ABOUT US
The Wave of Light Chiropractic Story
On December 4th, 2020, Dr. Jess and Dr. Eric sat on the beach to envision their family, career, practice, and life goals. Inspired by their church’s mission to “Live Sent,” their conversation led to the dream of Wave of Light Chiropractic. They wanted their practice to be a place for helping individuals of all ages to unlock their full potential through the power of one’s nervous system. They believe that balancing the most vital communication pathway of the body is paramount for development, function, and healing. Their vision became a reality three years later as they moved from Georgia to establish Wave of Light Chiropractic in Myrtle Beach.
The name "Wave of Light" embodies a sensation of hope and healing, much like the experience of the magical moment of watching a beautiful sunrise at the beach. As the beaming light casts over the ocean's edge, a wave of warmth creates a deep-rooted peace and calming breath. It’s an instant alignment of the mind, body, and spirit. We aspire to provide this experience to our patients and our community.
Our mission is to serve as a beacon of hope and to introduce a new wave of science, love, and passion in the field of chiropractic care. We specialize in a unique approach, providing neurological chiropractic care for pediatrics, perinatal, families, and individuals, helping them to develop and thrive according to their innate potential. We are a faith-based and mission-focused practice.
At Wave of Light Chiropractic, our dedication, experience, and heartfelt commitment to service are evident in every aspect of our office. We recognize that each person’s journey is unique—some arrive in a state of wellness, while others have consulted numerous doctors without finding answers or hope for their health. In all cases, we are dedicated to supporting each individual and are honored to be part of their journey towards health.
We look forward to welcoming you to our vibrant office and hope to be a trusted partner in your and your family’s health for generations to come.
