects were there.
I'l check with my primary about getting a referral, thanks again.
