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.
Has disc pain, sciatica, or numbness lasted for weeks? Spinal decompression can help. It takes pressure off the nerve. No surgery needed.

Disc pain rarely goes away on its own. In our experience, people wait too long to get checked. If you have shooting leg pain or numbness, it's time to check things out. A bulging or herniated disc that hasn't gotten better with rest needs care. Icy winters in Maple Grove cause lots of injuries. A slip in an Arbor Lakes parking lot can happen fast. Shoveling snow can strain your back too. These things can lead to disc problems that stick around. Drivers who sit through long I-94 commutes often get the same nerve pressure from bad posture. We see this all the time. Spinal decompression gently stretches your spine. This takes pressure off the disc and nerve roots. You can learn more in this overview of spinal decompression therapy [1]. Waiting usually makes disc problems worse, not better. The sooner we find the cause, the sooner we can fix it.
A disc pushing on a nerve causes sharp pain down the leg or arm. Decompression makes room so the disc can heal.
Numbness or burning pain down the leg often comes from nerve pressure in your lower back. We target the real cause.
Discs wear down over time, especially in our growing 55+ Maple Grove community. Decompression helps restore disc height and ease stiffness.
A narrow spinal canal pinches nerves and makes your legs tired. Gentle stretching can ease that pressure.
Whiplash and car crashes often hurt discs that don't show symptoms right away. We check for this with digital X-ray.
Long-term stiffness from desk jobs or old sports injuries gets better with decompression plus adjustments.
Disc problems that go untreated tend to get worse. Dr. Tieri uses digital X-ray and Motion Study Analysis to see what's going on in your spine first. You get one doctor, steady care, and a plan built just for your injury. We don't do one-size-fits-all plans here.
You don't have to keep treating pain with ice packs and pills. Call Total Spine Health & Injury Center to find out what's really going on. One thing most people don't realize: the longer you wait, the harder it gets to fix.
Here's what happens from your first call to real relief.
Dr. Tieri checks your spine and takes digital X-rays to find the exact disc or nerve at fault. No guessing, no copy-paste plans.
Based on your scans and Motion Study Analysis, we build a decompression plan just for your injury. Sessions are gentle and you stay fully dressed.
We pair decompression with Gonstead adjustments and laser therapy when needed. We check your progress often and adjust the plan as you heal.
Cost depends on how many sessions your disc needs. It also depends on whether you add other care like laser or massage. Auto accident cases are often covered by insurance claims. We can help you sort it out. We have referral ties to Maple Grove Hospital. We give you a clear plan and price before any care starts. No surprise bills. No pressure to buy a package you don't need.

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 the answers Maple Grove patients ask us most.
Cost depends on how many sessions you need, usually between $75 and $1,800 total. Auto accident injuries are often covered by insurance. We'll give you a clear number after your first exam.
Most sessions run about 20 to 30 minutes. You lie down while the table gently stretches your spine. Most patients find it relaxing, not painful.
Home tools can't target the exact disc causing your pain. Dr. Tieri uses X-ray and Motion Study Analysis to find the right spot. Doing it wrong at home can make a herniated disc worse. We've seen that happen more than once.
Adjustments fix joint alignment, while decompression takes pressure off the disc. We often use both together for disc injuries. Each one treats a different part of the problem.
The sooner, the better, especially after a car crash or bad fall. Discs that stay squeezed too long heal slower. We see this a lot after winter slip-and-falls near Arbor Lakes.
Shooting leg pain, numbness, tingling, or back pain that won't ease up are common signs. Pain that gets worse when sitting is another clue. Dr. Tieri can confirm this with a digital X-ray exam.
Yes, many of our patients commute to Minneapolis and sit most of the day. That posture squeezes discs over time and causes sciatic nerve pain. Decompression plus adjustments help reverse that pressure.
