A straight back denotes health, confidence, and the ability to balance a set of encyclopedias on one's head. Showcase your steadiness with today's Groupon: for $35, you get a consultation (a $35 value), an exam (a $100 value), an x-ray (a $170 value), a 30-minute massage (an $80 value), and one adjustment (a $55 value) at Lokey Chiropractic Clinic on Napier Avenue (a $440 total value).

Lokey's staff straightens spines with an in-depth knowledge of vertebrae and firm, gentle treatment. After a consultation about spinal-pain history and causes, the patient's back will be tested to check its range of motion, muscle tone, and strength. An x-ray determines the hidden causes of stress on the back, from misaligned vertebrae to GPS chips of mysterious origins. Based on x-ray findings, the chiropractic adjustment plies and stretches the spine to relieve pain and improve its functionality. Cracking and popping joints indicates the effectiveness of the treatment, though some patients report slight discomfort and cravings for Rice Krispies. Toward the end of the treatment, patients receive a 30-minute massage of the spine. As a whole, these procedures can address chronic stress, back pain, whiplash, and some kinds of headaches. Services can be split between two appointments if necessary.
