my son was injured playing football two years ago, he is now 17. Been unable to continue with most high school sports, we have been to orthopedics and chiropractors. Orthopedics had us do therapy, tried back injections, none of which has worked, has been on a work out therapy strengthing abdominal muscles, still has pain after walking long distance or some of the sports. Most of the information and research I have received really do not give options for under the age of 21. We have considered surgery almost as no option, but would like to know if this would be something that has been done successfully and to this age. He would like to play sports again, this being his junior year, want to know if there is anyone that may specialize in athletic back injuries for this age, and if sugery is something that we should consider. Again, this would be a last resort, but we are getting close to nothing else left to try, pls advise or if you can provide some contact information for this age.
Thanks
