Can a Chiropractor confirm no disk herniation?

I had back surgery for a ruptured disc back in 2008, after suffering thru BS advice from a chiropractor, including lots of paid visits, my frustration, and the chiropractor telling me I would have to change my lifestyle, after worsening back/ leg pain.

I the finally went to my family doctor, who ordered an MRI, diagnosed the ruptured disc, and sent me to a specialist, and, eventually surgery. Best decision of my life go away from this particular chiropractor. I am playing more tennis now than ever, and at the competitive level I like.

I had what I consider a bad experience and i know others have had good experiences with chiropractors, but I know what I will do if this ever happens again.
