Spence Chiropractic Center

What a great experience! Can’t begin to imagine how my back and neck would feel if I had not come here. My friend recommended this place after I had been experiencing pain in my neck, and upper back due to a fall. I had tried going to the doctor, and taking muscle relaxers, etc. and I was not much better. I had migraines that I thought would never go away. After a consultation and then evaluation, I began treatment with Doctor Terry. Wow! I feel brand new, and I was absolutely amazed at the professionalism and the affordability of making my life better. My migraines went away and my back is feeling wonderful. Thank you very much for taking such good care of me, and for genuinely caring about my quality of life. The office staff is so sweet and professional as well.

The best! Natural healing. the best ive found ! Nice people! Unilocal makes you right extra stuff now tp make it a review.

Worse off after two months then when I started treatment. Each adjustment left me immobile for 2 – 3 days. Both chiropractors are insensitive and cavalier. A complete disaster!

This place is great! Everyone is so friendly. Was in a car accident had kaiser insurance and this place is just south better. They also work with your insurance on lien. 10 stars!!! After reading a few negative reviews I just want to mention my back and neck feels so much better. Kaisers plan for care after my accident was unsatisfactory although up until then I was happy with kaiser. I found dr spence online sent an email was called the same day and had a next day appointment set for a consulting. As far as cost, the per visit cost was shown to me on the initial visit the pricing is set by California. Going to the doctor cost but you get what you pay for and from what I saw online he’s the best. Thanks Dr. Spence and Dr. Terry!!!

Horrible horrific expiernce. stay away. There are tons of other chiropractors this one and the stafff are oblivious.
Try somewhere else.

I was injured by Dr. Spence and he just really didn’t care nor did he take any responsibility for doing so. Beware and look elsewhere for help.

I can’t rate the doctor since I never made it that far, however I want to give feedback on my experience trying to see the doctor. A month ago I started having issues with my back. They came recommended by my boyfriend so I called them to see if they would take my insurance. They let me know they would call me back that day… no return call. I called the next day to follow-​up the women told me she didn’t have everything they needed, they would call me back. Never called… so I gave up and I went to another doctor. Again, I am having issues with my back, and although I love the doctor I found, I needed something closer to work. I thought I would give Spence one more chance. I called, they let me know that they had checked my insurance before, but apparently never called me. They informed me of my deductible which I knew was too high to be in-​network, but she didn’t clearly state that. A business who deals with insurance should know how to communicate to their customers if their services would be covered or not. If I didn’t know as much about insurance coverage as I do, I may have gone and been stuck with the bill. Overall very disappointed with Spence, sorry you are missing out on my business. I highly recommend Gaslamp Chiropractic — they have been amazing, and I will continue to see them on the weekends when I can since it’s close to home.

I had a headache that on a scale from 1 – 10 was off the scale 20+! I went to Dr Spence hoping he could relieve me of this head throbbing pain that wouldn’t let up. Constant pain! I got an adjustment but still felt pain in my teeth and inner ear. So I thought maybe this was a dental problem. So I went to the dentist the next day, he prescribed pain meds however I thought I had an infection the pain was so serve. I was surprised I didn’t have an infection. So the next day my head was in more pain than the day before so I went to see Dr Spence that day once again I felt better but still had a headache. Saturday night I work in busy restaurant and by the end of the night I ended up with a throbbing headache at the base of my head. It felt like every single nerve was pinched in my neck and I could find no relief. On Sunday I woke up with my hearing muffled and pain that was 20+ but I had hope the Dr Spence could help. So on Monday I went back to see Dr. Spence! Finally I got an adjustment from Dr Spence that I felt relief from that throbbing pain for the first time in days, it was like having a spiritual experience! I continue to reflect back often to the room and Dr. Spence like being reborn! I thought this pain would never completely go away… migraines for life or having to be on meds all day. Instead I am pain free because of Dr Spence!!! Thanks! :)

The customer service in this office is absolutely top notch! They are caring and go the extra mile for you. :)

Yes! Finally! I’ve been having sciatica pain the last 6 weeks due to my pregnancy and I finally had the time to visit Dr. Spence. I feel so much better!!! I’m looking forward to getting some sleep tonight. This is my second pregnancy and the second time I experience sciatica pain. Dr Spence is so accommodating. I feel so comfortable getting adjusted while pregnant.

