[ herniated disc a bulged disc with a split in the lower part of my spine and degeneration]

does that mean the bulge has a split in it or ??

Was the chiro highly trained /skilled/expert ?
Did he do any pain reliving modalities - like ultrasound, massage, low level laser, IF stim? or only adjustments?

I'd seek out one that has a low level laser (aka/cold/soft laser) and one that does those other therapies along with adjusting. perhaps some sort of traction might be helpful too. But look for extra training & certificates etc and probably skip any beginners..
