Get to know Chiropractor Dr. April J. Lee, who serves patients in Olney, Maryland.

With the energy, demeanor, and positive attitude that make for a very successful chiropractor, Dr. Lee is easy to talk to and takes a personal approach to each and every patient. She is the owner of Life Chiropractic of Olney in Olney, Maryland, which she opened in August of 2014. 

“Educating, treating, and helping people of all ages reach their full health potential through a program of care and instruction which is non-invasive, natural, and incorporates a holistic and integrative approach personally designed for each individual through Chiropractic Medicine. Pain is not a lifestyle, let us help you on your journey to health.” as stated on the practice’s website. 

Specializing in extremities and sports rehabilitation, Dr. Lee has worked with a wide range of patients such as pediatrics, prenatal, as well as professional athletes including NFL and USA Rugby players. She has treated thousands of patients with outstanding results that last.

Throughout her academic studies, she received an academic scholarship to the University of Indianapolis, where she majored in Biology with a minor in Biochemistry. She then went on to obtain her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in Marietta, Georgia, where she graduated cum laude and with physical therapy privileges. Upon graduation, she moved to Maryland in 2012 to start practice. 

Having such a well-rounded background gives Dr. Lee a perspective in preventative healthcare, rarely seen today. She also believes it is important to take the time to listen to her patients in order to fully understand what is occurring in their body, as well as her patients’ goals in order to achieve optimal results. 

Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. A chiropractor uses spinal adjustments, manipulation, and other techniques to manage patients’ health concerns, including neck pain and back pain. They aim to improve patients’ functionality and quality of life by properly aligning the body’s musculoskeletal structure and enabling the body to heal itself without the use of medication or surgery. 

Dr. Lee is the founder of Life Chiropractic of Olney Scholarship Foundation, a nonprofit organization. We believe that wellness should not be reserved for the wealthy and that finances should never be the only barrier to experiencing the miracle and healing power of chiropractic care. As such, it is the mission of Life Chiropractic of Olney Scholarship Foundation to expand access to high quality chiropractic care to under-served populations including those with low income, severe medical challenges, and our first responders (fire, police, EMT/paramedic, active military, and veterans). In addition, Life Chiropractic of Olney awards scholarships to promising students in the fields of science or health.  The scholarship is open to all high school seniors in Montgomery County.

Outside of the office, Dr. Lee enjoys running, working out at Orangetheory Fitness, and spending time with her family.
