This article, in no way, deepened my understanding of how this experiment can help a human, just explains the difference between a human and a owl. Sounds like a "cool" experiment, but was it really useful? And this helps us to better understand spinal cord injuries in humans how?

As a Chiropractor in practice for 30 years, I know no one has studied this issue more than Chiropractic malpractice insurance companies and if there were a danger of inducing strokes with manipulation then my malpractice cost would not be the current $2,000 per year, it would be TEN TIMES that rate. Malpractice numbers don't lie and are a good indication of how safe or dangerous different treatments are.
