She carried a large portfolio of her work all over Nashville for weeks and had to settle temporarily for a job as a waitress in a beer saloon. Fortunately, the need for that job didn’t last too long and she found employment in an advertising agency which was right down her alley of specialization. From there she had jobs in a printing company and finally as assistant to the art director of Columbia Records. This last job required sitting at a drafting table, sometimes ten hours a day.

An "adjustment," as doctors of chiropractic use the term, means the specific manipulation of vertebrae which have abnormal movement patterns or fail to function normally. Doctors of chiropractic spend years learning motion palpation (the art of examining by movement or touch) and other forms of spinal examining procedures, so that they can administer specific and appropriate spinal adjustments.
Subluxation
Once we have identified the problem, we will begin care by way of these adjustments or "manipulations." Particular attention will be paid to that area of your spine where a spinal derangement or "subluxation" has been detected. The adjustment is usually given by hand or "activator" type instruments, and consists of applying pressure to the areas of the spine that are out of alignment or that do not move properly within their normal range of motion.
Manipulation Therapy
A 2001 study at Duke University found that spinal manipulation resulted in rapid improvement for those headaches originating in the neck. The relief was longer lasting and with few side-effects than that obtained by commonly prescribed medicines.
