The Minnesota Disc Institute is the only facility in Minnesota that provides the Advanced, Proven Effective, and Proprietary Non-Surgical NSD Method™ for the treatment of damaged discs in the neck or low back.

We specialize in the safe, noninvasive, and painless treatment of herniated discs, bulging discs, and degenerative discs, along with spinal stenosis, facet syndrome, sciatic pain, numbness & tingling in the arms, hands, fingers, legs, feet, or toes, failed back/neck surgery, and low back pain and neck pain of any kind with the NSD Method™.

The NSD Method™ is a complete and customized disc care program which implements the most progressive, effective, and non surgical treatment procedures available today, and due to our trademarked systems, qualification processes, and experience, the Minnesota Disc Institute has over a 95% success rate in eliminating, or significantly reducing our patient’s pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, and other presenting symptoms, even when all other treatment options have failed, including physical therapy, traditional chiropractic care, massage, exercise, stretching, medications, cortisone shots, and even surgery.

The Minnesota Disc Institute’s clinic founder – Dr. Jamy Antoine, DC – has consulted with patients from all over Minnesota, and several other states including Alaska, Georgia, Iowa, Wisconsin, and others. The average Minnesota Disc Institute patient drives between 1.5 to 2 hours to be seen by the doctor, with many patients driving well over 100 miles – all due to the specialized care and success rate of the NSD Method™.  Dr. Antoine at one point in his life suffered from severe neck pain due to 6 bulging and herniated discs. Now, due to his own treatment utilizing the NSD Method™ for disc care, he is pain free, and he is on a mission to help as many people as possible suffering from severe pain, weakness, numbness, tingling, and other symptoms due to damaged discs.

Rather than mask symptoms, the non-surgical NSD Method™ actually helps to repair discs, leading to long term success, rather than just short term, temporary pain relief that can be achieved with medications, epidurals, or surgery.

Our first step to helping you is to determine if you are a candidate for care by ensuring that you have an appropriate and treatable condition. We invite you into the office for a consultation where Dr. Antoine, DC, or one of our other doctors will meet with you to determine whether or not you have a condition that may respond to our care. If the doctor feels you are not a candidate for our program, other options of care will be recommended.

5 Star Review

Review: I currently live in Virginia and I've had back problems for over a year. I tried physical therapy and chiropractic; nothing worked for me. Then I heard about decompression therapy and I did try that as well. I felt good at the time and I had no pain, so I thought my problem would be resolved, but after a post-treatment MRI, I learned my disc herniation was still there, even though at the time I had no pain, and no other symptoms. After a couple of weeks, symptoms began to occur again like pinching and tingling, and then I started to not be able to sleep due to these symptoms. At that point, I started searching online and found out about the Minnesota Disc Institute and the trademarked NSD Method, which appeared to be able to solve these types of problems. I came from Virginia to Minnesota and began treatment. It's been 4 weeks and I feel good again! No pain, no pinching, no tingling!

Review: I have had low back pain from a bulging disc in my low back. I first experienced the pain 5 years ago. I tried exercise, and traditional chiropractic adjustments with limited success. I heard about the NSD Method and the Minnesota Disc Institute from a friend at church. I started treatment with Dr. Antoine 1 month ago, and my pain level has decreased by about half so far! I know with additional treatments my pain will be resolved.

Stenosis, disc herniation, and disc degeneration treatment Minnesota | Dr. Jamy Antoine

5 Star Review

Review: Stenosis, disc herniation, and disc degeneration treatment | Minnesota Disc Institute I had suffered from disc herniation, disc degeneration and spinal stenosis for 10+ years before coming to the MN Disc Institute. I tried multiple chiropractors, physical therapists, and even a personal trainer with no luck. After just a few visits, my symptoms had subsided and my overall energy and vitality had increased noticeably. It is amazing how I just got used to the pain and allowed that to define my lifestyle. I regret not doing it sooner. Truly life changing. Thanks Dr. Antoine and everyone at the Minnesota Disc Institute.

Review: I appreciate that when I had my “incident” with my lower back I had immediate access to the NSD Method of Care at the Minnesota Disc Institute for my disc problem – I didn’t have to wait weeks or months to get into to a doctor. This saved me from having to suffer a longer period of pain searching for a therapy to correct my disc issues. I felt 75% improvement after my first session and now am at 99% improvement!

Review: Without Dr. Antoine’s care I don’t know where I would be. Two years ago, I thought I would never run, dance, ski, or do the things I love ever again. Now, I am running 25 miles per week and enjoy the active life I love.  I have been able to lose 25 pounds and am training for my 4th marathon! Thanks Dr. Antoine!   LR

Review: I was suffering from severe pain in my neck and  shoulder and my tricep muscle was non existent due to atrophy. I had pain in my elbow and forearm on my left side-I was in constant pain-taking prescription medicine for pain and over the counter medication as well. I could not sleep, I would talk about how much pain I was in, sometimes almost crying. I noticed after my first week of treatment when I could flex my left arm my tricep strength was back, and the pain was diminishing-I am now off the prescription medicine, and able to put full days at work in.

Review: When I first came to the Minnesota Disc Institute, I had severe pain on the right side of my lower back and pain and weakness in my right leg. Walking was painful and difficult. I couldn’t lift even medium weight objects. Daily housework was laborious and often went neglected. Before coming to here I was prescribed prednisone and vicodin. I also tried physical therapy. I depended on the drugs to get out of bed and to make it through the day. The physical therapy made the pain worse. After the first week of treatment my pain decreased significantly; I didn’t need any painkillers at all. Now, after 20 treatments I feel back to normal. I can do all activities again. Also, because of the nutritional regimen and at home exercises I feel in better overall health than before I developed the problem that brought me here!

Review: I had severe neck pain and headaches due to several herniated discs in my neck.  I've been 4 clinics including chiropractic and acupuncture clinics.  I also had 4 epidurals, and medication, but these all failed to help with the pain.  Four weeks into care I'm feeling awesome!  SM, Hutchinson, MN
