A native of the small mining town of Williamson, West Virginia, Dr. Spencer Wilson experienced first hand the ravaging effects the opioid epidemic has on peoples lives and the community. This unfortunate reality led him to search for an alternative way to fighting pain, improving peoples lives while still having the opportunity to be involved with athletes. This search led him to becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic where he has the ability to do both of these things. His goals as a chiropractor are to provide evidence guided care to improve health outcomes and provide high quality education about his patient’s health. Dr. Wilson joined Performance Chiropractic in 2022 where he could make these goals a reality and help the Greater Cincinnati athletes be their best.
Dr. Wilson attended Palmer college of chiropractic in Port Orange, Florida where he found his way to be a strong diagnostician and chiropractic adjuster. During his time there he also realized he wanted to practice ethically and rejected common policies that some chiropractors resort to such as; x-raying every patient and long non-medically necessary treatment plans. Instead he chose to focus on high quality care that gets the patient healthy quickly and corrects the root of the problem. He also had the incredible opportunity while at Palmer to do a sports internship with the athletic department at Bethune Cookman University. During his time there he worked closely with the athletes helping them improve movement to increase performance while preventing injury as well as work to get injured athletes back to their sport. Prior to chiropractic school Dr. Wilson attended Marshall University graduating with an Exercise Sports Science degree. While studying at Marshall he met his fiancé Alexis. He is still a big Marshall fan and loves to cheer on his alma mater!
When he is not at the office you will find him cheering on his alma mater Marshall University or brewing some beer. He is an avid home brewer as you can tell from his two dogs names, Brutus, a silver lab, and Barley, a golden-doodle. You may even find him traveling in another state as he has traveled to 36 states so far.
