Douglas
Meyer, DC
From the beginning, Dr. Meyer had a desire to help people and to ensure that they would be able to live their life to the fullest capacity. His passion was to help people eliminate pain while improving their quality of life. He has helped thousands of people LIVE their life naturally without the need for drugs
and surgery. He established his own approach which included a customized treatment plan: thorough history, comprehensive exam, report of findings, active treatment and home routine which includes exercises, stretching and nutrition. His belief was that after the initial treatment, the patient would have
a solid understanding of their condition, the length of treatment needed for change/ correction and a home plan to improve results. He also believes in a collaboration of other health professions to maximize the patient care / results. Dr. Meyer truly believes in a TEAM approach. There’s no I in team.
Dr. Meyer was born and raised in Washington, MO where he graduated from Washington High School. He was active in sports and played football and basketball where he witnessed and experienced multiple injuries. These experiences enhanced his desire to become a healthcare provider. He just had to decide
which path. His senior year in high school, he was able to take a health occupation course in which he was able to shadow multiple professions including orthopedic surgery, chiropractic, acupuncture, ER medicine, physical therapy and radiology. Dr. Meyer was fascinated with all fields but especially orthopedics. He witnessed multiple surgeries and thought that this was his avenue. He was initially accepted to a fast track Medical doctor (MD) program but decided to start pre-medicine training at Truman State University. While training, he decided to switch directions and help people without the
use of drugs or surgeries. He attended Logan university with this goal in mind and was always found taking extra courses in the evenings or weekends to increase his knowledge and develop multiple tools to help patient’s conditions improve. Dr. Meyer graduated in 1999 with a Doctor of Chiropractic and
Acupuncture degree and started Meyer Chiropractic & Acupuncture in Hermann and Montgomery City MO. (He worked with a group of medical doctors initially and began his integrated team approach. His approach was to find the best treatment options for all his patients.) He continued to gain knowledge by
taking continuing education courses on the weekends and studying globally which included extensive training in China and Korea. This passion and dedication continues today.
In his spare time, Dr. Meyer enjoys spending quality family time with his wife, Christina and daughters, Aspen and Brynn. He loves watching their theatre performances and enjoys most outside activities including hiking, biking, kayaking, skiing and roller blading. Dr. Meyer believes that life is short, so live
life to its fullest. His goal is to help people enjoy life and LIVE a long healthy life.
