Does Electrical Stimulation In Chiropractic Care Cause Blood In Urine?

Last night I started having blood in my urine (quite visible). I had a chiropractic appointment for lower back alignment and during the process they put electrodes around my lower back and in the kidney area, relaxing the muscles with electrical stimulation. Could this have irritated my bladder and caused the blood? It s still there today (off and on).

In my opinion blood in urine in the absence of fever or urinary frequency,could be due to trauma or renal stones.
Not commonly but an important differential to be considered with blood in urine would be malignancy.
An ultrasound of kidney urinary bladder is advisable.
Urine Routine examination is also advised.
