Physical manipulation or tool Chiropractor?
As a chiropractor, I am of the opinion that there is no better professional to adjust the spine with appropriate purpose than a Doctor of Chiropractic.

Can chiropractic help memory loss and mental fuzziness?
To date, no research has been done to investigate the effects of spinal manipulation, or any other form of therapy provided by doctors of chiropractic, on memory or mental acuity. I am sure that there are some patients of chiropractic who would claim to have had improvements in memory or other mental function, but this is what is refered to as anecdotal evidence, and is not sufficient to warrant recommending chiropractic treatment for these conditions. Thus, at this point the best answer would be - no one knows.

How does chiropractic treatment work?
The question is very broad, as chiropractic treatment usually includes many things like manipulation, mobilization, soft-tissue therapy, traction, physiotherapeutic modalities (laser, electrotherapies, etc) diet and exercise recommendations, ergonomic advice, orthotics, etc. However, I will assume that you are asking about the primary treatment that doctors of chiropractic are known for - Spinal manipulation. There are many theories that may explain how spinal manipulation works. Some proposed theories are: 1 - increases mobility in joints 2 - stimulates mechanoreceptors 3 - resets proprioceptive muscle spindles 4 - causes a systemic release of endorphins 5 - affects the autonomic nervous system Likely it is not a single mechanism, but a combination of many of the above theories that ultimately results in the favourable outcome that patients get from chiropractic care.
