Amanda, You may have arthritis there and I don't think I would use a chiropractor for that. If you can take Advil, do so while adding moist heat to affected area. See if this helps before doing anything else. This was advice from my doctors about my neck and it really helps. If not, try a therapist (that is not a pain nazi). You should ask your doc for a specific therapist for this area of pain. Janice
