I would not go to a chiropractor because in your condition, spinal manipulation could be dangerous.

These are the parts of your report that concern me:

"possible impingement on the existing roots." as well as "there is signal change"
I do have a Neurologist. He has not given me a firm diagnosis. The chiropractor does not do regular manipulations just uses an activator, ultrasound and tens and gentle stretching.
Thanks for your input.
