More than likely a chiropractor would be a good first choice for your back injury.  Depending on the cause they will more than likely want to get at least two x-rays; one from the front and one from the side.  This is necessary to evaluate the biomechanical issues that cause your pain and to rule out any pathology that may require a referral to a specialist.
Assuming it's just a musculo-skeletal injury, the chiropractic will use a combination of gentle manipulation and physio-therapeutics to minimize the pain and correct the cause.

As a rule, vertigo is not high on the list of reasons people visit a chiropractor, however, patients that see Doctor of Chiropractic for neck pain and stiffness or other neuro-musculoskeletal disorders report high instances of relief of vertigo. If you’re suffering from dizziness or balance problems, a 2008 study of the findings of the National Health Interview Survey states that chiropractors can help with vertigo and fall prevention. The following are some of the techniques that are effective:

• Spinal adjustments
• The Epley maneuver
• The Brandt-Daroff Habituation Exercise
• And the Setmont Maneuver

How to do the Brandt-Daroff Habituation Exercise:

• Sit on a flat surface. A bed is preferable. Your feet should be flat on the floor.
• Turn your head all the way to the right and then slowly lay down on your left side without moving your legs and keeping your head turned to the right. Hold for 30 seconds.
• Sit up again and turn your head back to center. Hold for 30 seconds.
• Repeat on the other side, turning your head to the left and lying down on your right side.
• Repeat the steps above five times each session, two or three sessions a day until your vertigo goes away. This may take up to two weeks.
