Meet Your Chiropractor - Dr. Spencer
Dr. Alec Spencer is a graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA. During his time at Palmer, he made the Dean’s list several times and was involved with different clubs and organizations within the school. He studied Medical Science and Chemistry from Western Illinois University, Macomb IL, as well as Biology at the University of Hawaii at Hilo. He knows several adjusting techniques including SOT, Flexion-distraction, and Palmer Package (Diversified, Gonstead, and Thompson). Dr. Spencer has won several awards and been recognized for his success with reducing patients’ pain.
Dr. Spencer's Chiropractic Calling
Chiropractic care has been a part of Dr. Spencer's life since childhood thanks to his uncle, who was a chiropractor. A snowboarding accident at 12 left him with a back injury, but a chiropractor helped him recover quickly. This experience sparked Dr. Spencer's passion for chiropractic, which focuses on the body's natural ability to heal itself when the nervous system functions optimally.
As an athlete himself, Dr. Spencer understands the importance of proper body mechanics and alignment for peak performance and overall well-being. That's why he incorporates exercise rehabilitation into his practice. He uses a combination of adjustments, taping, and exercise programs to get you back to the activities you love, whether it's competitive sports or simply going about your daily life.
Dr. Spencer's mission goes beyond just treating pain. He empowers patients by educating them about the human body, allowing them to make informed decisions about their health and understand how chiropractic care can be a vital part of their wellness journey.
His ultimate goal? To see you living life to the fullest, brimming with health and vitality!
A Life of Balance
When Dr. Spencer isn't helping patients, he enjoys an active family life with his wife, Alex, and their three children. They love exploring the outdoors together, whether it's camping or sightseeing on road trips. A strong believer in physical fitness himself (having competed in MMA, boxing, and jiu-jitsu), Dr. Spencer encourages his patients to embrace an active lifestyle.
Faith and Healing
Dr. Spencer acknowledges his faith and believes in the power of prayer for healing. While his practice won't involve anointing patients with oil, he silently prays for their well-being throughout their chiropractic journey.
