To all our valued patients,

We are continuing to monitor the situation with COVID-19 and have implemented several safety and cleaning protocols at Apex Wellness Center and are ready to start seeing a limited number of patients who REALLY need our care for chiropractic and acupuncture services.  Our massage practice remains closed at this time and our counselor is solely seeing clients via telehealth. We will continue to monitor and communicate any changes as we move forward.

We are still asking that if you are able to delay care, that you continue to do that.  However, if you are experiencing significant pain and/or discomfort, stress and/or anxiety or other symptoms, such as severe allergies, that are impacting your ability to take care of yourself or your family or is impacting your ability to do your job as an essential worker, we will be able to see you.

If you do feel you need to be seen, you may either contact your provider directly to discuss your situation and to schedule or you may schedule online.  Telehealth is also still available for acupuncture patients.
