Dr. Phil Scheets: Chiropractor and Co-Founder
From a young age, Dr. Phil knew he wanted to pursue a career in the medical field and was a pre-med student in college—until he realized he wasn't fond of the sight of blood. After graduation, he worked as a high school teacher and baseball coach, supplementing his income by loading trucks.
During this time, Dr. Phil sustained an injury in a forklift accident, prompting him to seek care from conventional medical doctors. For eight months, he suffered from debilitating pain without any answers from his physicians, except for a recommendation for spinal surgery. Unexpectedly, he received a call from a local chiropractic office offering a free consultation. With nothing to lose, he decided to give it a try.
Dr. Phil knew he had found his true calling when chiropractic care transformed his life. Instead of applying for a master's program in education, he enrolled in a chiropractic college.
Chiropractic Education and Extensive Experience
Dr. Phil earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in Marietta, Georgia, in 1999. He began practicing immediately in New Jersey, where he remained for 18 years. When the cold winters lost their appeal, Dr. Phil relocated to Jacksonville, where he could enjoy year-round golf. He practiced as an associate chiropractor for five years before opening Duval Spine & Rehab to offer our patients the comprehensive and in-depth care they need to live life to the fullest.
Having experienced a serious injury himself, Dr. Phil is passionate about helping patients who have sustained injuries from sports, work, or auto accidents—and his care doesn't stop when you're out of pain. Assisting patients to understand their body's ability to achieve optimal wellness without relying on medication or surgery is a fundamental part of Dr. Phil's approach to chiropractic care.
An Active Family Life
As a lifelong athlete, Dr. Phil golfs as much as he can. He works out daily, is active in his church, and is the proud father of six children—three girls and three boys—and three Balinese cats.
