hockey for both U.S. and Canadian
teams. Most recently, he was cho
sen to be a member of Team USA
Medical Staff at this year’s Worid
Triathlon Championships in Cancim,
Mexico, in November, 1995. He
said, “It’s great when all phases of
health care, medical, orthopedist,
chiropractors, and podiatrists, work
together for one common goal - to
help the athlete. It’s wonderful when
a Japanese or Brazilian athlete is in
jured, you provide treatment and
they are able to finish their race. The
glow in their eyes and the hug they
give you is a universal language that
makes it all worthwhile.”
Dr. Greenapple, his wife
Patrice (also a chiropractic physi
cian) and two year-old son, Jason
said they chose Charlotte to move
to for 2 reasons - the beauty of the
east coast and the strong Jewish
