See hand surgeon: This sounds like a form of writer's cramp. A chiropractor has no way to modify this at all. You need to see a specialist on hands which might also be an orthopod or a plastic surgeon with hand specialty. They can advise you if there is something wrong, and also suggest physical therapy if it is a cramping situation.
