The Doctor

Dr. Bruce Gelch, D.C.

Doctor of Chiropractic

Dr. Bruce M. Gelch has been practicing chiropractic in Pembroke Pines, Florida since August of 1995. Dr. Gelch has always been active in sports and athletics and wanted to be in a field where he can help others achieve a higher degree of health and wellness.

Ever since he was a child, he suffered with lower back pain, which became progressively worse over time. He was also the sick type, always the one to catch a cold or flu. Dr. Gelch did not understand why he was so sickly.

His journey to chiropractic did not happen right away. He initially chose a different career path and a degree from the University of Florida. After working a few years, he felt dissatisfied and was lacking a sense of purpose. It was while he was working and again suffering with lower back pain that he sought out chiropractic care. Dr. Gelch not only began to feel less lower back pain, but also healthier and was curious as to why that was happening. He began to have an interest in chiropractic care. An inner calling, made him visit LifeChiropracticCollege. He came back and resigned from his job and began a career in chiropractic. He never looked back.

Dr. Gelch's purpose is to help others get out of pain and achieve a higher level of health and wellness and not be reliant of medication to get healthy.

Dr. Gelch chose Pembroke Pines to begin his chiropractic career, since he was coming to this city since the early 1980's to visit his grandparents who relocated to Pembroke Pines. He found this city to be a working/family community, much like the one he grew up in.

Dr. Gelch has been active thru the years with The Pembroke Pines Optimist Club, donating his time to youth football and performing hundreds of physicals. He has been the team chiropractor for the Miramar Football Team. Dr. Gelch has served as a team chiropractor for a semi pro football team in the SSFL. He has lectured various local businesses, police departments, and organizations on health related issues.

He has helped thousands of local residents feel better and regain their health since opening his practice in 1995. Dr. Gelch incorporates teaching his patients about exercise, weight training, proper biomechanics of exercise, proper nutrition, emotional well being and keeping a healthy and functioning nervous system. He feels the more a patient knows about health, the better chance they have to stay and get well. Dr. Gelch is a strong proponent of maintenance care and not just waiting to get sick, before taking care of oneself.

Dr. Gelch is married to his wife Debra and they are active in raising their twin daughters, Rachel and Tori. His family regularly gets chiropractic care and practices a wellness lifestyle. He is active in coaching his daughter's soccer team. Dr. Gelch enjoys exercising, running, where he has done several half marathons and playing basketball.

Dr. Gelch has office locations in Ft.Myers and Naples to serve other communities as well.
