I'm not discounting a physical issue, but:

I have a friend who keeps her mare at my place.  The mare is a wench and the friend is not a dominant person with horses.  Her mare acts hideously cinchy.  I mean ears pinned, nose pinched, teeth showing.  Every year friend goes through hundreds of $$'s on new supplements because she thinks something is wrong.  Nothing ever works because nothing physical is wrong.  It's all a mental game that the mare plays.  For some time I was tacking the mare up for friend and the mare did this with me a few times.  I settled the issue and she does not act cinchy with me.  

It's just a possibility that I want to point out.  Cinchy can have such a wide range of answers.

Try a new chiropractor.  Just had one tell me 2 months ago that there was absolutely no soreness or inflammation in my horses back, that he was just tighter than average in his lower back.. not true. Not sore to the touch, not cinchy, but he is tightening it from pain and causing his pelvis to rotate and causing soreness through his entire hind end.  Another horse was rotated through his shoulders and withers from lifting his head and bringing it back instead of collecting... caused soreness through his ribs and cinch area.  Another had a dropped hip, caused major hock and stifle soreness as well as the opposite front side soreness.

Point being, one thing can cause a whole slew of other body soreness issues.. it's not always something major.  Get his feet balanced, maybe check out another chiro, and it may take weeks to get the soreness out of his body once you get him straightened out.  Go to Youtube and check out the Masterson Method... amazing work you can do yourself.

I have had two different chiropractors and 3 different vets look at him. The vets I am using for him at the moment are from Virginia Tech Equine Hospital. I really don't know any larger place to take him to.

The cinchyness is really not really the big issue for him right now, its the back pain.
