I have been seeing Dr. Applebee for the past five months and am incredibly impressed. On my first visit, I could barely walk because I threw my lower back out so badly. Dr. Applebee had me feeling great in no time but what affected me the most were the tips he taught me about stretching, sitting, standing up from a chair, bending over to pick things up, how to vacuum and so many more. These tips have made a huge difference! I'm well on my way to a younger version of myself because of his guidance and adjustments. He is the best!

Dr. Applebee is amazing. We love that he talks you through what he is doing. He is so gentle and engaging with our baby! Our 9 month old has been very close to crawling for a few weeks. when we went to see Dr. Applebee, he noticed some tightness in his hips. After my sons adjustment, he was crawling within hours!

5 stars isn't enough to say how great Dr. Applebee is! He is very knowledgeable in all areas of the body, in every season of growth. We first met Dr. Applebee during my first pregnacy where I learned that "waddling" while being pregnant may be typical, wasn't normal for the body. While seeing him during my pregnancy, I felt fewer months along than I was, due to the chiropractic care I recieved.

I learned so much about the body and what it is designed to do that we went on to have two drug-free births. Our children have seen him for aches, pains and routine monthly visits since child birth. Dr. A has helped with infant and toddler constipation, sleeping habits, nutrition habits, and so much more. My favorite thing about Dr. Applebee is that he talks through what the cause of problem is.

While most doctors treat the symtoms, he can tell you why you are having those symtoms and the root of the problem. He's able to correct the root of the problem through chiropractic care. He is great with all ages children and adults, has a flexible schedule and responds to messages right away. He continues to see our very active family going on 14 years now.

My family have been visiting Dr Applebee for the last 15 years and I can't rate him, his professionalism and friendly demeanor highly enough. I saw him initially for pre-natal care. Dr Applebee was able to keep me from developing the classic "pregnancy waddle" which was incredible. When I broke a rib late into my 3rd pregnancy, he was able to not only keep me in the best alignment and comfort possible, but with careful taping, I was able to experience the natural, medication free labor I'd hoped for.

Since then, Dr Applebee has adjusted me, my husband and 3 kids regularly and helped my kids through many growth spurts and sports injuries (soccer, dance, gymnastics). He's superb at working with not only the spine, but with ankles, wrists and shoulders and has been an absolutely crucial part of my wellness team over the years. My passion outside of work is competitive ballroom dancing and Dr Applebee really makes it possible for me to dance at my best. I highly recommend! :)

Dr. Applebee is amazing! He was recommended to me by my lactation consultant when my son was born 3.5 years ago and we still go today. He is very gentle with babies and children (you snuggle them in your arms while he adjusts them) and his early visits helped with my son's eating and digestion. Now he makes sure my rough housing toddler stays in alignment.

At the end of the visit, he typically does lymphatic drainage, and to this day, my son has never had an ear infection. When my husband injured his shoulder and arm over a year ago, I knew exactly where he had to go. During his initial consult, we discovered that he was putting a significant amount of body weight on one side of his body than the other.

My husband now sees Dr. A regularly, his weight distribution is more even, his posture is improved and his shoulder hasn't bothered him since. Most recently, I tweaked my neck so badly I couldn't turn my head. The next day happened to be my husband's appointment and he dragged me along. To be honest, while I was always interested in trying a chiropractor, I FEARED this!

It freaks me out at the thought of my bones being moved around and I can't stand the sound it makes when someone is on the table. Dr. Applebee stayed late to take me in and made me feel completely at ease. He explains everything he is doing and demonstrated the very light pressure required to adjust someone on my hand before he even started on the rest of me.

Not only did I have a better range of pain free motion turning my head that day (almost 100% the following day), but I felt better in general. At this point I've been through a handful of adjustments and I can now sit straighter, stand taller and my knees don't bother me like they use to when walking on nature trails. I never knew how off my body was until he adjusted me. Dr. Applebee is kind, caring, easy to talk to and knowledgeable. I'm so happy he was recommended to me and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Our family has been seeing Dr. Applebee for 7 years and we have all experienced great results. He is very skilled and experienced with people of all ages, including babies and children. He has a pleasant demeanor and is terrific with children. Dr. Applebee is unique in that he sees each patient as an individual and always tailors his treatment to reflect the specific needs of each client.

One thing we REALLY appreciate is that he does not automatically schedule patients to come back each week indefinitely like many other chiropractors. Our family will continue to see Dr. Applebee for a combination of preventative care as well as relief from chronic issues and any acute problems that pop up. He is flexible with scheduling and we know we can rely on him to always make time for us when one (or a few) of us need adjustments which is super helpful to a busy family like ours.

Dr Applebee is great! I have been seeing him for many years and 2 pregnancies with major improvements. My 3 year old daughter has been seeing him since birth and now my newborn is being treated for shoulder dystocia and post laser treatment for lip and tongue tie. The laser was not enough, my newborn has very tight muscles in different areas and Dr Applebee was able to discover those tight muscles that have been affecting her latch, slowly but surely she is able to nurse with no pain and her jaw movements are so much better. she is getting full just from breast feeding now (before we had to give the bottle on top of breast because of poor latch)Dr Applebee focuses on natural therapy, I really like that because he just doesn't throw a pill at you to shut you up like other doctors.

He takes his time to listen, figure out the problem, and find the best proper solution. He is very knowledgeable and will share that knowledge with you, he has nothing to hide. He will let you know the exact muscle or problem and will discuss treatment and how long it will take. He is a caring and passionate doctor.

Dr. Applebee is excellent! My 3-month old daughter needed body work for a post lip and tongue tie procedure. He has flexible hours, great with babies, and is very sweet. His office is also very child friendly. She healed fantastically and will definitely be going back if we ever need anymore chiropractic work.

Dr. Applebee is an amazing chiropractor! He has treated my family and me for many years. He has convenient hours, is extremely flexible, and makes himself available when we need to see him in between scheduled appointments. His office is warm and welcoming--and it all begins with Dr. Applebee and his positivity. If you are looking for a chiropractor you can trust, look no further!

My family has been seeing Dr. Applebee for 16 years. He has been there for us from prenatal appointments to early-childhood, adult, and senior care. At the moment, my daughter relies on him as she works through some dance injuries, but he has also restored my father from excruciating back pain, helped a 9-month pregnant me feel as if I were only a few months along, and even solved some chronic acid-reflux my daughter was experiencing. Since they were little, my children have let me know when something is off, and they want to see Dr. Applebee! I cannot recommend him enough.
