Manual Osteopath’s with the DO distinction have earned a Doctor of Osteopathy Degree. DOs believe there’s more to good health than the absence of pain or disease. As guardians of wellness, DOs focus on prevention by gaining a deeper understanding of your lifestyle and environment, rather than just treating your symptoms.

It makes a difference when your practitioner is trained to truly listen. To pay more attention to you than your chart. To look beyond the symptoms and take the time to get to know you as a whole person.

Listening to you and partnering in your care are at the heart of our holistic, empathic approach to healthcare. We are trained to promote the body’s natural tendency toward health and self-healing. We practice according to the latest science and use the latest technology.

Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment, or OMT, is a set of techniques used by Manual Osteopaths to diagnose, treat and prevent illness and injury.

Using OMT, a Manual Osteopath moves a patient’s muscles and joints using techniques including stretching, gentle pressure and resistance.

OMT can help patients of all ages and backgrounds.  In many cases, the treatment can be used to complement, or even replace, drugs or surgery.

Our clinic’s founder and Manual Osteopath, Spencer Jean, DO, DO(MP), MBA treats patient’s of all demographics.  Although he has a special interest in Chronic Pain, Sports Injury and Prevention, he does treat a variety of other conditions.

Generally speaking, Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment is able to treat most non-surgical orthopaedic conditions.

Since 2015, Spencer Jean, DO, DO(MP), MBA has been practicing manual osteopathy in his hometown of Tecumseh, ON as the only Manual Osteopath in Windsor Educated with a Doctorate of Osteopathy Degree.  After completing his undergraduate studies in Health Sciences on dual academic and hockey scholarships at Adrian College and Florida Gulf Coast University he signed a professional playing contract with the Florida Everblades in the ECHL.  Unfortunately, injuries forced his retirement from hockey BUT this lead him to his career in osteopathy.

After completing 5890 hours of study, he obtained his Doctor of Osteopathy Degree and Diploma in Osteopathic Manual Practice at the National University of Medical Sciences and the National Academy of Osteopathy.  During his final year of studies, he completed an internship at Boston Universities Sport Legacy Institute and became certified as a Brain Injury Specialist through the American Academy of Certified Brain Injury Specialists.

Once practicing, Spencer completed his MBA in Healthcare Administration through NUMSS and University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business.  He continues his education through CEU’s through various institutions but mainly through Michigan State’s College of Osteopathic Medicine.

Spencer goes to great lengths to deliver the best care for his patients, understanding and meeting their every need. He has unique insights into injuries as a patient and practitioner.  His practice is fairly diverse as he treats a variety of neuromusculoskeletal conditions in patients of all ages and demographics.  His youngest patient is currently 2 weeks old and his oldest patient is 99 years of age.  He is a contracted practitioner of several NHL’s Teams and treats many other professional and Olympic athletes. His focus and special interest is in Sports Injury, Chronic Pain, Non-Surgical Orthopaedics and Preventative Healthcare.

Outside his practice, he enjoys family time with his wife Jordyn and son Theodore, traveling, playing golf, functional exercise training, hockey, playing with his 2 dogs and 4 cats, the odd marathon, and is heavily involved in his community through several volunteer and charitable roles.

Spencer is also a Professor at his osteopathy alma mater NUMSS.

Spencer Jean, DO & Associates was established in 2015 as a division of Community Chiropractic Center in Tecumseh, Ontario, when Spencer Jean, DO, DO(MP), MBA joined and expanded the existing practice with his expertise in the field of Osteopathy.  In 2022, our clinic evolved and moved into a new office still within Tecumseh Medical Plaza.

Through this expansion, we have been able to provide exceptional care for both existing and new patients throughout our local community and worldwide with having patients traveling from overseas to achieve a better quality of life.

Our approach is simple. We believe in a holistic patient centred approach to healthcare, rather than disease or ailment centred.  We understand that no patient is the same as one before and because of that we have adopted an algorithm-like system to provide specific treatment protocols based around the patient and not the patients condition.  We also believe in a multi-disciplinary approach for our patients and utilize all of our healthcare experts when it is determined that it is in the best interest of the patient to collaborate as we all have a different approach and skill set to achieve the same goal.

Whether it is acute pain, chronic pain, sports injury, paediatrics, prenatal, postnatal, wellness or performance enhancement, we have a solution for you and your condition.  We have a wide variety of patient demographics ranging from new borns, the elderly, professional/ olympic athletes, and everyone in between.
