Diagnosis

Something in your back has probably caused your brain to make pain. Research shows that you do not need to aim treatment at this thing to recover. 

Many health professionals try to say exactly what is causing your back pain. This usually fits with a type of treatment they provide. This can make you focus on only part of the problem. If you visit another professional they will probably give you a different diagnosis.

X-rays are not useful for back pain. They do not help decide what is wrong or what to do. They also expose you to a lot of radiation.
