You should start with her Pediatrician, as backpain in an 11 year old is not that common. Often it is a simple bony abnormality, such as scoliosis. She should have an x-ray ordered by her pediatrician, who can refer to a specialist based on the results. I wouldn't worry too much, however. It is often nothing serious.
