I've definitely had similar things, it's not really a big deal. I'd look into seeing someone who specializes in Active Release Technique (https://activerelease.com/patients/), who will most likely be a physical therapist, massage therapist or chiropractor. And I know, I know, the internet as a whole seems to hate chiropractors, and there ARE definitely a lot of scummy/scammy ones out there, but there are good, ethical ones too, and the ones who focus more on muscle work (like Active Release) rather than adjustments (cracking vertebrae) can be helpful.

I see one on a regular basis who does this (I sit a lot and am constantly having similar issues) and he helps a lot. He does Active Release, something called NeuroKinetic Therapy (https://neurokinetictherapy.com/), and is certified in exercise rehab (he gives you exercises to do at home) and doesn't do the cracking thing unless someone specifically requests it - functionally/in practice he's more like a physical therapist than a chiropractor even though that's technically what his degree is.

If you can find a good ART provider (and one who does NKT and/or exercise rehab would be a bonus) I think that would be more helpful than anything else. If you go to https://activerelease.com/patients/find-a-provider/ and put in your zip code, it will list ones in your area. The more icons they have next to their name, the more specific certifications they've taken, and, at least in theory, the better they should be. But at minimum, look for one who's taken the Nerve Certification (there's a key at the top of the page that lists the icons, it's the fourth one in the list).

Anyway, that's just my $0.02 and what I'd do in your position.
