How Can severe Pain In The Upper Back And Shoulder Be Treated?

I have been having severe back pain upper back, by shoulder blades, over the past three months it has happened 2-3 times, where I have to lay in bed because of pain and it usually lasts for several days! I have tried heat, ice and a muscle anti inflammatory, do you have any ideas what this is? What kind of doctor do you recommend, chiropractor, orthopedic, or family physician?
