Suggest you visit either an MD or DO and have a proper exam of the area of concern. You could be experiencing what is termed notalgia paresthetica, a localized neuralgia over one shoulder blade, but this could represent a lingering area due to prior shingles. A chiropractor would not be expected to manage this.

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. You may have frozen shoulder. It is treatable. It would be prudent to see a doctor, preferably a rheumatologist.
