Your spinal cord is the ultimate relay center. It transfers signals from your brain to the rest of your body. The spinal cord is about 18 inches long in adults and contains around 13.5 million neurons. This spinal cord can relay messages between your brain and body at speeds up to 268 mph!

Many of you have felt the "pop" or "crack" while getting adjusted. But what is actually happening in your body when that happens? It's actually a small gas bubble that escapes from the joint and creates the loud "pop" similar to a bubble bursting. It's not needed to have an effective adjustment, but it's often a good reassurance that the adjustment went well, as there often has to be significant movement in the joint for the "pop" to occur.
