What Causes Intermittent Pain In The Back Despite Taking Medication?

hello, my daughter is 16 years old, healthy energenic girl. her main physical activity is martial arts. She has complained of backache off and on for a month or so. She recently started working at McDonalds and there is some lifting involved. She also carries a fairly heavy backpack for school. she says the pain is not localized in any one spot. Pretty much her entire back. Advil relieves the pain temporarily but then its back. I think it could be the weight from her backpack and boxes at work. Is there something better I can give her? Do her symptoms need to looked at urgently? How about a chiropractor, would that be something we should look into? We don t have health insurance so I can run from Dr. to Dr.
