Dr. Andrew Bell (accepting new patients)
CHIROPRACTOR
Supportive, movement-focused chiropractic care for athletes, youth, and everyday families.
Dr. Andrew Bell brings over 20 years of chiropractic experience to Triada Health Ottawa. Known for his calm, steady approach and his ability to explain complex issues reassuringly, Dr. Bell helps patients feel supported, informed, and confident in their recovery. His care is rooted in understanding how the body moves, how daily habits influence pain, and how small changes can create meaningful improvements in comfort and function.
Andrew has a special interest in youth sports injuries, supportive care for athletes and bodybuilders, and low back, SI joint, and disc-related pain. He enjoys helping active individuals move more freely, recover from injury, and return to the activities that bring them joy — whether that’s lifting, team sports, or simply keeping up with their kids.
A Personal Approach to Care
Patients often describe Dr. Bell as warm, genuine, and easy to talk to. He takes time to listen, to understand your day-to-day challenges, and to uncover the small details that influence your symptoms. His goal is always to empower patients with knowledge — what’s happening, why it’s happening, and how to improve it safely.
His background in psychology shapes his approach. He values the mind-body connection and understands how pain, stress, and movement interact. This perspective helps him support patients through both physical and emotional aspects of recovery.
Support for Athletes, Youth & Active Individuals
Outside the clinic, Dr. Bell is deeply involved in the athletic community as a youth basketball coach (West Ottawa Basketball Association). This gives him valuable insight into youth development, sport-specific mechanics, and the unique stressors affecting teen athletes.
He also enjoys strength training and weightlifting, which helps him understand the demands placed on the body during squats, deadlifts, presses, and other compound lifts. Many of his patients appreciate how well he relates to gym injuries, overuse patterns, and technique-related strain.
