Suggest Treatment For Stiffness In The Neck , Back And Shoulder Blade

Hi. I have had a stiff neck for several weeks. I did something to it while driving one night. The neck, back and shoulder muscles have been extremely tight. I have had several chiropractic adjustments on a weekly basis as well as massage therapy. The condition has improved by 50 percent. Im a little confused because the chiropratic adjustment I received today made my neck feel more sore and more stiff, then eased up later. I had one serious migraine since this started but that was 3 weeks ago. I have fibromyalgia. This neck problem just wont go away.
