A few notes: Chiropractic is the teaching that all body ailments can be traced to imbalances in the energies of the of the body all of which pass through the neck - hence, they are always adjusting backs - whether it's for kidney stones or colon cancer or heart disease or .... you get the idea.
There are "scientific" chiropracters which do not believe in this basic premise any more, and are really just physical therapists. If a phyical therapist hasn't helped you it's unlikely a chiropracter will. Take the above advice about seeing an orthopod.
Finally, because chiropracters adjust necks rather, shall we say, abruptly the injury rate is not insignificant - there are even reports of torn arteries (that go to the brain) - ouch!
