Bixby Knolls Wellness Center

What Bixby Knolls Wellness Center does

Bixby Knolls Wellness Center (operating as Pearl Chiropractic Inc.) is a single-location, founder-owned integrated wellness practice in Long Beach, California, opened on June 1, 2018 by Dr. Anna Pearl, D.C. The center delivers evidence-based chiropractic care (Diversified and Webster techniques), therapeutic massage, TMJ treatment, yoga therapy, Stott Pilates Reformer, personal training, and in-home prenatal/postpartum massage, supplemented by on-site affiliates for acupuncture (Dr. Soo Jin Bae), naturopathic medicine (Dr. Lisa Fillis), and skincare (Dylan Kent). The clinical team comprises three Webster-certified chiropractors, eight or more licensed/certified massage therapists, yoga and Pilates instructors, a NASM-certified personal trainer, an esthetician, and an acupuncturist — coordinating personalized, multi-modality treatment plans under one roof.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and community-led: phone- and portal-based scheduling via Patientally, walk-in-tolerant same-day availability, a published self-pay price list with package discounts (e.g., 10 chiropractic follow-ups for $675), and monthly recurring Pilates/personal training memberships ($275-$500/mo). Revenue is diversified across self-pay consumers, in-network commercial insurance (Anthem Blue Cross, Aetna, BCBS, Medicare, UnitedHealth/Optum), and VA Community Care reimbursements through TriWest. Customer segments include pregnant and postpartum women, veterans with TriWest benefits, Long Beach adults with chronic pain, athletes, perimenopausal women, and holistic-minded individuals. Marketing relies on organic social (Facebook, Instagram, Yelp), a SEO-oriented blog, wellness workshops, and active participation in the Bixby Knolls Business Improvement Association and Long Beach Moms Online — reinforcing a hyperlocal referral flywheel rather than paid acquisition.

The center received 2025 Long Beach People's Choice Awards for Best Doctor and Best Chiropractor (Dr. Pimentel), operates from 4301 Atlantic Avenue STE 5, and serves patients across Bixby Knolls, California Heights, Wrigley, Los Cerritos, North Long Beach, Signal Hill, Downtown Long Beach, and Lakewood Village. There are no patents, no funding rounds, no parent company, and no subsidiaries; the legal entity remains Pearl Chiropractic Inc. with founder ownership intact.
