Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Neck And Arm

I have pain in my neck and right arm. The pain is relieved when I rest my right hand on my head. It feels like my right shoulder can not relax and my right shoulder is higher than my left. What is causing the pain and what shoud I do its been going on for 2 weeks and the pain is not getting better. I went to my chiropractor and it has not helped very much. He says that I have a swollen joint in my neck.
