Laurinburg, NC Drs and Health Practioners

Health is more than the absence of disease; it's the overall well being of the physical, psychological, and emotional biospheres. Today's Groupon can heal you through and through, unstick your qi, and release your hidden superpowers with an integrated, holistic deal. For $25, you get an acupuncture session and consultation at Whitespire Center of Oriental Medicine in Concord, a $60 value.

A smile has the power to win hearts and eat apples—two of the most important achievements in life. Make sure your chompers are in tip-top condition with today's deal: for $59 you get a dental cleaning, an exam, and x-rays from Ballantyne Center for Dentistry in Charlotte, a $326 value. The center's dentists, Dr. Yaste and Dr. Hufanda, were named Top Dentists of 2009 by Charlotte Magazine.

Dr. Scott Menaker and Dr. Tricia Rodney have years of combined experience in dentistry and its cousin field, advanced box-kite mechanics. They've fully stocked each room in the practice for extreme comfort. Patients can enjoy cable TV, headphone music, and the option to transport nerves to an ocean-side hammock with nitrous oxide. Your appointment begins with a thorough assessment to determine the condition of your teeth. The wise tooth guru will see where your teeth have been and where they are going before summoning x-rays in order to look beyond the visible spectrum. Unseen cracks and signs of decay become readily apparent under the inescapable eye of penetrating wavelengths. During the scrub-down phase of your visit, a meticulous rebuffing will leave your grin spick-and-spandexed like a sparkly gymnast.

Dr. Jason Usher and the staff at Ballantyne Advanced Chiropractic are committed to giving clients a pleasurable and productive first visit to the office. Upon arrival at the office's heliport, clients will be given a brief tour of the facilities and then meet with Dr. Usher. After an initial exam ($123) with Dr. Usher, some gentle adjustments—a well-placed pop here, an elegant application of pressure there—may take place to unjumble the joints and up international levels of spinal satisfaction for neck, upper, middle, and lower back ($50). Dr. Usher may decide x-rays ($158) are in order for some patients, in which case bones will be asked to "stop making that face and just say 'cheese'" for photographic evidence of subcutaneous subluxation and subterfuge. After the thermite flash powder settles, patients will receive a one-hour massage ($65) to release tension termites back into the wild.

Dr. Porter is a Charlotte native and one of the state's leading cosmetic and general dentists. He graduated from the University of Chapel Hill in 1994 and has been practicing dentistry with tool-wielding panache ever since. Dr. Porter's state-of-the-art office and kind, competent staff help patients attain ultimate levels of comfort and satisfaction. With today's Groupon clenched between your pearly whites, or shaking in the grip of chattering wind-up teeth, come down to the office for an exam, cleaning, and x-rays—the trifecta of oral-health fundamentals. You'll leave with teeth so squeaky clean and thoroughly vetted that corrupt spinach will slide right over its favorite crevices, and a force field of spotless shine will repel Milky Duds from your molars.

Dr. David Yu found his calling in an unexpected place: Haiti. On a mission trip during his undergraduate years of college, Dr. Yu saw how badly the Haitian people needed dental care, and, right then and there, he decided he would do something about it. He ended up going to dental school at the University of North Carolina alongside Dr. Michael Rhyne, who now practices with him at Dental Center of Charlotte. The two dentists provide an extensive list of dental services that include cosmetic, preventative, and restorative procedures, and Dr. Yu stays true to his original altruistic mission by volunteering for groups in Charlotte. To aid them in their services, the staff at Dental Center of Charlotte wields such high-tech devices as an intraoral camera and digital x-rays, which emit 80% less radiation than traditional x-rays and 100% fewer hexes than a mysterious fortuneteller. They also mill crowns quickly on site and offer sedation dentistry for those with fears of the dentist.
