Dr. Philip Scheets, DC

Dr. Phil Scheets is a Jacksonville chiropractor and co-founder of Duval Spine & Rehab who turned a personal injury into a mission to help others find non-surgical spine solutions. A former pre-med student who became a teacher and baseball coach, Dr. Scheets’ own recovery from a debilitating forklift injury, and a life-changing chiropractic consultation, redirected him from a career in education to one in chiropractic care. That pivot fuels his patient-first philosophy: practical, movement-focused treatments that prioritize function and quality of life over quick fixes.

A 1999 graduate of Life University, Dr. Scheets practiced in New Jersey for 18 years before relocating to Jacksonville, where he spent five years as an associate and then opened Duval Spine & Rehab to deliver comprehensive, in-depth care. His approach blends hands-on adjustments, rehabilitation strategies, and patient education to help people recover from injuries and build resilient, medication-free …wellness. At Duval Spine & Rehab, care under Dr. Scheets emphasizes the following conditions and services:

• Chiropractic consultations and spinal adjustments
• Non-surgical spine care and alternatives to recommended spinal surgery
• Sports injury diagnosis and performance-focused rehabilitation
• Work-related injury management and on-the-job recovery plans
• Auto accident injury treatment, including whiplash care
• Functional rehabilitation and movement restoration to prevent recurrence

Outside the clinic, Dr. Scheets is a lifelong athlete who golfs year-round, works out daily, participates actively in his church, and is the proud father of six children and three Balinese cats. He brings that same steady, community-minded energy to Duval Spine & Rehab, inviting Jacksonville residents to explore a pain-to-performance pathway guided by experience, empathy, and evidence-informed care.
