I'd suggest going to an orthopedic doctor, and find out what is really going on.
I'd suggest, further, that the ortho also have a certificate in sports medicine. My ortho has one, and also rides. My surgery went very well, and they ended my PT early.
I think that finding the source of the pain is the first step. A competent chiro can treat some injuries very effectively. There are things they can't help you with, and a good chiro should be up front with that.
