Tidwell Cancer Treatment Center: Tidwell Jack MD

The Neuroscience Institute at Midtown Medical Center offers spine care and surgery by board-certified neurosurgeons. Spine care may include herniated disc, spinal cord tumors, spinal injuries, spinal instability, spinal stenosis or vertebral compression fracture and other complex cases. The Neuroscience Institute also treats both adult and pediatric spine patients with cervical, thoracic or lumbar conditions.

It is spearheaded by two well-known, board-certified neurosurgeons with extensive experience in treating back and neck pain and other neurological conditions.

The staff works with each patient to find an individualized and appropriate course of treatment. Surgical and non-surgical solutions are offered, however, the majority of patients are treated conservatively without surgery. Minimally-invasive surgery may be done when deemed appropriate.

Part of a patient's treatment plan may consist of pain management and/or therapy. Pain management is available through partnerships with physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians to relieve pain in the back, head, neck and limbs. Physical and occupational therapy are available through Columbus Regional Health's Rehabilitation Services.

The Neuroscience Institute also offers technically advanced diagnostic and treatment equipment and a dedicated in-patient unit for the most specialized treatment.
