Suggest Treatment For Swelling Of Chest Bone

There s a bone right below my chest, right above my stomach that swells up at times. When that happens it causes lots of pain. I hold it and stretch up and press down on it, then it cracks. Then the pain go away. That happens specialy when i bend my head down. It continually happens over and over many times a day. What can cause this and how can I treat it? I was thinking to see a chiropractor. Please Dr. What do you advise?
