Doctor or chiropractor/osteopath?

A plea for help, I'm feeling a bit lost. I injured the lower part of my back lifting something in August but at the time did nothing about it due to circumstances. It's been giving me pain ever since and is in the joint rather than in the muscles.

What are my options if I actually go to my doctor? Am I just going to be fobbed off with pain killers or should I not waste my time and go straight to a chiropractor or osteopath?

I have a friend with private medical care and they have been excellent with his back, but I know from past experience I won't get that sort of care or urgency with the NHS.
