Dr. Brenda O'Niel

My name is Dr. Brenda O’Neil. I was born in Hollywood but raised between Wisconsin and Utah. I have five brothers.

I’m also a proud mom of three — Nate (11), Zack (8), and my two-year-old baby, Brenleigh!

I graduated from MIZZOU (University of Missouri, Columbia) in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in biology before attending Logan College of Chiropractic in Chesterfield, Missouri, where I graduated on December 17, 2011.

During my internship at the Atlas Institute of Health, I fell in love with the HIO Toggle Technique of upper cervical chiropractic.

After graduation, I worked as an associate in Clarksville, TN, then became the Clinic Director of a personal injury clinic in Sterling, Virginia. Later, I opened my own clinic back in Clarksville and also did fill-in work for The Joint, where I fell in love with their mission of making chiropractic affordable for everyone!

After discovering this business model, I joined forces with my best friend from chiropractic school, Dr. Billie McElwrath, and together we opened our first Joint location in Middletown, KY, in 2022.

My technique combines several chiropractic approaches, but I focus on adjusting only the specific areas that truly need manipulation — rather than broad, high-velocity adjustments. This method works especially well for people suffering from migraines, headaches, vertigo, tinnitus, and fibromyalgia.

Outside of work, I love movies and go to the drive-in every week with my family to watch the classics. I also have a major sweet tooth — there’s always a drawer full of candy hidden in my bedroom! And I love to travel — I’ve lived in eleven different states!
