Meet the Doctors
Our chiropractors, Pierce and Alexandra Sweeney, have been trained by many of the greats in different programs through BIRTHFIT, the ICPA and Claudia Anrig’s First Adjustment to name a few. We make sure to keep up on the latest and greatest information that pertains to pregnancy and pediatrics so that our patients get the best care possible.

Dr. Pierce has always been an athlete, so he has always had a soft spot in his heart for athletes and weekend warriors.Since graduating, he has kept up his research and studies in evidence-based care. As he learned more about pregnancy and postpartum he saw the athleticism pregnancy, labor and delivery took and noticed that moms were essentially great athletes with supremely compromised cores once they hit postpartum. You will hear him regularly say, you basically become an Olympic weightlifter with a core that no longer exists with all of the things you need when you have baby…
In addition to being Webster Certified, using his knowledge, clinical experience, and his background in the sports medicine realm, he saw a need in this patient population for a guide on how to treat, find and perform functional exercises that are catered to each individual. He created and has successfully been implementing a technique, that he calls The BIRD Method.
We’re on your team.
We like to say we are all on the same team working to the same ultimate goal, getting you better. We want to make sure you can get back to doing the things you love most as quickly as possible. If we can help you get out of pain and back to life, then we know that we did our job.

Dr. Alex is a native to San Antonio, but went to college at the University of Missouri (Go Tigers!), getting her bachelor’s degree in Anthropology. She has always been fascinated with how the body works and its ability to heal itself, which she believes is only enhanced through chiropractic care.
She has a soft spot in her heart for kids and looks forward to giving them their first adjustment. While she was at Logan getting her Doctorate of Chiropractic, she also gained a passion for helping pregnant women. Pregnancy can take a toll on a woman’s body and she wants to help moms-to-be have an enjoyable pregnancy. She furthered her education, in order to have a better understanding on how to help pregnant and pediatric patients, through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association’s weekend seminars and becoming Webster Certified.
She also took the chance during 2020 to take the BIRTHFIT series and is currently one of San Antonio’s only BIRTHFIT Leaders.
She has currently taken a step back to focus on being present with their first baby as much as possible. Sometimes, if you’re lucky enough, he will assist her in the office.
We are excited to help you reach your goals!
Our chiropractors know the techniques to help you have fewer aches and pains, get you and baby ready for the labor you desire and rehab your body after the birth. Let us take the stress out of your journey to motherhood so you can enjoy building your relationship with your baby and be the mama you were meant to be.
Since Dr. Alex had a high risk pregnancy followed by a C-Section, Dr. Pierce has stepped up and is the primary doctor at The Nest, seeing most of our patients for now. She is slowly making her way back into the office, and looking forward to meeting all of you soon!
