Why Patients Trust Bell District Spine & Rehab
For 27 years, Dr. Tuggle has treated the Central Texas community with one goal in mind: get to the root cause of pain and resolve it — not just manage it.
That commitment has shaped a practice built on continuing education, advanced certifications, and equipment most clinics simply don’t invest in. The result is a more complete approach to diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term recovery.
Training That Goes Far Beyond Chiropractic School
A chiropractic degree is the starting point. What separates real clinical expertise is what happens after graduation — the years of postgraduate training most practitioners never pursue.

- Nerve entrapments
Movement & Performance Assessment

- Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) Levels 1 & 2

Sport-Specific Certifications

- Graston Technique — Essential & Advanced Training

- Certified Kinesio Taping Practitioner (CKTP)
Each certification represents dedicated postgraduate coursework and hands-on clinical hours — training chosen specifically to treat the patients who walk through our doors: people dealing with real, often chronic back pain who need more than a generic adjustment.

Central Texas
One Practice. Every Tool Your Recovery Needs.
Most patients dealing with chronic or severe back pain have already tried the basics. What they need is a provider who can accurately assess why the pain is happening.
From there, treatment can combine the right manual therapy, technology, spinal care, and rehabilitation — without bouncing between five different offices to get it.
That’s what nearly three decades of clinical experience, a wall of postgraduate certifications, and a fully equipped facility make possible at Bell District Spine and Rehab.
