Experience:
After graduation with his Doctorate degree in Chiropractic, Dr. Spencer was hired to be the chiropractor at Baystate Physical Therapy/MCR in Boston, MA. Here he used both chiropractic care and physical therapy for hundreds of patients focusing on both chiropractic techniques and PT and worked closely with incredibly skilled physical therapists.
He focuses his practice on wellness and treating orthopedic (spine and extremity) injuries. He also helps patients with auto accident and workers comp injuries, sports injuries and non-operative disc treatments. By working closely with the best PCPs, neurologists, orthopedic surgeons, and other healthcare specialists in Connecticut, we can provide patients with personalized care.
Chiropractor and Lifestyle Philosophy:
His belief that health-span (the number of years a person lives with FULL function) should be almost more important than life-span (how long a person lives). By combining all aspects of preventative health care including nutrition, exercise, and chiropractic care with great patient education, Dr. Hackett hopes to achieve freedom of disease, injury, and stress for his patients.
Personal:
In his free time, he enjoys resistance training, hiking, golfing, and cooking. Additionally, he also enjoys staying up to date on the most current literature on both exercise and nutrition. He enjoys keeping up with his alma mater, Sacred Heart’s lacrosse team where he played for 4 years.
What to Expect:
During your first visit, you’ll receive a thorough consultation, spinal assessment, and review of your medical history. Following this, prior test results like x-ray films, MRI results or labs will be consulted and or recommended (imaging taken typically at a Hartford Healthcare center). Based on this information, Dr. Hackett will subsequently design a personalized treatment plan based on your condition, lifestyle, and health goals.
Our approach often includes safe chiropractor-based adjustments and techniques, specific and safe rehab exercises, nutritional support, and ergonomic advice to promote healing and prevent reinjury. Follow-up visits are tailored to your progress, with continuous evaluation to ensure optimal results.
Treatment recommendations are always based on three criteria:
- Best available evidence-based practice guidelines and standard of care
- Physicians’ expertise and experience with similar conditions
- AND patients’ comfort, goals and trust.
