The Joint Chiropractic - Maple Grove

Dr. Steve Beilby became part of The Joint Chiropractic’s network of local doctors in 2016 when he joined the Maple Grove location.

A 2001 graduate of Northwestern, Dr. Beilby says the thing he likes best about the chiropractic field is the opportunity “to help a ton of people.”

“The other thing I love is the scope of practice flexibility,” he says.

Having worked previously in Roseville, Worthington and Milford, Dr. Beilby says the thing he likes best about working in the Maple Grove clinic is seeing new cases daily. He loves to help people -- lots of people.

In his spare time, he enjoys being active. Not only does he go to the gym regularly, but he also enjoys golf, disc golf, and basketball.

He says he knew that chiropractic was the right journey on his career path after giving it ample consideration. “It was a good fit for my analytic approach to problems,” Dr. Beilby says.

Dr. Beilby says nature’s miracle food is the one thing he must keep a steady supply of in his refrigerator: “Eggs. I eat lots of eggs.”

He also likes to bury the rock, so given the opportunity to gather together any figures from history for his ideal dinner party, he would bring together Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Kevin Garnett. “They,” he understates, “are really good at basketball.”

At the prospect of considering the coolest thing he has ever done, Dr. Beilby jokes that there’s no good answer. “I’m pretty sure I’m considered old now,” he says, “and therefore, by definition, I can no longer do cool things.”

Dr. Kongcheng Lo was born and raised in St. Paul, MN. In his younger years, he played soccer, baseball and also enjoyed riding his bike around his neighborhood. Growing up he always wanted to become a doctor and that led him down the path to being a chiropractor. He attended school at Northwestern College and graduated in 2011 and has now been practicing for 5 years.

Dr. Lo still currently resides in St. Paul with his wife and three beautiful girls.  Outside of work he enjoys going to their dance recitals, martial arts classes and participating in their Girl Scout troop as well as going on motorcycle rides when the weather is nice.

Dr. John McKeague has been practicing at The Joint in the metro area since 2015. A graduate of Northwestern Health Sciences University, Dr. McKeague leads our Region by wearing many hats. His focuses include developing the market. hiring, training. and certifying our doctors, as well and treating patients in our Apple Valley, Bloomington, Burnsville, Eagan, Maple Grove, Roseville and Woodbury clinics.

“The thing I like best about being in the chiropractic field is affecting the community in a positive way on a daily basis,” he says. “The other thing I really love is working with athletes and kids.”

In his spare time, Dr. McKeague enjoys spending time outdoors, typically hiking or fishing. He and wife Kari also delight in playing with their two sons and daughter, and overseeing their cat, Lucy.

Dr. McKeague says he became interested in chiropractic when he was a college athlete and he recognized how much it helped him. “After shadowing some doctors at some chiropractic offices, I knew I wanted to do that,” he says.

As a doctor who sees patients in multiple locations, Dr. McKeague sees many different people, which fits right in with his love for the craft of healing with his hands. He gets to spread the message to more people.

“I love The Joint’s focus on the importance of wellness care and the positive impact it has on your life,” he says.

Dr. McKeague likes it spicy. The one item he must have in his refrigerator at all times is hot sauce. “I have been a chili head from the age of 1,” he explains, “and living in a bland world would be rough.”

Given an opportunity to put together the dinner party of his dreams with various figures from history, Dr. McKeague would gather together those he says have had the most influence on his life: Egyptian ruler Cleopatra, inventor/futurist Nikola Tesla, businessman Elon Musk and comedian/host Joe Rogan.

But rather than ask questions of Cleopatra, Dr. McKeague says he would much rather have the opportunity to have dinner with himself at various points in his lifetime, “say the 10-, 25-, 50- and 80-year-old versions of me.”

“They would all be very different people, which I think would be fascinating to actually see,” Dr. McKeague says. “I think it would be cool to learn from the past and things that I may have forgotten about, and to see where I am going in the future.”

He says the coolest thing he has ever done was become a father because every day is an adventure. “Outside the lame dad answer,” he says, “I took a 100-mile hike through the canyons in Utah that was pretty amazing.”
