Dealing With Chronic Spinal Issues? We've Got Your Back.
If you suffer from sciatica, degenerative disc disease or any other conditions that cause back pain, you may find it difficult to complete everyday tasks. Disc Hydration therapy may be able to help you manage the symptoms of your chronic back condition.

Disc Hydration therapy is a non-surgical chiropractic service designed by Dr. Tidwell to decompress discs and stretch the spine to decrease pressure and improve mobility.

Here's what you can expect when you begin spinal decompression therapy at Tidwell Chiropractic & Laser Center:

• Your sessions will last for about 20 minutes
• Your sessions will involve a combination of gentle stretching and muscle stimulation
• You may start to see results within one month

Most patients come in for decompression therapy three times per week. Our chiropractor may also recommend at-home stretches and exercises. Call 205-752-7503 today to schedule a consultation with a chiropractor in Tuscaloosa, AL.

Maybe you're struggling with pain after an accident or injury. Or maybe you find yourself waking up stiff and sore every morning. Sounds like you could use a spinal adjustment.

During a spinal adjustment, a chiropractor uses their hands or small tools to realign vertebrae.

Tidwell Chiropractic & Laser Center offers spinal adjustment services to clients who are struggling with chronic back pain. Chiropractic adjustments may also help improve your posture and range of motion.


Soothe Sore Muscles


Tidwell Chiropractic & Laser Center also offers manipulation diathermy, a form of heat therapy that has been known to help with back and neck pain caused by conditions like arthritis. Some clients also find that this type of therapy:

• Promotes relaxation
• Prevents muscle spasms
• Prevents stiffness

Chronic back and neck pain will only get worse over time, so it's better to see a chiropractor sooner rather than later. Contact us today to find out if manipulation diathermy is right for you.Chronic back and neck pain will only get worse over time, so it's better to see a chiropractor sooner rather than later.

If you're dealing with back, neck or shoulder pain, a spinal x-ray can provide our chiropractors with an in-depth look into your body's skeletal structure.

These types of scans can detect fractures, disc degeneration, dislocations, and spinal stenosis.
