At age nine, my parents took me to a local chiropractor to treat my persistent headaches. The care I was given was very successful and my headaches were relieved.
When I was 12, I injured my lower back while water-skiing. At the time, taking it easy and resting led to my pain eventually diminishing. But a couple of years later, simply taking a swing at the ball while playing high school baseball caused me to drop to the ground with severe lower back pain. Recalling my earlier successful relief from headaches, I returned to the same chiropractor who once again brought relief from my pain. The impact of how successful chiropractic treatments were at relieving pain and allowing me to return to playing high school sports, including football, made a big impression on me. It was through those experiences that I decided that I wanted to become a chiropractor myself and bring those types of often life-changing results to others.
Following undergraduate studies at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, I enrolled at the Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, where I graduated with honors with my Doctor of Chiropractic degree.
At OrthoIllinois, I bring my 30+ years of experience in the practical examination, diagnosis, and treatment of a variety of musculoskeletal conditions and injuries and provide treatments, including spinal decompression and manipulation, to relieve pain in the joints and muscles. My first goal with every new patient however, has always been to determine if chiropractic services are appropriate for their condition, and if it is not, to ensure that I make a referral to the type of specialist best equipped to help that patient. My care philosophy is grounded in keeping my patients’ best interests my priority.
My practice has been based in the McHenry area for over 30 years. I have deeply enjoyed being a part of the McHenry Community and getting to know so many residents through providing their chiropractic treatment. I look forward to offering you the same high level of care that I have had the privilege of offering friends and neighbors over the years.
Dr. Spengel and staff were amazing.
I am free from back pain thanks to Dr. Spengel's expert knowledge and treatment. He takes time to listen to a patient's comments on how their recent activities impacted any pain that was experienced during such activity; then he explains what's going on and offers suggestions on better ways to do things to improve your health.
Efficient and professional.
He always just what I need to help my pain.
He is a very thorough chiropractor. I was impressed at the detail of his exam.
Dr Spengel is the best! I was dealing with horrible shooting tingling down my arm during sleep. Had one adjust and it’s been gone since. And I can finally sleep again!
Very thorough and explains everything.
Explained everything
I been to countless doctors and had different treatments (including a surgery) with no relief, Dr Spangel has been the only doctor to provide me with relief, I am so grateful for him and wish I would have gone to him from the start,
Very great care!
