Alex takes the time to get to know his patients and listen to their concerns. He is very thorough in his treatment and provides at-home exercises that are easy to incorporate. He provides exceptional service and is always doing his best to schedule appointments for new injuries quickly. I have been to other chiropractors and none compare to the quality of care Alex provides. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Alex has been amazing! I was struggling with left knee and hip pain (likely due to arthritis). He has helped me be able to continue my strength training as well as running, since I am currently training for the Dopey Challenge in January. Between mobilization and laser therapy, my knee is feeling so much better. He also gave me some running mechanic tips, which has also helped with hip pain I was having. I just ran a half marathon with an 8 minute PR. I am extremely pleased with the help Dr. Alex has given me, and I highly recommend him for any athletes needing chiropractic care.

Dr. Alex has been fantastic to work with. As a competitive powerlifter he has been able to quickly diagnose pains and provide rehab and programming suggestions to my coach to help maximize recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Alex to anyone.

Dr. Alex is awesome! He really listens and does all he can to help find a solution for your pain. He's very knowledgable on treatments and willing to go the extra mile to help you find what you need.

I had neck & shoulder pain that was causing me headaches regularly. After only a few visits and some stretching exercises given to me, I've not had any issues. Alex Tapplin listens, finds the source of the issue, & treats it effectively, and includes exercises and/or stretching for maintaining a pain-free life.

It has been awhile since I have seen Dr Alex, but am very grateful still for his kind care and helping me regain the use of my knee after I ruptured the Quad tendon! He was recommended by a friend to try ART and it worked wonderfully.

Best chiropractor I've ever seen! Alex is very thorough and will work with whatever goals you have. As a college athlete, he really helped me with my lower back pain and I've had less problems since. One downside is that the appointments are short (only 20 mins), but that could be good if you're on a time crunch!

Dr. Alex has been a wonderful person to go to whenever I have an aerial gymnastics injury. His approach focuses on longevity not quick fixes that require constant visits.

Saw Dr. Alex for a shoulder impingement issue. He has such a high energy and nerdy sense of passion for what he does. Made a world of progress for me. I can now bench press with proper chest engagement and my shoulders don't give out. Pricing is incredibly reasonable and billing was a piece of cake.

Love the service and knowledge. Don’t push extra appt on you and send you home with exercises and a plan. Dr Tapplin is friendly and personable. Truly cares about his patients.

Dr. Alex is amazing. I hurt my back years ago. Every time it acts up, I get in to see him. He gets me moving again every time. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend Dr. Tapplin for all athletes. He has kept my kids going in the sport they love for years now. We couldn’t be happier with the great service and results we always have!

I tell everyone about Dr Alex! He is effective knowledgeable and has really help my hip and lower back pain. Trina with the laser therapy is awesome as well!

Running again pain free thanks to Dr. ALEX TAPPLIN!. He nailed my issue in one appointment. Running faster and no pain!!. I followed his plan and all is great!!

Alex and the team continue to keep me healthy so that I can continue to train - stay healthy - and feel better everyday! If you’re tired of going to a chiropractor over and over only to feel short term relief, then you should give these guys a call! He’s helped me and so many other of our referrals continue to stay healthy and active everyday.

I am a dentist and suffer from chronic neck pain from overuse and poor posture. Dr. Tapplin knew exactly how to treat my problem through Active Release Therapy and exercises that he prescribed for me. I instantly felt much better and he even called me to check up with me and see how I was doing after the appointment. He was very thorough, which I appreciate being a health care provider myself. In addition, he was knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. I would recommend Dr. Tapplin to anyone suffering from overuse injuries. I am VERY happy!

Dr. Tapplin at Valley Spine & Sport is a great source of knowledge. Went in for my shoulder pain after a lifting incident a couple years ago. My stubborn self thought it was going to heal on it's own, but it kept getting re-injured. After I met with doc, my shoulders feel better than they ever been before. Gave me exercises to continue making them better. Appreciate Dr. Tapplin and the knowledge he passed to me.

I am a runner and for years my feet and legs would go numb and I had severe shin pain. I even had a stress fracture in my right shin. Running would be extremely painful and became no longer enjoyable. After just 3 visits, Dr. Alex was able to reduce the numb feeling and my shin pain is completely gone! I ran 12 miles this past Sunday with NO shin pain before, during or after my run. Dr. Alex is amazing at what he does. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Tapplin is Chiropractor only in designation, but his skill set allows him to be so much more than the mainstream Chiropractic professional. His background in athletics, training and soft tissue modalities gives him the ability to provide a multi-faceted approach to developing an intervention strategy for whatever might be limiting your performance or causing chronic pain. He does a great job of supplying simple, yet effective strategies to fix or alleviate symptoms and isn't trying to just turn his clients into regular, repeat customers. I would highly recommend using his superior services.

Dr. Tapplin is truly an amazing Chiropractor. I have been to about 10 different chiropractors in the last 20 years but never had one like him. Every other Dr was able to relieve the pain temporarily, but never worked to find the cause of the pain. Dr. Tapplin used an extensive test procedure and sent me home with a lot of advice and a personalized stretching routine. I did exactly as he said and I am feeling a lot better and making great gains with my mobility.

A coworker referred me to Valley Spine & Sport, and am grateful! Dr Tapplin listens, interprets and has solutions and suggestions for pain control and management. Is very willing to accommodate schedule needs. Many thanks!!

I rarely post reviews, but I think Dr. Tapplin deserves one. After dealing with lower back pain on a daily basis for over 2 years and dealing with failed attempts by different Chiropractors in the area, I decided to give him a try. He took care of my issue in a few visits. He focused on the area of pain, made some adjustments, gave me some exercises to do at home or gym, and my back feels great again. Definitely will recommend to family and friends, and if you need a good chiropractor you will not be disappointed.

Al is extremely knowledgeable and well-read and practiced in all of the latest and greatest treatments. With his help, I’ve had great success getting through plantar fasciitis and mid back tightening/pain. I recommend Valley Spine & Sport to anyone in the Fox Valley needing great chiropractic service!

I came in to see Dr. Tapplin for a sore neck and dizziness from a concussion. After just 4 visits I was back to my normal self. He listened to all my concerns and had multiple methods to try. I'm so happy with the results and would recommend Dr. Tapplin!
