Get a proper evaluation. Not just an exam and standard x-rays but also x-rays called flexion and extension x-rays of the neck. One of the most commonly missed diagnoses in the cervical spine is hypermobility where the bones are moving too much versus not enough.
Yes, I think you should seek Chiropractic care as soon as possible to help this problem.
