Dr. Jeremiah Carlson, chiropractic physician
Dr. Jeremiah Carlson is a Florida-licensed chiropractic physician (CH9264) serving the Jacksonville community at Jacksonville Chiropractic and Acupuncture, on R G Skinner Parkway in Southside. He earned his Doctor of Chiropractic from National University of Health Sciences (NUHS) in 2006. He is certified in acupuncture (listed on his Florida license) and trained in dry needling, which is covered under that certification, and he combines chiropractic adjustments with corrective exercise, lifestyle coaching, and nutrition guidance.
His approach is what he calls a “whole person” approach: look for the underlying reasons behind pain and dysfunction, not just the spot that hurts, and build a plan that fits your life.
Along with adjustments, Dr. Carlson offers laser therapy, Graston (instrument-assisted soft tissue), cupping, kids’ chiropractic, acupuncture, dry needling, and chiropractic physiotherapy (exercise & rehab). For posture he uses Janda’s upper and lower crossed syndrome model.
When your PIP benefits run out, we bill your health insurance, which keeps your out-of-pocket cost down.

Common questions
Can chiropractors prescribe medication in Florida?
No. Florida chiropractic physicians don’t prescribe prescription drugs. If you need medication, we coordinate with your medical doctor or another qualified medical provider.
Will I get X-rays?
We don’t take X-rays in our office. If your history and exam call for imaging, we refer you out and coordinate it.
Do you take my insurance?
We bill most major health insurance plans. When your PIP benefits run out, we bill your health insurance, which keeps your out-of-pocket cost down. Call or text 904-619-2703 to verify.
What should I avoid after an adjustment?
Mild soreness for a day is common. Stay gently active, drink water, and avoid heavy lifting or intense workouts right afterward if you’re sore. Call us if anything feels worse rather than better.
Imaging, referrals, and your care team
We have good working relationships with orthopedic and neurology groups in Jacksonville and refer when appropriate. An MRI is often an important step in identifying soft-tissue injury after a crash — discs, ligaments, and other tissues that an X-ray does not show. We don’t do imaging in our office. We coordinate it and work with all MRI facilities in Jacksonville. We don’t promise a particular finding or outcome.
We work with everyone involved in the case: patients, insurers, attorneys, and other providers. We work with all attorneys. Do I need an MRI after a car accident?

Dr. Carlson is a life saver. Was so worried about finding someone I trust when moved to town. But Dr. Carlson knows his stuff and is an incredible adjuster to boot. I have dealt with neck issues for years and Dr. Carlson has helped prevent any and all flare ups before they happen.

I moved to Florida and left behind a chiropractor I trusted and had a really hard time finding one down here that I liked! When I finally found Dr Carlson I could have cried. I was in desperate need of some TLC when it came to my spine! In just two visits I felt immensely better and now I go regularly to keep my body healthy! The staff here are so nice and friendly and are always so welcoming and helpful! If I could give 10 stars I would!

Just go here!!!! I can not say enough good things about Dr. Carlson. … some try to get you to sign up for a year plan, but Dr. Carlson is straight forward, only going to recommend what you need, and his prices are fair. … As a dental hygienist, I struggle with back pain, neck pain, and extreme muscle tension and he’s helped me tremendously. … He never makes you feel rushed, or unheard. I’m loyal to him for life, if I move I will drive or fly to see this guy, that’s how good he is.

I've known Doc for over 20 years. When he first started, he was covering for a chiropractor I have been seeing at the time who was on an extended leave. I just followed him through a couple practice changes and stayed with them for however long he's been on his own. He has as an easy going way of being as well as understands how my body works. I referred both my husband and friends to him. They all use him. I just wish I could teleport him to wherever I am when I'm out of town and need him. Highly recommended.
