Chiropractic?

Go to your Primary Doctor?
This is good option to rule out serious disease processes that can create pain. Please be advised that not all medical doctors have the training to accurately diagnose many joint and muscle conditions that we routinely treat. Medication is useful to control pain and inflammation, and in some conditions it should be used before other forms of treatment are attempted. Medical doctors refer to us for gentle and effective follow up treatment to resolve the joint or muscle problem creating your pain.
Physical Therapy?
Physical Therapy is great for rehabilitaton and conditioning, and works great in conjunction with chiropractic treatment.
However "Manual therapy (Chiropractic) scored better than physical therapy on all outcome measures"– Hoving et al (2002), Annals of Internal Medicine
