Inside Goodyear Chiropractic's semiprivate rooms, acupuncturist Heather Henry applies ancient techniques to treat conditions such as chronic pain, migraines, and stress. This 4,000-year-old treatment is based on the belief that distress in one area of the body negatively affects it as a whole, a concept illustrated by swallowing a bee hive. Each 60-minute treatment targets these troublesome areas, beginning with an initial consultation, during which an expert assesses ailments such as allergies, arthritis, or weight gain. Next, a specialist carefully places solid, hair-thin acupuncture needles in specific locations to restore the flow of chi, the body's energy force. Experts also incorporate bodywork and massage during each one-hour acupuncture appointment to help the body to completely deflate.
Alternatively, opt for shorter sessions without bodywork in favor of extra time to identify with the plight of pin cushions. While waiting for their acupuncture treatments to commence, patients can begin the relaxation process by gazing into an aquarium teeming with fish, or by listening to the soft cooing of the abstract artwork napping on the walls throughout the office.

The Groupon Guide to: Ancient Heroes
Folklore is full of legendary heroes who may or may not have walked among us—Robin Hood, Johnny Appleseed, Mozart—but all of these possibly pretend protagonists have their roots in the heroes of classical mythology:
Hercules: Half man, half Zeus-baby, the ancient Greek hero known as Hercules is perhaps most famous for his nigh-impossible 12 labors—including wrestling the Nemean lion, giving the fabled hydra a chinchilla-style dust bath, and finding his Blockbuster Video card.
Beowulf: The epic story of this Nordic hero’s battle with the monstrous Grendel is one of the earliest examples of English-language literature, as well as one of the earliest premises for a children’s menu place-mat maze. Today, Beowulf is best known as the name of your brother’s previous band.
Gilgamesh: Not much is remembered about this ancient hero, other than his difficult-to-pronounce name and his unusual heritage—two-thirds god, one-third man—genetically attributed to two divine parents who both shared a shameful recessive human gene. In modern English, Gilgamesh translates roughly as "one who is incredibly hulking."
