Sorry you are going through such a tough decision but at least its NOT anxiety..hey?
The kind of chiros that manipulate the vertebrae (crunching kind) I personally would not go to...BUT.. the ones who do B.E.S.T technique which uses a finger at dfferent pressure points over the nerve bundles. They RELIEVE the pinched up nerves so that the electrical energy from the brain can pass through and correct sublaxations. Eventually your own body will MOVE itself into the best place it possible can.
Now thats MY version of how BEST tx saved my life and career after 20 years of being a mess. Chiro's have MORE training as they specialize in the spine and nerves. A "GOOD" one will be very very careful and NOT even promote their txs if you have nerve damage. OFten they CAN make you more mobile and get the muscles to stop spasms. BUT it takes a lot of treatments and YOU doing your part in not cancelling their treatment by returning to bad mattresses, poor posture, eating poorly, not reducing stressors. ITs a partnership for sure.
My chiro saved me, got me mobile after 20 years of problems. AND he'll say he's reached his limit or cannot help a person, therefore referring to other specialists. By the time my MIL went it was already "too late" as she had nerve damage, so she ended up having surgery after all.
Good luck in finding help, we love you and want you to find the best help out there.
