What kind of doctor should I find?

@arcuri24 He visited an acupuncturist many years ago, but it didn't seem to bring him much relief. I wonder if it might work differently today. I'm coincidentally finding about new options--DNTF chiropractic, therapy/PA combination--more and more, and know the range of options is changing very rapidly. That's why I'd like to see someone who has a grasp of the landscape and can make recommendations.

I am not familiar with the new options you mentioned. Can you explain what they are? I had one treatment of acupuncture--five needles in a knotted glute muscle. It is two days later and I am still sore. The doctor said this would be the case but its really uncomfortable and I may not continue--he said I would need 20 treatments. I now believe that the pains I experience may be due to my autoimmune disease. Not every mode of treatment can work for everyone.
