Shattering all scientific understanding, it’s been determined that the knee bone’s connected to the thigh bone, the thigh bone’s connected to the hip bone, and they’re all connected to Kevin Bacon. Keep bones straight with today's Groupon: for $50, you get a doctor’s examination, up to three x-rays, and a 30-minute soft- or deep-tissue massage at Natural Health & Chiropractic Center (a $185 value).

Doctor of Chiropractic Michael Lau wields his degrees in biomedical engineering and anatomy to accomplish the twin goals of alleviating present pain and forestalling future maladies. First-time visitors undergo a comprehensive examination of skeletal, muscular, and neurological systems to locate bodily breakdowns. A set of up to three x-rays, if necessary, can allow the doctor to critically inspect spines for signs of misalignment, degeneration, or low battery life. After assessing key factors such as posture, mobility, and reflexes, Dr. Lau recommends the most therapeutic course of treatment. A 30-minute soft- or deep-tissue massage then revitalizes malfunctioning muscles and harmonizes irate vertebrae back into single-file serenity.

Dr. Lau credits the benefits of chiropractic and natural remedies with overcoming severe allergies in his youth. Emphasizing preventative care and healthy living, he approaches patients with an eye toward full-body wellness, reflected in his stress-dissipating office’s tranquil sea-blue color scheme and graceful curved accents.
