Dr. Chip Studley, D.C. earned his Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a Biology emphasis from the University of California, Davis before graduating from Palmer West Chiropractic College with his Doctorate of Chiropractic in 2006. While in chiropractic school, Dr. Studley was active with the Palmer Sports Council, providing on-field care for a variety of athletic events including the Highland Games, the Sea Otter Classic, semi-professional football (Daly City Renegades), and regional soccer tournaments.
During his training, Dr. Studley pursued advanced coursework and electives that helped him build a strong clinical foundation and a broad range of treatment skills. His postgraduate and clinical training includes On-Field Emergency Protocols, Active Release Technique (ART), Cervical Trauma (Whiplash) Protocols, Activator Methods, Thompson Technique, and Flexion-Distraction Technique.
While at Palmer, Dr. Studley was an active member of the Student American Chiropractic Association, serving as both Vice President and President. He has continued advocating for both his profession and his patients throughout his career, serving on the board of the Sacramento Valley District of the California Chiropractic Association for over 20 years. During that time he has held several leadership roles, including President, Secretary, and currently Treasurer.
Outside the office, Dr. Studley enjoys spending time with his family—his wife Sara, son Emerson, daughter Kaylin, and their dogs Fenway and Zoey. He also enjoys live music, cooking, camping, fishing, paddle boarding, weight training, cycling, and playing sports including pickleball, tennis, and golf.
Commitment to Veterans
I come from a military family—both of my grandfathers and my father served, and I chose to follow in their footsteps.
Just twelve days after graduating high school, I left for basic training and began my service in the United States Air Force. I served for four years, including deployments to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, before separating from the military in 1996.
Having served myself, I maintain a deep respect for my fellow servicemen and servicewomen—both active duty and veterans—and for the commitment to something greater than oneself that military service represents.
Today, as a civilian and a Disabled Veteran, I feel a strong responsibility to give back to those who have sacrificed in service to our country. I am committed to helping as many Disabled Veterans as possible live full, active lives by providing care that supports their recovery, mobility, and long-term well-being.

I've been seeing Dr. Studley for almost a decade now, and I truly can’t imagine managing my degenerative disc disease and neck pain without his care. During my worst flare-ups, he’s always there with expert adjustments that bring real relief — not just temporarily, but in a way that helps me function and feel human again. What sets him apart isn’t just his skill (which is outstanding), but his genuine compassion for his patients. He listens, he remembers your history, and he treats you like a person — not a number on a schedule. Every visit feels supportive, encouraging, and focused on long-term wellness, not quick fixes. If you’re dealing with chronic pain or just want a chiropractor who truly cares about your health, I cannot recommend him highly enough.Posted on Carmen MoyersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. i've been with Dr Studley for a little over 2 years. He's reliable, has good availability, is kind, has good technique (I've had a lot of chiros), and the ART he does makes such a difference in recovery! 1 yr ago I tweeked something, i couldn't even walk - after 3 visits I was able to walk out of the clinic. It still took a lot of strength training to finish recovery - but I can't imagine how long being able to walk without him!Posted on m_ ramosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Studley has been a wonderful chiropractor since I started seeing him for my neck and back pain years ago. My pain specialist referred their office to me since I was in massive pain after my horrible car accident in 2015. I was hesitant at first as I had bad experiences with a previous chiropractor, but Dr. Studley always listens to my concerns and helps me with adjustments every time I go in. I always feel better and have less pain each visit without always depending on medication to fix the problem. I recommend seeing him if you're in search of a chiropractor. They're definitely worth going to for pain relief.Posted on Ro TambunanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I have been going to Dr. Studley since 2022. Not only is he one of the best chiropractors, but he is also kind and friendly. He genuinely cares about his patients and wants what’s best for them. He has helped me immensely with my back, neck, and shoulder pain. He always takes his time, listens, and makes me feel comfortable. He recommends what’s best for his patients and never pushes or pressures them for extra services. The clinic is clean and welcoming, and on top of that, they have the most helpful, warm, and friendly person at the front desk, Kelly. The whole team at Studley Chiropractic deserves a 5-star review. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for the best chiropractic care."Posted on Kim OliverTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Chip Studley is amazing! His chiropractic skills are top-notch, and he’s one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. He genuinely cares about his patients and takes the time to make sure you’re comfortable and feeling your best. I always leave his office feeling great!Posted on Jesika KoscoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Not only is Studley a fantastic chiropractor, he is a wonderful human! He sincerely cares about his patients and wants the best for them. I was pretty nervous about seeing a chiropractor. But after years of suffering in pain, from a torn LCL and lateral meniscus and all the side affects of the injury, (hip flexor, knee, lower back, foot and neck pain), I decided to see Dr. Studley after a coworkers recommendation. I made the request for an appointment online and revived a prompt response from their team via Kelly. I was able to send back all documentation via email and set up my first appointment, which made the process seamless and very easy. Kelly explained everything simply from what to expect and what my insurance covered for office visits. If you haven’t talked to Kelly, he is also an amazing human being. His energy with a simple “good morning” can change your entire day. Kelly is kind, considerate, and relatable. This place is full of good human staff. During my first appointment, I was very nervous. Dr. Studley was calm and made sure I was comfortable while walking me through the process. As a woman, I can get a bit nervous with male doctors because I just don’t know them. I NEVER felt uncomfortable with Dr Studley not his staff. It is a safe and secure environment for one to heal. My first visit was life changing. Almost all of my pain was gone, and my body felt amazing. I have seen seeing Studley weekly for a few months now. My pain is almost nonexistent and I have “grown” half an inch. Dr Studley and Kelly are amazing and I’m truly blessed to have found them. Do not hesitate! Book with Dr Studley now! ☺️Posted on Angie VictorineTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Studley is great !!. He really help me after my car accident .

