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.

Originally from California, Judith moved along the West Coast and has lived in Oregon for the past five years. “For the good of the patient” is the motto she stands by, and she feels privileged to be able to lend a listening ear to patients. Outside of work, she is a homebody who enjoys spending time with her three tuxedo cats: Noelle, Chester, and Oreo.

Apex and the Community
Apex manages all the rainwater that falls on the property with 3 bioswales, a 1500 gallon rainwater storage tank, permeable pavers, and eco-roof on the bike shelter, native plants and trees. These measures help to recharge the local aquifers and reduce contamination to the Willamette River.
