My wife loves Loehr. I don't use Chiro much but they helped me once when I had a rib out. As others here are pointing out though, make sure Chiro is actually appropriate for your injuries.

If your back is hurting after a car accident, the last thing you need is your spine to be manipulated.

Follow up with PCP and ask for a referral if needed, or request an MRI if the pain persists. If you're experiencing muscle spasms, call a trained massage therapist.

Avoid them. Quacks the lot of them. Anyone claiming that all illnesses are caused by spine misalignment and curable via spinal manipulation^(1) should be run out of town like the snake oil salesmen they are. Especially as it is a revealed religion sent to the founder from the other world by a dead physician^(2)

Look for an evidence-based medicine provider instead. There are a number of physical therapist in the area that do good work.

If the Sub Shop is what I think it is, there's also one downtown. Good call on Greek Belly, I really like that place. The owner has had a booth at the C-Street culture fest a couple of times and he seems pretty nice on top of making some pretty good gyros.

FYI Kai has a couple of their bento boxes back on the menu. Teriyaki chicken and beef. Sadly, no salmon last time I went.

Last time I was at Zayka was late last year and the buffet still wasn't back, but they had a combination plate that featured the 4-5 most popular items along with some naan and sauces and rice pudding, and it was pretty filling.

Oh wow, I didn't know about his parents getting sick. That sucks about his dad. I never got to meet the dad, but back when his mom was helping out she'd always make sure to give me a big hug before I left. She's a sweet lady.
