The Joint Chiropractic - Arnold

Dr. Patrick Meuth -- you can call him Dr. Patrick -- joined The Joint Chiropractic in 2017 and serves as the lead chiropractor and clinic director for the Arnold location. He received his doctorate from Logan University College of Chiropractic.

“The best thing about being in the chiropractic field is being able to help people get out of pain and improve their quality of life,” he says. “I also love it when I am able to help people with conditions they didn’t think that I would be able to help them with.”

Raised in St. Peters, Dr. Patrick worked in Union before landing in Arnold. His hobbies include supporting the Georgia Bulldogs football program.

He and wife Brittni, who’s studying to be a nurse, have a corgi Labrador mix named Honey, and two parakeets named Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee.

Dr. Patrick’s first-hand experience with chiropractic led him him to the profession.

“I was dealing with severe low back pain myself for over a year, and after a week of chiropractic care I was feeling so much relief,” he says. “At that moment, I knew this is what I wanted to do with my life.”

The thing he likes best about working at the Arnold clinic is the people and the staff. “Our location has a very close-knit group of people working here that is always friendly and willing to go out of the way for both our patients and each other,” he says.

In Case You Didn’t Know

Dr. Patrick says he must always have fruit around the house. “Fresh fruit, especially blueberries,” he says. “They are powerful antioxidants and have a lot of vitamins in them. Also, they’re delicious.”

Given the opportunity to have a dinner party with anyone in history, Dr. Patrick says he would like to sit down with Daniel David Palmer, Hippocrates of Kos, running back Herschel Walker and Johnny Cash.

“Palmer is the father of chiropractic, and I would include Hippocrates because of his influence on modern medicine,” Dr. Patrick says. “Herschel Walker is the greatest Georgia football player of all-time, and I would like to have Johnny Cash due to his influence on music both in his time and today.”

He says the coolest thing he has ever done was go for some very long runs. “Prior to getting into chiropractic, I had run three marathons,” Dr. Patrick says. “I feel this is cool because it really tests the body’s endurance, as well as the mind’s endurance.”

Dr. Emily Paszkiewicz joined The Joint Chiropractic network in 2017, and she splits time in Arnold and Cottleville. She has a bachelor’s degree in human biology, as well as her doctorate, from Logan University’s College of Chiropractic. Dr. Emily, as she likes to be be called -- and her patients thank her for it -- loves being part of the chiropractic field. “The thing I like best is being able to help people get out of pain and function better holistically,” she says. “The other thing is being able to help the whole family, from babies to kids to parents to grandparents.” It’s not surprising that Dr. Emily likes being able to impact the entire spectrum of family, because it’s with her family that she enjoys spending her downtime. She has lived most of her life in the St. Louis area.
