A Different Kind of Wellness Studio

OC Well Studio was founded in Newport Beach in 2012 by chiropractor and acupuncturist Dr. Tara Pierce with a simple idea: healthcare should feel personal, thoughtful and effective, not rushed or built around unnecessarily long treatment plans.

Today, the studio brings together advanced treatments and experienced practitioners across chiropractic, acupuncture, dry needling, focused shockwave therapy and therapeutic massage. Our goal isn't to keep you coming back forever. It's to help you understand what's going on, choose the right treatment and get back to feeling like yourself.
