Acupuncture in Minnetonka, MN: Natural Pain Relief at The Glen Chiropractic
Traditional acupuncture delivered personally by Dr. Arthur Hoffman, on its own or paired with chiropractic care in the same plan.
Acupuncture in Minnetonka, MN at The Glen Chiropractic & Acupunctureis traditional acupuncture performed personally by Dr. Arthur Hoffman, DC, at 11000 Cedar Lake Road. Thin, sterile needles are placed at specific points to calm tension, reduce pain signals, and support the body's own healing response.
Across the Minnetonka area, Healthgrades counts 757 chiropractors and only 206 acupuncturists, and only one other practice offers both disciplines under a single roof. Dr. Hoffman built The Glen to be that exception, so patients are not sent to a separate acupuncturist across town.
Because the same doctor plans both your chiropractic care and your acupuncture, your acupuncture response can directly shape your next adjustment, and vice versa, instead of two providers working from two different charts.
Acupuncture at The Glen is available to patients who want it as a standalone service, and also to patients who want it folded into an existing chiropractic plan, whichever fits your goals best.
What Acupuncture Helps With
Which Conditions Does Acupuncture Treat in Minnetonka?
Acupuncture at The Glen Chiropractic & Acupuncture is used most often for chronic muscle tension, stress, and pain which adjustments alone have not fully resolved, including headache relief in Minnetonka and neck pain relief.
First, Dr. Arthur Hoffman reviews the history and the exam findings before a single needle is placed. For example, acupuncture is layered onto a chiropractic plan rather than sold as a separate package, so a patient managing stubborn back pain can receive both disciplines in one Minnetonka visit. Prenatal discomfort and injury recovery are treated as well. A new patient begins with a consultation, an exam, and an adjustment for $79. The Glen holds 4.9 stars from 222 reviews.
What to Expect
Your First Acupuncture Session, Step by Step.
Your first acupuncture visit starts with a conversation about what you are feeling and where, so Dr. Hoffman can choose the right points for your specific pattern of tension or pain. Thin, sterile needles are then placed and typically left in place for a set period while you rest.
Most sessions are quiet and low-key. Many patients describe the time with the needles in place as genuinely relaxing, and some fall asleep during a session. In our practice, follow-up visits run 15 to 20 minutes, and a first visit for a new patient is $79. Dr. Arthur Hoffman handles every session personally.
Under One Roof
Acupuncture and Chiropractic, Planned Together.
Most Minnetonka practices offer one discipline or the other. At The Glen, Dr. Hoffman can move between chiropractic adjustments and acupuncture in the same visit when your exam supports it, so your plan is not split between two different offices and two different sets of notes.
That continuity matters most for chronic pain, tension headaches, and recovery from injury, where a combined approach often reaches further than either discipline used alone.

Answers Before You Ask.
Most chiropractors do not, since acupuncture requires separate training beyond a chiropractic degree. At The Glen, Dr. Hoffman is trained in both disciplines and personally performs acupuncture himself, one of only two practices in the immediate Minnetonka area offering both under one roof. Our full explainer on do chiropractors do acupuncture covers how the two disciplines work together here.
Acupuncture at The Glen is most commonly used for chronic tension, headaches, stress-related pain, and pain that adjustments alone have not fully resolved. Dr. Hoffman builds each acupuncture plan around what your exam shows, not a generic protocol.
Acupuncture needles are hair-thin, and most patients feel little more than a light pinch or a dull, heavy sensation as the needle is placed. Sessions are typically calm and many patients find them relaxing rather than uncomfortable.
Yes. Because Dr. Hoffman provides both chiropractic adjustments and acupuncture personally, your plan can combine the two in the same visit when your exam supports it. Nothing gets lost between two different providers because there is only one doctor planning your care.
Acupuncture is commonly used during pregnancy for comfort, and Dr. Hoffman tailors prenatal acupuncture to your stage of pregnancy. Our prenatal chiropractor page covers pregnancy-safe care in more detail alongside prenatal adjustments.