I was a patient of Spence Chiropractic for about two years (2011-​12). I only stopped going because of a job change, but if I can make it work again, I would do it in a heartbeat.
Overall, I am pleased with my investment here. First off, staff here is second-​to-​none. Pleasant to be around, very clean, informative, and accommodating. It may seem like a quick one-​and-​done deal once you’re in, but everyone from receptionists to doctors do an exceptional job in addressing my needs (if you speak up, they listen) especially considering a caseload like theirs where there may be up to 5 clients at once. My wait times never exceeded 15 minutes, even on days when I ran late. My consultation/​report of findings visits were thorough and provided me what I needed to make a conscious long-​term investment for my wellness. Results were gradual, but noticeable. Posture improved, energy levels heightened, overall mood improved. I have subluxation, and they really helped curb a lot of the issues associated with that. I completed many long runs during my treatment here and got through two painful knee/​IT band injuries. Spence is fantastic in my book, but may take a little getting used to for some. I used his other associate doctors mostly for treatment, and periodically checked in with Spence, and that worked well for me. I had a massage here too once. It was pretty good and convenient at the time, but I recommend shopping around for that.
Per-​visit rates were ok; they are considerably better when prepaid, as with many places. You get refunded any unused visits, so its a win-​win.
Say yes to life, and give this place a try.

In March of this year I began chiropractic care in this office. When i first started i had numbness in my head pain throughout my back and pain in my left leg. I wasn’t a chiropractic believer but my girlfriend insisted I should go and so i finally did and was amazed with the results! I had instant pain relief with just one adjustment, the numbness in my head went away and the pain in my leg just disappeared. Dr. Spence and Dr. Terry are GREAT! There Dr.‘s and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. I honestly wouldn’t recommend friends and family to any other chiropractor.

I’ve been going here since 2007 and have been very happy with everything. The staff are friendly/​down to earth, pricing is competitive, and I’m always amazed at how much better I feel after my treatments. Highly recommended.

Really not worth going with all the lies because they overcharge you, you can find a better place that care less about money and more about your health, the usual wait for adjustment is around 30minutes and I felt the doctor treats me like any other patient without paying attention to my specific problem, the recipient over schedule patients and the doctor end up spending 2 minutes on each patient.

Doctor Spence is fantastic! His practice is smooth flowing, and I love how they always decorate for the holidays! Releza is one of the best ‘receptionists’ I’ve seen in a while. And Dr. Spence’s obvious talent for fixing ailing backs, & ligaments goes without saying. Great chiropractor, especially for one that i would consider a ‘bone cruncher’.

I started going to Dr. Spence in 2004, randomly picked out of the phone book. I was satisfied with the service for a while, quietly disregarding their high-​pressure sales. I left dissatisfied by lies from staff and deceitfulness from Dr. Christopher Spence. I tried going back to him this past year (2012) but to find that his practice had only gotten worse. After taking my wife to see him (extending the benefit of the doubt one last time) we were met with 1.) mischeduled appointment from what was told to us, 2.) over charged for extra x-​rays that she did not need, and 3.) twice being lied to about when they would review x-​rays and initial findings. After 3 visits and adjustments we still have NOT received any consult for her. WE WILL NEVER GO BACK TO SPENCE CHIROPRACTIC. Dishonest, deceitful, and care more for $$$ than for people.

I been going to Dr. Spence for over Ten Years. He and his staff are very friendly and professional. I have recommended him to many friends. When I started I couldn’t turn my neck without pain. After a few sessions I been Pain free with much better mobility since I started years ago. He really seems to care about his clients.

The staff at Spence Chiropractic Center are so kind and helpful. No mater how busy they are they take the time to greet everyone coming in the door by their name. I was referred to the center after a car accident involving myself and my 12 year old daughter. We were both pretty banged up and in a lot of pain. Dr. Spence was so thorough with our assessments and explained our treatment plans in a way that my child could understand what was going on too. We get most of our adjustments from Dr. Plante who is amazing. Not happy about how I found Spence Chiropractic but really happy that I did.

I couldn’t function without Dr. Spence! I have scoliosis and he keeps my back in tip top shape. Dr. Spence is so incredibly nice and his staff makes you feel at home. I had my dad go to him when his back was so bad he could barely walk. He was able to walk without pain for the first time in years after a few treatments! I would recommend Dr. Spence to anyone who needs a great chiropractor that really cares about you and your well being. Thanks Dr. Spence!

The staff is always jovial, pleasant, & flexible to my schedules. Always clean, informative, and very concerned as to how it goes.
I wish more would learn about the service & coming here is where it «rocks».
The Dr. s really do care and it shows in their business.
