Prenatal Chiropractor in Minnetonka, MN: Pregnancy-Safe Adjustments
Gentle, pregnancy-appropriate chiropractic care from Dr. Arthur Hoffman, adapted trimester by trimester, with prenatal acupuncture available in the same plan.
A prenatal chiropractor in Minnetonka, MN provides pregnancy-safe spinal adjustments adapted for a changing body. At The Glen Chiropractic & Acupuncture, 11000 Cedar Lake Road, Dr. Arthur Hoffman personally treats expectant mothers with positioning and pressure appropriate to each trimester.
Pregnancy changes posture, balance, and pressure on the lower back and pelvis, often week by week. Dr. Hoffman adjusts his approach visit to visit rather than applying the same technique used before pregnancy began.
Because Dr. Hoffman also personally performs acupuncture, prenatal acupuncture can be added to your plan for comfort through pregnancy, coordinated by the same doctor who is adjusting you.
How Care Changes
How does prenatal chiropractic care change each trimester?
Prenatal chiropractic care at The Glen is adapted at every trimester, because pregnancy shifts posture, balance, and pelvic load month by month. First, a new patient visit covers a consultation, an exam, and an adjustment for $79. Next, positioning changes as balance changes, which is when many expectant mothers ask about back pain relief in Minnetonka and posture improvement.
Finally, third-trimester visits use side-lying positioning on pregnancy-safe tables. In our practice, Dr. Arthur Hoffman continues the same plan into postpartum recovery. Pregnancy care and recovery care stay with one doctor at The Glen, rated 4.9 stars across 222 reviews.
Pregnancy-Safe Technique
Adjustments Built Around a Growing Belly.
As pregnancy progresses, Dr. Hoffman shifts to side-lying positioning and pregnancy-safe tables, which keep pressure off the abdomen. Prenatal acupuncture can be added in the same visit for pregnancy-related tension.
What to Expect
Your First Prenatal Visit, Explained.
Your first prenatal visit starts with a conversation about your pregnancy, your due date, and what discomfort you are feeling, followed by an exam that accounts for where you are in your pregnancy. From there, Dr. Hoffman builds a plan that can change as your pregnancy progresses.
After delivery, many patients continue with postpartum care as their body recovers, and some bring their baby back for pediatric visits at the same practice, so care continues with the same doctor on both sides of delivery.

For example, a patient may start prenatal care in the second trimester, add acupuncture in the same visit, then continue with postpartum and pelvic pain relief in Minnetonka after delivery. Second, the first visit runs $79 and includes a consultation, an exam, and an adjustment. Follow-up visits run 15 to 20 minutes, which keeps care realistic for parents from Hopkins, Edina, and St. Louis Park.

Is chiropractic care available after delivery?
Postpartum chiropractic care is available at The Glen for mothers whose recovery brings new lower-back, pelvic, or posture complaints. Delivery changes pelvic mechanics, and the recovery plan is rebuilt from a new exam rather than carried over unchanged from the third trimester.
First, postpartum visits address recovery-related back pain and pelvic pain, with posture improvement work for the hours spent feeding and carrying a newborn. Additionally, infants can be seen by Dr. Arthur Hoffman at the same Minnetonka office, including craniosacral therapy for newborns. A first visit at The Glen is $79. Care for both generations stays under one roof at 11000 Cedar Lake Road.
