What Causes Pain On Neck, Shoulder And Back?

I am 60 years old and have been having pain in the right side of my neck for a couple of months. I went to a chiropractor and he put my neck in place, which did not help. I now feel the pain occasionally in my shoulder blade and into my back. Should I see a doctor?

you must visit a doctor i would suggest you to get an X-rays done for your cervical spine. and is there any numbness down to the arm? if yes then there may be nerve compression too and do you feel gidiness? coming to the treatment plan apply hot pack on your neck and shoulder blade for 15 mins. and get the physiotherapy done IFT,ULTRASONIC THERAPY AND LASER THERAPY will helps you alot. Once the pain subsides start doing neck isometrics,shoulder shrugging, neck stretching.
most important use good pillow make sure your head should not sink/dig into pillow ,pillow should be firm,and your head and neck level should be straight.
always take a side turn while getting up from the bed and get up slowly no quick movements,avoid forward bending,lifting heavy weights and carrying heavy bags till your pain 100% subsides
