Chrio or not : A chiropractor may certainly be able to help. However, the described symptoms in a female who is in her 50's can be due to non-chiropractic issues which your regular doctor can readily assess for, rule out, and then recommend the most appropriate therapy for you.

Chiropractor: The back pain can be caused by muscle strain, spinal stenosis, ruptured disc, nerve impingement ... The treatment depends on the cause of the pain. If you need an adjustment or soft tissue treatment, chiropractic therapy is good. If you pain is not improved, you can go to see a pain management doctor.
