Answer
Leanne,

This sounds like post traumatic stress...  I'd advise you to get some mental health counseling along with some relaxing massage therapy.  Also, continue with the chiropractor who should also be helping you do exercise along with providing hands-on joint manipulation and soft tissue therapy.  If you are not exercising, then go to the gym or hire a trainer.   But please start with some counseling sessions with psychological social worker or psychologist or other behavioral pain management specialist.   This should help.  Keep your general MD in the loop, too.
