Today's side deal shifts the pieces of a bodily slide puzzle back into their rightful positions, revealing a realigned portrait of a happy cat. For $25, new patients get a consultation, 15-minute hydromassage, and chiropractic treatment at Lindeman Chiropractic in Broomfield, a $155 total value. These services are by appointment only. X-rays, should they be required, are not included and usually cost between $50 and $100.

Dr. Lindeman, winner of the Clinic Service Award for outstanding patient care while enrolled at the Cleveland Chiropractic College, will go over your specific aches and pains before giving your back a standard treatment that realigns every aggrieved vertebrate and unties tense knots. After the treatment, you'll lay back into the hydromassager. Essentially a waterbed filled with heated jacuzzi jets, the hydromassager pushes away stress and stiffness with the efficiency of a cow-catcher on a steam-powered locomotive. After 15 minutes, patients emerge as soothed and limber as an octopus in a seaweed hammock—and just as hungry for crabs.
