In 2009, a foreclosed home in the Foster-Powell neighborhood was transformed through a down-to-the-studs renovation with the goal of creating a homey, welcoming clinic space. The finished building includes five treatment rooms, an ADA-accessible bathroom and entryway, off-street bike parking, and a yard landscaped with carefully chosen native plants. Apex opened its doors to its first patients in September 2010.
From the beginning, Apex was envisioned as a neighborhood-focused wellness clinic, built on the belief that people benefit most from treatment when they can access it within their own community.
Apex provides Chiropractic, Massage Therapy, and Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine, offering holistic, integrated treatments designed to support healing at a root level. Rather than simply masking pain, these practices work together to restore balance, address underlying causes, and promote long-term wellness.
Jenny Smith, Office Manager
Jenny is beyond excited to be back at Apex Wellness Center as the Office Manager! If you visited the clinic in 2022–2023, you might remember her friendly face, if not, she can’t wait to meet you. Apex has always felt like home to her, and she’s thrilled to return to a team and community that means so much.
With a passion for creating a warm, welcoming environment, Jenny believes there’s something truly magical about alternative care. Helping others feel supported on their wellness journeys is not just a job, but an honor.
When she’s not at the clinic, you’ll likely find Jenny lost in a good book (or audiobook), experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, or soaking up the beauty of nature. For her, life is all about balance, and she’s always looking for ways to bring more joy and ease into every day.