Went and saw Dr. Studley today and was my first visit to a chiropractor. I like many have had an aversion to chiropractors for really no other reason that my personal perception of them, plus I have trust issues. That aside he came highly referred and had some neck pain. He wasn't rushed, didn't try and sign me up for some long program with a promise to fix my issues. He sat listened to my issues worked on my neck, gave me an adjustment and recommended treatment as necessary. Really appreciate that he didn't try and force me into "his program" but listened and adjusted according to my needs. I wouldn't have any reservation recommending something to go see him who is trying to navigate pain.

After 1 month of weekly visits, I feel so much better. He really is fixing a 20 year old problem.Posted on Emma T.Verified My husband and I love coming here for adjustments. The office is lovely and the office manager is so friendly and kind. Dr. Studley takes his time addressing each of our issues and individualizes each of our treatments. He does so much more than just adjust us, he also works to find the root cause and addresses muscle tightness etc. Both my husband and I always leave here feeling so much better! My husband even remarked that coming to Dr. Studley "has changed his life". I mean what more can I say?!Posted on Emily M.Verified Very kind, knowledgeable chiropractor. I didn't feel rushed and Dr. Studley focused on problem areas and adjusted based on my concerns. I am pretty picky when it comes to chiropractors after working for one for years, but I do trust Dr. Studley and highly recommend him.Posted on Alexa H.Verified Dr Studley and his staff were honestly the highlight of day when I had an appointment. Dr. Studley is kind, patient and very accommodating with any issues you may or may not have. He listened to any issue or fear I had and worked with me to create a plan for my visits that would help me heal at a pace that I was comfortable with. He helped me after my car accident and I can honestly say helped with my pain so much and helped me improve leaps and bounds from before I had first seen him. I will definitely return if I ever need to.Posted on Webb S.Verified Went in to treat really sore shoulder. Dr. Studley provided diagnosis and immediately improved shoulder pain. Also got referral for imaging and really good explanation of condition. I'd highly recommend.Posted on Geovanni V.Verified After dealing with back pain for years and have visited a few different chiropractors, I was going in with Studley thinking same old same old only it was not. On the first visit, he set up a plan to get me back on track and went above and beyond in getting me back on track. After a few weeks, I was already feeling much, much better. I also recommended some of my friends who were also dealing with back issues, and they were blown away by how professional, carring, and competent their experience was. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone and will guarantee they will love it. Thank you Studley for everything you did for me.Posted on Astrid M.Verified After dealing with back pain for years and have visited a few different chiropractors, I was going in with Studley thinking same old same old only it was not.

His kindness and support was exactly what I needed as I attempted to regain a lot of functioning I had lost.
