Wonderful team! I feel the are dedicated to helping each patient. I always feel like they are listening to my concerns and address them with manageable steps and a professional approach.
After a car crash, pain can show up days later. We check for hidden injuries before they get worse.

Whiplash doesn't always hurt right away. Many Maple Grove patients feel fine at first. Then they wake up stiff two days later. We've treated drivers hit on I-94 near Weaver Lake Road. We've also helped parents hit near Arbor Lakes. Neck pain, headaches, numb hands, and low back tightness are common signs. Waiting too long can let scar tissue form around hurt joints. The Mayo Clinic says whiplash pain can take 24 hours to show up. [1] We use digital X-ray and Motion Study Analysis to find the real cause of pain.
A fast hit can stretch neck muscles too far. This often causes stiffness, headaches, and less motion.
Crash forces can jolt your spine and strain back muscles. Some patients also get disc issues from the hit.
A sudden hit can push disc material out of place. This can press on nerves and cause pain in your leg or arm.
Neck injuries often cause tension headaches. Dizziness can mean a deeper issue in your upper spine. Blurry vision or ringing in your ears can show up too. Many patients think these signs are just stress or bad sleep.
Seatbelt pressure can strain your shoulder joint. This pain sometimes spreads into your arm and hand.
Some injuries don't hurt until days later. Adrenaline can hide pain right after the crash. You might feel fine and drive home without a mark. Then your neck locks up two mornings later. This delay is common. It doesn't mean the injury is small.
An untreated accident injury can turn into pain that stays. Dr. Tieri is trained in whiplash and spine care at the Spine Research Institute of San Diego. We use digital X-ray and Motion Study Analysis to find the real cause of your pain. Then we make a plan to fix it, not just hide it.
The sooner we check your spine after a crash, the better you'll heal. Call Total Spine Health & Injury Center to get checked today.
We start with a full exam and build your plan from there. This way nothing gets missed. We check your neck, back, and joints for hidden damage. We also ask about your daily habits and job tasks. That way your care fits your real life, not a copy-paste plan.
We take digital X-rays and run a Motion Study Analysis. This shows us exactly where the injury is and how bad it is.
Dr. Tieri builds a plan using Gonstead adjustments, spinal decompression, or MLS laser therapy. It depends on your injury. We explain every step so you know what's happening.
We track how you're doing at each visit. If something isn't getting better, we change the plan instead of doing the same thing again.
Cost depends on your injury and how many visits you need. Many auto accident cases are covered by Minnesota no-fault auto insurance. This pays for care after a crash. We'll check your coverage before we start, so there are no surprises. Mayo Clinic says early care for whiplash often means faster healing. [1] We always explain costs before any care starts.
Wonderful team! I feel the are dedicated to helping each patient. I always feel like they are listening to my concerns and address them with manageable steps and a professional approach.
Very friendly very staff I feel like a new person walking out the door
I will go to total spine until the day I move out of Minnesota (which is probably never). Amazing!!! I get so excited everytime my appointments coming up 🥳
This clinic is amazing. I found it after searching for an alternative to surgery that my doctor advised for a diagnosed herniated disc in my neck. I was a bit skeptical that anything but surgery could fix my issue, given the amount of pain I had experienced for over 4 weeks with physical therapy and medication. I’m SO thankful for finding Total Spine Health & Injury Center/Dr. Brent Teiri. My plan included chiropractic, laser therapy, and traction. I started feeling less pain after 2 weeks of treatment and am back to living my life normally at the end of my treatment plan. Dr. Teiri and his team are all so caring and supportive. All around, such a great experience. I am so thankful for this team and their support for my recovery!
Staff and Dr Brent are great. Recently did spinal decompression and it felt amazing. See them regularly for my back issues.
I came to see Dr. Tieri a few months ago because my neck was giving me a lot of problems. I'd had a headache for six weeks, was having trouble sleeping, and had issues with the motor functions in my hands as well as arm pain. (By trade I am a welder so this was a massive issue for me.) He discovered that I had 4 cervical vertebrae that were not moving. I knew I had a compressed C6-C7 before I saw him but did not know things had gotten that bad.
I'm not going to go into detail but three months later it's like a new lease on life. No pain, no headaches, no electricity shooting down my arms, no swelling in my neck.... Total change in quality of life. I didn't realize how bad it was until it wasn't.
I totally recommend Total Spine and Dr. Tieri! Especially if other places just couldn't help.
Amazing 100/10 they keep me in one piece literally 💯highly recommend
The staff were always pleasant. The pain in my hips and legs was greatly reduced.
My chiropractor experience at Total Spine has been life changing for me. I have less back pain and I have increased my mobility.
Here are answers to what Maple Grove patients ask most after a crash. These questions come up at almost every first visit. We hear them from drivers hit on I-94 and from folks hit near Arbor Lakes.
Cost depends on your injury and insurance plan. Minnesota no-fault auto insurance often covers care after a crash. We check your coverage first. We explain costs before we start.
Most patients need a few weeks of care. This depends on the injury. Mild whiplash may heal in a month. Bad disc or nerve injuries can take longer.
Rest alone often isn't enough after a crash. Spine injuries can heal wrong without care. This can cause stiffness or pain that won't go away. We check your spine to catch problems early.
Most patients start with two or three visits a week. As you get better, we space visits out more. Dr. Tieri changes your schedule based on how you're healing.
Get checked within a few days, even if you feel okay. Adrenaline can hide pain right after a crash. Finding injuries early helps you heal better.
Watch for neck stiffness, headaches, or numb hands. Low back pain is also a sign. Dizziness or pain in your arms or legs matters too. Any of these should get checked.
Many of our patients use Minnesota no-fault auto insurance. We give you papers that show your injury and care. We also work with lawyers when you need one.
