Dr. Joshua Rovner answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Spine Surgery

Disc damage: If you were seeing a chiropractor in the first place you were most likely already having back pain. while i is possible to damage a disc during an aggressive chiropractic manipulation it is more likely that there was already something wrong with your disc.
