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.
Tight muscles and back pain can slow you down. A back massage can help. It loosens the knots so you can move again.

Desk workers who drive I-94 into Minneapolis often get tight shoulders. They also get a stiff low back from sitting all day. Weekend warriors who shovel heavy snow in Fernbrook and Weaver Lake feel it too by February. Muscle tension builds slowly. If you ignore it, it can squeeze nerves and joints. A good massage boosts blood flow and helps muscles let go. Studies show it can cut pain and stress.[1] We've seen patients wait months to book. They always wish they'd come in sooner. Don't make that same mistake.
Commuters from Elm Creek Business Park often carry stress in their upper back. This comes from hours at a desk. Massage loosens those tight muscle bands.
Heavy, wet snow in older Weaver Lake driveways strains the low back fast. We help ease that tightness before it becomes a bigger problem.
Youth hockey and soccer parents often need relief too. Carrying gear bags and standing on cold rinks adds up fast.
Long-standing tightness around the spine responds well to massage plus chiropractic adjustment.
Massage after a chiropractic adjustment helps muscles stay relaxed. This helps the correction last longer.
Life gets busy, and stress often settles right between your shoulder blades. A back massage helps you reset.
Tight muscles rarely fix themselves on their own. Left alone, they pull on joints. This can lead to bigger problems later. Dr. Tieri and our licensed massage therapists work as a team. Your massage supports your whole spine, not just the sore spot. In our experience, this team approach gets better results.
Don't let tight muscles run your week. Call us and we'll set you up with our massage therapist. We'll loop in Dr. Tieri if your spine needs a closer look. We've helped hundreds of Maple Grove folks feel like themselves again.
We keep things simple so you know what to expect. From your first call to the table.
You tell us where it hurts and how long it's bothered you. If it looks like a spine issue, Dr. Tieri may take a quick look first.
Our licensed massage therapist works the tight spots. We use pressure that matches your comfort level. We focus on your back, neck, and shoulders as needed.
We'll tell you what to do at home to keep muscles loose. If we spot a deeper issue, we'll talk about next steps, like an adjustment or decompression.
Pricing depends on how long your session runs and if it's paired with chiropractic care. A focused back massage costs less than a full body session. Many patients combine it with an adjustment for better results. We'll always tell you the price before we start, no surprises on your bill. Many insurance plans also help cover massage as part of a treatment plan.

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 us most.
Most sessions cost $60 to $150. It depends on length and if it's paired with chiropractic care. We'll give you a clear price first. Some insurance plans cover part of the cost too.
A typical session runs 30 to 60 minutes. We match the time to your tension level. Longer sessions work well for ongoing pain.
It depends on what's causing your pain. Muscle tightness often responds well to massage alone. But if there's a spine or disc issue, Dr. Tieri can check it. He'll help pick the right plan for you.
It depends on your lifestyle and pain level. Desk workers often do well with monthly visits. Patients healing from an injury may need weekly sessions for a while. One thing most people don't realize: waiting too long between visits lets tension build back up fast.
If your pain is new or sharp, don't wait too long. Tight muscles can pull on joints and get worse. Calling early usually means a faster fix. We say this a lot, but it's true.
Stiffness after sitting, tight shoulders, or a dull low back ache are common signs. Many Maple Grove patients feel it after shoveling snow or long drives. If stretching doesn't help, it's time to call.
Massage can ease muscle tension around a disc problem. But it won't fix the disc itself. Dr. Tieri may suggest spinal decompression along with massage for lasting relief. We'll check your spine first to find the right plan.
