Trusted chiropractic care for Apple Valley
About 25 minutes (15 miles) from our south Minneapolis office
Apple Valley grew up around the crossroads of Cedar Avenue and County Road 42, and today it’s a city of lakes — Cobblestone, Farquar, and Alimagnet among them — with the Minnesota Zoo tucked into its northern edge. It’s also an easy drive to our office: from most Apple Valley neighborhoods you’re about 25 minutes and 15 miles from Nokomis Chiropractic and Wellness in south Minneapolis.
That short trip north on Cedar Avenue (Highway 77) crosses the Minnesota River and connects to Highway 62, which drops you a few blocks from our door near Lyndale Avenue and 53rd Street. Whether a long commute has your low back tight or desk work has your neck and shoulders locked up, we offer chiropractic care built around your specific complaint — from back pain and sciatica to everyday stiffness.
For disc-related pain we also offer spinal decompression, and expectant parents from Apple Valley can ask about prenatal care. Minnesota is a direct-access state, so no referral is needed to get started — just call (612) 822-0149. Free parking sits right out front, which makes the last leg of the trip from Apple Valley as easy as the drive itself.

Why Apple Valley chooses Nokomis Chiropractic and Wellness
Whether you're coming from the trails around Cobblestone Lake, a busy morning near the County Road 42 shops, or a family outing at the Minnesota Zoo, Nokomis Chiropractic and Wellness is a straightforward trip north for Apple Valley residents. Our office sits near the corner of Lyndale Avenue and 53rd Street in the Tangletown and Kingfield area of south Minneapolis, just off Highway 62 — about 25 minutes up Cedar Avenue, with free parking waiting out front.
Our team takes the time to understand what is actually driving your discomfort rather than chasing symptoms.

What our patients say
“I had a wonderful experience at Nokomis Chiropractic & Wellness! The staff was so friendly, welcoming, and caring. They took the time to listen to my concerns and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire experience. I really appreciated the personalized care and attention to detail.”
“I had never been to a chiropractor before, and I’m very glad I came here. Dr. Olson and his team are very welcoming and professional and I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. My sciatic nerve pain was horrible and constant before I came in. After a mix of daily stretching, the very effective decompression machine, and adjustments, I’m in a much better place and able to enjoy life without pain again. I would definitely recommend.”
“Rachael, Jess, and Dr. Olson are welcoming and friendly! Dr. Olson provides a comprehensive, approachable care plan. From moderate spinal adjustments, to the decompression table, and finally "the big pull," supported by an at-home exercise regimen to reinforce progress, I feel completely taken care of. I've already seen major improvements in my neck and back pain and have no doubt those will continue.”
