Child on shoulders hurt back

I was dancing with my three year old on my shoulders and have hurt the top of my back above my shoulder blades/ at the top of my spine. It's stiff and slightly burning. How do I treat it? Hot bath? Yoga stretches or not? Ibruprofen or paracetamol? Should it just heal on its own? Early trip to a chiropractor or something or wait? Any advise welcome!

I would start ibuprofen and keep an eye on it for a few days. Backs get hurt but do recover.
