Runner training for teen with back pain

Our 13-year-old has been trying to correct his feet positioning to attempt to help with his pain. He has been experiencing back pain for about two years. He is quite active — bicycling, swimming, and playing basketball. When he runs he has pain in his back.

When he was younger he had bow legs and duck feet. The bow leggedness has since corrected itself but the feet are still askew, one a little more pronounced than the other. His general doctors we've seen have said he is healthy, but to keep an eye on the issues.

We are looking for someone who might be able to help him with his running - trainers, doctors, specialists, etc.. I believe he needs help with his feet positioning primarily, just from what I've seen. We appreciate any constructive input or leads on a trainer or ideas on what might be happening.
