Would Aetna cover it if you were going through a Orthopedic doc instead of a chiro?

I also went to a normal doctor for drugs and had both doctors xray me and report to Aetna. So I'm pretty sure it's not the fact that it's coming from a chiro that they rejected it. Their reasoning was "a back injury has to be treated for 8 weeks in a row before we pay for an MRI"
Meanwhile, I might have a slipped or torn disc in my back, and everyday it only hurts more. If I went 8 weeks like this before finding out what is wrong w me, I would prob be worse off than I am now.
I'm paying out of pocket now for my MRI and not holding my breath that Aetna will pay for any of my treatment after I find out what's wrong. Fucking bs.
