Owner/ Lead Doctor

Dr. Brantley Meier
Owner/ Lead Doctor
Dr. Brantley Meier is the owner and lead doctor of The Bridge Chiropractic located in North Charleston, SC. As a former professional baseball player, he has experienced first-hand the incredible power and success of chiropractic. After suffering a career ending injury, he had extensive experience with chiropractic, physical therapy, and orthopedics. Seeing the healing power and life changing effectiveness of chiropractic, he knew that improving people’s lives through chiropractic was his purpose and calling.
Prior to becoming a chiropractor, Dr. Meier had always been involved in elite athletics. He was an all-state high school athlete in multiple sports, broke multiple records at his college for Div 1 baseball, played professional baseball, and was recruited for two Olympic teams. Instead of pursuing a career in athletics, Dr. Meier wanted to use all he had learned and accomplished to serve and help others reach their physical potential. After earning his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Sherman College, Dr. Meier returned home to Charleston, SC. Born and raised as a Charlestonian, he is dedicated to taking care of his family and neighbors throughout the entire city. For many years, he has been heavily involved in volunteering in a multitude of ways. He has spent time in various prison ministries through Impact Sports, and for years he was an active board member for Carolina Miracle League, an organization dedicated to children with special needs in sports. Currently, he is a board member for Charleston Animal Society and helps with underprivileged youth sports. Passionate about elite performance and maximizing the body’s potential, he still works with multiple Major League Baseball teams and professional and Olympicl athletes across a variety of sports. When he is not treating patients or volunteering, he enjoys power-lifting, mixed martial arts, and spending time with his puppy, Koda. Dr. Meier is excited to help you take control of your health and to optimize all that you have to offer!
