Suggest Remedy For Severe Back Pains

I recently went for a CT scan for a colon problem, but mentioned to my specialist that I have severe back ache.
Upon receipt of the radiology report, it read as follows:
Bilateral pars defects are present at the L5 level with no significant spondylolisthesis at this level currently. There is however, uncovering of the L5/S1 intervertebral disc.
The pain has been getting more and more severe and it is at its worst after spending two hours on my feet, or after a night’s rest.
Please could you tell me who is the right kind of specialist to see wrt this problem.
