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

Then we talk about stress, the immune system and a theory around how chiropractor could help you live longer.
