Jake Cooke, a chiropractor with a Masters in Musculoskeletal Neuroscience reminds me about the mechanics and neurology behind how a chiropractic adjustment works. Spoiler alert, this is how...

- resetting muscle spindles of intrinsic spinal muscles
- proprioceptor input centrally
- improvements to cerebellum function
- anti-inflammatory effects
- release of opioids
