I would definitely not go to a Chiropractor until you've seen a specialist, spine, orthopedic surgeon etc, not sure which one is best but until you know exactly what treatment you need, you could make it much worse.

Go to your Dr. and she/he should refer you to the right place.

The pain can be so terrible, I was hurt 9 months ago, injuries including whiplash, now my neck is so painful 24/7 and the pain has gone to my back.

Good luck and don't do any treatment until a specialist has seen you and the MRI results.
