Best doctor for lower back pain and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome care?

Hi,
For a low back pain, I recommend you to go to your general practitioner. He will be the best to determine whether your pain is a common one a need physiotherapy (95% of the cases) or whether you need further examination (5%).
FOr Elher Danlos syndrome, I recommend you to see a doctor specialized in internal medicine.

I hope this answers to your questions.

For lower back pain, the best type of doctor depends on the cause and severity of your pain:
• Primary Care Physician (PCP) – A good starting point. They can evaluate your pain and refer you to a specialist if needed.
• Orthopedic Doctor – Specializes in bones, joints, and muscles. Good for structural issues like herniated discs or degenerative disc disease.
• Neurologist – Best for nerve-related pain, such as sciatica or spinal stenosis.
• Pain Management Specialist – Often an anesthesiologist with expertise in treating chronic pain with injections, medications, or other treatments.
• Physical Therapist (PT) – While ...not a doctor, PTs can help with rehabilitation and strengthening to relieve pain.
• Chiropractor – Can help with spinal alignment and muscle tension but should be approached with caution if you have underlying conditions like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS).

For Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), the best doctors to see are:
• Geneticist – EDS is a genetic disorder, and a geneticist can provide a diagnosis and subtype classification.
• Rheumatologist – Often manages EDS symptoms related to joint pain and hypermobility.
• Cardiologist – Important if you have vascular EDS or symptoms like POTS (common in hypermobile EDS).
• Physiatrist (Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Doctor) – Helps with pain management and mobility issues.
• Pain Management Specialist – Can provide treatments to help with chronic pain.
• Physical Therapist (EDS-aware) – Helps with strengthening and stabilizing joints safely.

Your lower back pain is highly likely a direct consequence of Ehler-Danlos Syndrome. For wich physiotherapy is greatly indicated. I suggest you to ask advise about physiotherapy to your rheumatologist.
