Tingling sensation in middle left lat/erector when standing

For the past few months now I have been feeling a tingling "pins and needles" type feeling in a small region of my middle left back. I've noticed that it comes and goes when I'm doing normal everyday activities like washing the dishes or washing my hair in the shower. Normally, it doesn't happen at all while I'm sitting, only standing. It basically feels like it goes numb for a bit, and doesn't go away until I sit down and rest my back up against something.

There isn't any pain associated with the tingling, so it's more of a nuisance than anything. I don't have the best posture because I sit all day long, however I do strength train 4-5 days a week consistently.

I'm wondering which type of doctor I should go to to get this checked out (I was thinking orthopedist), and what this could possibly be? I would guess it would have to be something with my hips and/or neck.
