Suggest Treatment For Arthritis In The Neck

I have had neck problems since a chiropractor twisted me two years ago. I am now going to an excellent one here in Mass. She uses the activator - but I get the recurring pain back two days later. I have been diagnosed with some arthritis in my neck. I have never had this trouble until the first chiropractor nearly crippled me not being able to breathe or sneeze. I was immediately seen to rectify this but I never have lost all the neck pain. Usually on one side worse than the other - nerve pain? Thank you.
