Dr. Anthony Hayden, chiropractor at Meyer Chiropractic, Acupuncture and Nutrition in Missouri.

Meet Dr. Anthony Hayden

Practicing Clinician

Originally from Vicksburg, Mississippi, Dr. Anthony Hayden is a highly respected clinician known for his thorough diagnostic approach and his ability to connect with patients from all walks of life. A lifelong athlete, Dr. Hayden brings the discipline of a collegiate competitor to the clinic, having played soccer and run track at Millsaps College, where he graduated with a degree in Biology and Sociology.

Clinical Expertise & Experience

Dr. Hayden’s journey into chiropractic care was born out of a desire to find a better way to heal and perform. After graduating from Logan University in 2019, he honed his skills as a clinician in Atlanta, Georgia, and later within a large-scale wellness and injury clinic.

Now an integral part of the team at Meyer Chiropractic, Acupuncture & Nutrition, Dr. Hayden is recognized for his deep understanding of biomechanics and his commitment to the "Meyer Method" of care. He is a firm believer that the best results come from a partnership between doctor and patient—focused on measurable changes rather than a cycle of codependency.

A Mission of Resilience & Real Life

Reflecting on his own athletic career, Dr. Hayden’s mission is to provide the "body literacy" he wishes he had as a younger athlete. He knows firsthand that proper care doesn't just treat an injury—it builds resilience.

Dr. Hayden is anchored by his faith and lives by the verse: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." This foundation of strength and service drives him to help every patient—from high-school athletes to busy parents—recognize the early signs of a problem so they can address it before it slows them down.

A Blessed Partnership

Dr. Hayden feels incredibly fortunate to practice alongside Dr. Meyer and a dedicated staff that feels like family. He values the deep-rooted trust that Angie, Tracy, Missy, and Hannah have built with our patients over the years, and he takes great pride in being part of the "magic" that Christina and Dr. Meyer started back in 1999.

Beyond the Clinic

When he is not in the office, Dr. Hayden is an outdoor enthusiast and a devoted family man. He and his wife, Sarah, are the proud parents of their energetic 5-year-old son, Amias, their beautiful baby girl, Simea, and three rescue dogs.

An avid reader and seeker of knowledge, Dr. Hayden is fascinated by the intersection of ancestral health and modern living. You’ll often find him discussing books like The Paleo Cardiologist, Dopamine Nation, or A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century. He is also a fan of epic storytelling and a good bit of grit, often quoting 300: “Their arrows will block out the sun, so we will fight in the shade.”

Whether he’s on the soccer field, listening to an audiobook like Know Your Why, or revisiting the classic Where the Red Fern Grows, Dr. Hayden lives out the healthy, active, and purposeful lifestyle he encourages for every one of his patients.
