Meet Dr. Douglas Meyer
Founder & Lead Clinician
Since 1999, Dr. Doug Meyer has been a dedicated partner in health for the Hermann and Montgomery City communities. His journey began with a simple but powerful desire: to help people live life to their fullest capacity, naturally. Today, that mission is driven by a personal mantra that guides his practice and his life: "Be the good you want to see in the world."
A Mission of Measurable Change
Dr. Meyer believes that healthcare is a partnership, not a cycle of codependency. His goal isn’t just to provide relief, but to make measurable changes that allow patients to regain control of their own health. He is passionate about teaching people how to understand their bodies—knowing when there is a problem that needs to be addressed and how to maintain wellness long-term.
Through the years, he has remained in awe of the power of Acupuncture and clinical nutrition. It brings him great joy to help couples navigate fertility issues, see neuropathy patients finally feel their feet again, or help individuals overcome chronic allergies and inflammation.
The Road to Chiropractic & Nutrition
Born and raised in Washington, MO, Dr. Meyer grew up playing football and basketball. Witnessing injuries firsthand sparked his interest in medicine. During a health occupation course in high school, he shadowed everything from ER medicine to orthopedic surgery. While he was initially accepted into a fast-track Medical Doctor (MD) program, his heart shifted during pre-med at Truman State University. He realized he wanted to help people thrive without the use of drugs or surgeries.
He chose Logan University, where he was always found taking extra courses to expand his "tool kit." After graduating in 1999 with a degree in Chiropractic and Acupuncture, he opened Meyer Chiropractic, Acupuncture & Nutrition. His dedication has taken him globally, including extensive training in China and Korea, ensuring his patients have access to world-class care right here at home.
Mentorship & Growing the Profession
Dr. Meyer is deeply committed to the next generation of healthcare providers. He finds great fulfillment in mentoring interns of all ages and welcoming students to shadow him. He is incredibly proud of hometown Montgomery City "kid" Hannah Schroer, who graduated from Mizzou with honors and is currently a Logan University student in the class of 2028. Seeing students like Hannah pursue their passion for chiropractic care is one of the most rewarding aspects of his career.
A Blessed Work Family
Dr. Meyer feels truly blessed to be surrounded by a "work family" that shares his heart for service. He is grateful for the dedicated team of Dr. Hayden, Tracy, Missy, and Hannah, and especially for Angie, who has been a cornerstone of the practice since 2010. Most importantly, he recognizes his partner, Christina, as the magic behind it all from the very beginning.
Beyond the Clinic
Dr. Meyer leads by example, staying active through weight lifting and running. He is a firm believer in the mindset: "Be stronger than your excuses." His curiosity about the world goes beyond the physical; he has long been fascinated by the "mystery of life" and vibrational frequencies, a passion sparked by the book The Celestine Prophecy.
His favorite movie quote comes from Field of Dreams: "If you build it, they will come." He has spent the last 25 years building a practice rooted in sincerity, and he continues to be honored by the families who walk through his doors. Above all, he cherishes time with Christina and their daughters, Aspen and Brynn. Whether he’s in the office or watching his daughters’ theatre performances, Dr. Meyer’s goal is simple: to help people enjoy a long, healthy, and vibrant life.
