With over 25 years of experience and service as a spine care specialist, Dr. Bruce Bell firmly believes in the importance of a "team approach" to health care. Having spent 14 years of his career working within an orthopedic surgical group, he has worked closely with orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, pain management specialists, physiatrists, internists, acupuncturists, and physical therapists as part of a multidisciplinary health care team. As a result, he continues to develop multidisciplinary relationships with local physicians and medical specialists in order to continue providing comprehensive health care to the his community and surrounding areas. Conveniently located at the "hub" of San Diego's South Bay in the upscale community of Otay Ranch in Chula Vista, Dr. Bell typically works with primary care physicians, neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, and physical therapists in order to meet the needs of his patients .

His extensive participation in both competitive and recreational sports and resultant interest in sports medicine have led him to further his training and gain valuable experience in treating a wide range of athletic injuries.  He has been privileged to have been chosen by World Champion Professional Athletes and World Record Holding Olympic Athletes as their treating physician. His treatment methods have enabled them to resume competition and continue winning at national and international levels. As an active member of the American Academy of Spine Physicians, he also has extensive training and experience in medical forensics as a Certified Industrial Disability Examiner, and was first appointed by the State of California Industrial Medical Council as a Qualified Medical Evaluator in 1991.  His many years of experience in evaluating and treating injured workers and victims of motor vehicle accidents have enabled him to testify in court as an expert  witness on numerous occasions.

Dr. Bell's pursuit of excellence in patient care has led him to establish a "state of the art" Nonsurgical Spine Center of Excellence, specializing in the nonsurgical treatment of severe and chronic neck and lower back pain. His primary concern is for the healing and relief of his patients through proper diagnosis, understanding, and advanced evidence based treatment methods. Blending his many years of practice in both the multidisciplinary medical  and complimentary alternative medicine environments, Dr. Bell is able to provide a unique perspective based on the most recent research, enabling him to provide comprehensive, non-invasive solutions to the complex problems faced by his patients .
