Dr. Samantha Diehl became part of The Joint Chiropractic’s family of healthcare providers in 2014 when she began serving patients at the Shiloh, Glen Carbon and Columbia clinic locations. A graduate of Jefferson College and Logan College of Chiropractic, she earned a doctorate in chiropractic as well as a bachelor’s degree in biology.
Dr. Samantha, as she likes to be called, loves being involved in the chiropractic field.
“I love seeing people’s lives change when they feel great for the first time in a long time,” she says. “The other thing I love is working in a profession where patients are happy to see me every week.”
A product of Cedar Hill, Mo., Dr. Samantha previously worked in the Missouri cities of O’Fallon and St. Peters.
When she’s not looking after two daughters and their two bunnies, Dr. Samantha enjoys singing, painting and running.
She says she knew chiropractic was her calling when she got some awesome feedback -- but not from a patient, but his wife.
“One time a woman I had never met before came into my office to thank me for saving her marriage because I had been treating her husband and he was so much nicer to her now, like the ‘old Jim’ now that he was out of pain,” she says.
Dr. Samantha loves serving as the local chiropractor in such a military-rich region. “I like the community near Scott Air Force Base because I enjoy serving those who serve our country,” she says.
In Case You Didn’t Know
Dr. Samantha says the one thing she always keeps in her refrigerator are “cold bottles of water: A fresh start always improves my day and makes me feel better.”
If she had the opportunity to meet any four people from history, Dr. Samantha says she would love to sit down with Princess Diana, Stephen Hawking, Aristotle, and Tony Robbins.
“I aspire to live my life with the same level of class and tenacity as Princess Diana,” she says. “She was an iconic, inspirational woman who overcame adversity and social class barriers for a man she loved who she then divorced in an act of self-respect and preservation due to his infidelity and incompetence as a potential king. Despite the misdealings of the royal family on her for snubbing their beloved Prince Charles, Princess Diana refocused her heartbroken energy into healing and helping those less fortunate with an intense passion that touched the whole world.
“I would love to open a conversation between Stephen Hawking and Aristotle about new and old world science, observations and philosophies that have shaped our view of the world as we know it today. And finally, I would invite Tony Robbins because it is my life’s ambition to be a motivational public speaker to help others to reach their fullest potential to live healthy, be happy, and to help others.”
One of the most amazing experiences of her life took place in paradise. “In the same day in Hawaii, I went snorkeling at the bottom of the Captain Cook Trail, hiked up 1,300 feet, then took a bus tour to the top of Mauna Kea and star-gazed in the darkest place on the planet,” she says. “Exploring the wonders of the world and how amazing this planet is, is so cool.”
Dr. Derrick Hamilton became part of The Joint Chiropractic’s team of local healthcare providers in 2021 when he began serving residents in the St. Louis area, where he continues doing the work he finds so rewarding.
“The absolute best thing about being in the chiropractic field is the thrilling feeling I get when a patient says, ‘I have tried everything but nothing has helped, so I want to see if chiropractic will work,’ and I am able to use chiropractic to help them,” he says. “It’s so gratifying.
“The other thing I love is when a patient shares how other aspects of their life are improving from receiving chiropractic treatment, like they are standing longer or just being more active in comparison to how they lived before giving chiropractic a chance.”
A product of LIttle Rock, Ark., “Dr. Derrick” has worked previously in Peoria, Fairview Heights, and Cahokia.
If he’s not spending time with his daughter, he enjoys relaxing by reading, cooking, and bowling.
Dr. Derrick attended Hendrix College and got two bachelor’s degrees, in life sciences and in history. He then earned his doctorate of chiropractic from Logan University in Chesterfield, Mo.
“I knew chiropractic was my calling when I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and had a consultation scheduled with a cardiac surgeon,” he says, “but before the procedure was scheduled I began receiving weekly chiropractic treatment for three months. I returned to the cardiac surgeon, was evaluated, and my diagnosis was changed because my heart began functioning better. I avoided the heart surgery.”
In Case You Didn’t Know
Dr. Derrick says he always keeps tartar sauce in his refrigerator. “I’m a huge catfish fan,” he says. “It is the perfect accompaniment.”
If he could bring together any four people from history for his ideal dinner party, he would include Michelle and Barack Obama “so we could discuss their lives and experiences”; Khloe Kardashian “for her entertainment value -- she’s glamorous but has a natural sense of genuineness that escapes”’ and Neil Degrasse Tyson “for his keen intellect and ability to make astrophysics interesting and integral into all other aspects of life.”
He says the coolest thing he has done was a daddy-daughter road trip and vacation to Fripp Island, S.C. “It was the first vacation I ever planned,” he says, “and it was even more special because my teenage daughter was with me for every blunder made by this inexperienced vacation planner.”
