neck problems

I am a 45 year old male, recently divorced, sold home and changed careers. Went to a chiropracter 8mos. ago for a minor lower back problem (strain). He decided it was my neck out of alignment. Proceeded to adminster a very agressive neck minipulation which caused discomfort immediatly. After a few more trips there to fix the problem I was convinced he caused, or at least contributed to the problem.
I am in constant discomfort, feels like a knife is stuck in the base of my skull where the muscles attach. There is also a nagging burning pain in the same basic location. In addition  my upper back muscles knot up periodicly causing upper back pain. This has been going on for atleast 6 months and causes constant headaches and now my eyes have developed bags under them. Not pretty! I'm in good physical shape, work out on a regular basis, jog and am very active I have tried deep tissue massages, physical therapy, acupuncture and even magnets. Nothing seems to help. I'm tired of living on pain killers. Can you help. Many thanks.
