Suggest Treatment For Constant Back Pain.

My son is 24 years old and very active and is not overweight. He has had flat feet all of his life. It became really noticable when he played football. The pants made it very obvious that his knees kind of turned in. He went to a doctor and got inserts for his shoes which seemed to help some but now he is suffering from constant back pain. I am just trying to figure out what kind of doctor I should take him to. Orthopedic, Back doctor or foot doctor.
