Meet the Team at Adjusted Life Chiropractic
Dr. Spencer
Hey, I’m Dr. Spencer! I love educating our practice members, it’s so cool to see the “light bulb” turn on when they understand their body and the connections between their story and their health. Most days you’ll find me at a coffee shop around town meeting with friends and collegues to learn from each other on all things life, business, or how to grow a sweet beard. I am most known as the chiropractor with the red beard, and while I didn’t come out of the womb with this beard, I have had it since my undergraduate days.
I was born and raised in Fremont, Nebraska where I got my first taste of small business ownership as I watched (or rather worked for free) family members open and run their own businesses, including my parents! I went to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to study Food Science with a special focus on food allergies. Struggles with food allergies, including anaphylactic shock, is a large part of my chiropractic story.
I’ve always had a desire to be a chiropractor. I attended graduate school at Palmer College of Chiropractic and immersed myself in all sorts of clubs and classes. Early on in school I discovered my passion for pediatric chiropractic. Helping kids thrive and grow up healthy is the best. There is no filter with kiddos and they will let you know what they are thinking and feeling, so when a kiddo tells me “my head doesn’t hurt!” or my personal favorite, “I pooped!” there’s just nothing better. Our mission is simple, help families start living their Adjusted Life.
Bonus fact: I love to play tennis! When I studied abroad in Spain, I stopped in London for a week to watch Wimbeldon which was absolutely incredible. My next trip is to go to Australia to watch the Australian Open!
I LOVE to chop wood! We installed a wood stove to heat our home, so I’ve enjoyed stocking our backyard with all the wood Lincoln has to offer.

Casey
Hi there, I’m Casey! I am Dr. Spencer’s wife and boss lady here at Adjusted Life Chiropractic. You’ll often find me behind the front desk chatting away with practice members or on the floor in the kids corner reading books with little ones. Outside of the office I am a lover of sunshine, Netflix, running, and traveling. You’ll often find us exploring new places or traveling again and again to our favorite spots.
I grew up in Urbandale, Iowa and while I am a proud (and often overly giddy when I meet others from my homestate) Iowan, I came to adopt Nebraska as my home as well. I came to Lincoln by way of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where I met the bearded doctor in the Cornhusker Marching Band. While in chiropractic school, Dr. Spencer and I made the decision to open our own practice where we dreamt of creating a space for families to find hope and healing.
Dr. Spencer introduced me to chiropractic and it was love at first adjustment. Suffering from panic attacks and anxiety, consistent chiropractic care has allowed me to thrive and feel more like myself. My favorite part of this job is learning our practice members’ stories. Each person comes to chiropractic in such a unique way and I want to honor their story and stand alongside them through this journey.
Bonus fact: My dad loves to tease me about how I splashed around in the Mediterranean Sea when my family was stationed in Italy, but since I was a whole 2 years old I have no remembrance of being overseas. So, very top of my bucket list is to go back to Italy!!
Mark
Hi, I’m Mark! As a chiropractor assistant at Adjusted Life Chiropractic, I manage all the front desk operations and do a lot of inpatient processing. What I love most about my job is interacting with people. It’s so nice to meet new faces, talk to our practice members, really get to know them, and then lead them to a better-adjusted life.
Before I started working here I didn’t have much exposure to chiropractic care, and didn’t think any chiropractor could do anything. But I’ve been able to flip that perspective in my life now that I’m getting adjusted myself. I’ve seen improvements in my overall health and experienced positive physical, mental, and even emotional changes. I’ve gone from waking up with back pain to waking up in the morning and, feeling energized and like I’m a healthy person again.
When I’m not working, I love being outdoors. Just being able to go on a nice walk or hike and being able to reconnect with nature is definitely the place where I find myself having the most fun and where I have the most peace.
I truly love working with the team here. It’s taken me from feeling like I have to work in an independent mindset to feeling like I can work well as part of any team. I know that I can fully rely on my team members as much as I can with a trusted friend!
