Meet The Doctors
Dr. Ted Dower brings energy, heart, and a passion for movement to The Joint Chiropractic in Hoover, Alabama, where he has been serving patients since April 2024. A Magna Cum Laude graduate of Life University’s Doctor of Chiropractic program, Dr. Dower also holds a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS). His journey into chiropractic was driven by a simple but powerful motivation: to improve the quality of people’s lives.
Raised in Hutchinson, Kansas, Dr. Dower’s Midwestern roots taught him the value of hard work and consistency—principles he carries into his care. He attended Sterling College before pursuing chiropractic and has built a life with his wife, Sarah, and their three sons, Tom, Whit, and Ty. At home, the Dower family is rounded out by Socks, their cat with plenty of personality. When he’s not in the clinic, Dr. Dower can be found lifting weights, reading, or simply enjoying time playing with his boys.
What Dr. Dower loves most about chiropractic is seeing instant results—the way an adjustment can quickly improve mobility and decrease discomfort. He believes these moments are not only rewarding for patients but also affirming for him as a doctor. What makes The Joint special to him is the chance to build long-term relationships with patients, walking with them through their wellness journey.
When asked about the coolest thing he’s ever done, Dr. Dower doesn’t hesitate: hitchhiking across Colorado with friends. It was adventurous, unpredictable, and packed with memories that remind him to embrace life’s journeys. His favorite words to live by come from Aristotle: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit.”
At The Joint Hoover, Dr. Dower blends clinical skill with genuine connection, helping patients not only move better but live better—one adjustment, one habit, one step at a time.
With a career spanning more than two decades, Dr. Bryan McDonald brings both expertise and passion to The Joint Chiropractic, where he serves patients in both Tuscaloosa and Hoover. A graduate of Texas Chiropractic College (Class of 2003), he also holds a Bachelor of Science in Education from the University of Alabama. While he once weighed a future in physical therapy, Dr. McDonald ultimately chose chiropractic—a decision rooted in his love of working with people and helping them feel better.
Born in Kennesaw, Georgia, Dr. McDonald moved to Tuscaloosa at the age of 13 and quickly made it home. He has since built his career, family, and community connections here. Married to Kelly, with a daughter, Gabrielle, and their Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Belle, Dr. McDonald enjoys a full life both in and out of the clinic. He’s passionate about fitness and wellness, training regularly in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, lifting weights, wakesurfing, and simply enjoying time with his family.
Beyond The Joint, Dr. McDonald has spent the last 18 years working closely with the University of Alabama athletic program as a chiropractor. He’s been on the sidelines for multiple national championships and proudly counts the opportunity to work with Coach Nick Saban—whom he calls “the best coach ever”—as one of the highlights of his career.
For Dr. McDonald, chiropractic care is about more than adjustments—it’s about increasing quality of life and helping people move through their days with less pain and more energy. He loves meeting new patients, hearing their stories, and watching their lives transform through care. His favorite motto sums up his approach to both life and practice: “If you're gonna fight, fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp to Noah’s Ark… and brother, it’s starting to rain.”
At The Joint Tuscaloosa and Hoover, Dr. McDonald combines professional skill, athletic insight, and a personal touch, helping patients of all ages discover the benefits of chiropractic care.
With over 25 years of chiropractic experience, Dr. Darrin Wright brings both wisdom and warmth to The Joint Chiropractic in Hoover, Alabama, where he has been serving patients since May 2025. A proud graduate of Life College (Class of ’98), he first earned his B.S. in Biology before following his passion for natural healing. For Dr. Wright, chiropractic is more than biomechanics—it’s a philosophy rooted in the body’s innate intelligence, flowing above, down, inside, and out.
Originally from New Orleans, Dr. Wright infuses his practice with the heart and spirit of his hometown. He studied at LSU and UAB, building not just his education but also a deep appreciation for people and community. Away from the clinic, he and his wife have raised three daughters and a son, and he enjoys nothing more than cooking for family and friends—a natural extension of his love for bringing comfort and care to others.
What he treasures most about working at The Joint is meeting people from all walks of life. To him, chiropractic is not just about adjustments but about offering a way of life—helping patients move, live, and thrive at their best. His favorite reminder to share is simple: chiropractic isn’t only about how you feel, it’s about how you live. He also carries with him a guiding philosophy from Aristotle: “Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.”
And for a fun glimpse behind the doctor’s coat? Dr. Wright has ridden in Mardi Gras parades through the heart of New Orleans—an experience he calls “wild.” Still, he’ll tell you nothing compares to the unforgettable joy of watching his children be born.
At The Joint Hoover, Dr. Wright combines decades of expertise with a neighborly smile, offering care that helps every patient experience the difference of healing from the inside out.
