At our clinic, we have developed a strong reputation in the community for helping people overcome pain and recover from injuries.
We take a modern, evidence-based approach to care. We stay current with the latest clinical research and avoid outdated, ineffective methods.
Our treatment is comprehensive. We don’t just give you a quick adjustment and send you on your way. We take the time to make an accurate diagnosis and use the full range of therapies within our scope—hands-on care, exercise rehab, and advanced modalities—to help you feel and function better.
History
Established in 2012.
Valley Spine & Sport, founded in 2012, was built to bring modern, evidence-based chiropractic and sports medicine care to the Fox Valley. While many clinics focused on traditional family care, Dr. Alex Tapplin saw the need for something different—a place for athletes, active adults, and those dealing with complex or persistent pain. From the start, the clinic emphasized more than adjustments, blending chiropractic care with advanced soft tissue treatment, rehabilitation, and a whole-body approach. Collaboration has always been central, with strong ties to trainers, coaches, orthopedic specialists, and physical therapists, creating a trusted network for patients. As the clinic grew, Dr. Tapplin partnered with Dr. Ben Buckner, expanding services with shockwave therapy, laser therapy, and cutting-edge rehab programs informed by the latest research.
