Spine specialist, Dr. Dan Spencer shares a story about a 34 y.o. farmer who injures his back while working on a combine.

Dr. Daniel D. Spencer

Dr. Dan has served on the Contact For Health physician staff since October, 1995.

He attended Adrian College.  Dr. Dan was named to the Adrian College Dean’s List four times, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology on April 26, 1992.

Dr. Dan entered Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa in July of 1992. He pledged the Pi Kappa Chi professional fraternity in his first semester, joining his father, Dr. Jim Sr. as a member of the organization.  He was named to Palmer’s Dean’s List five times, and graduated on October 13, 1995 as part of the ‘Chiropractic Centennial’ class. In addition, he successfully completed the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners, Parts I, II and III.

While attending Palmer, Dr. Dan earned certification in the Cox Flexion-Distraction Technique. Approximately 800 doctors worldwide have this certification. The technique itself is an effective treatment for several types of low back and cervical (neck) problems. It has proven to be the treatment of choice in cases of intervertebral disc herniation. Dr. Dan assisted the technique’s founder and developer, Dr. James Cox of Fort Wayne, Indiana, in teaching a seminar on this technique (Chicago, November ’95).
