Suggest Treatment For Severe Back And Neck Pain

Back when I was the age of 3 I was hit by a car, it paralyzed my right side. I am now almost 50 and am having severe back and neck pain from this. I have been told by a chiropractor that I have degenerative disc disorder. Duh Now, I m considering to talk to a real doctor about my severe pain and also would like to be referred to a Neurological Surgeon. Would this be a positive direction?
