If your back has been giving you grief or your neck feels like it’s been locked in place for weeks, you’re not alone. A lot of New Brighton residents deal with the same thing sitting at desks all day, long commutes on 35W, or just the wear and tear that comes with Minnesota winters. Core chiropractic care addresses these problems at the source, not just the symptoms.
At The Glen Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we’ve worked with patients from New Brighton and across the Twin Cities who were tired of masking pain with medication. They wanted actual answers. That’s what spinal manipulation and core chiropractic adjustments are built to do.
People from New Brighton make the trip to our Minnetonka clinic for a few reasons:
Dr. Arthur Hoffman takes time to listen. You won’t get rushed through a 5-minute appointment.
We keep rates competitive. No surprises. No pressure to sign up for a 30-visit package before you’ve even been evaluated.
Early morning and evening hours mean you can actually fit appointments into a real schedule.
We treat the whole picture—not just where it hurts right now.
Spinal manipulation sits at the center of chiropractic care. When vertebrae shift out of alignment, they put pressure on nerves, restrict movement, and create pain that radiates into places you wouldn’t expect. A misalignment in your mid-back can show up as shoulder tension. A problem in your lower spine might be the reason your hip has been acting up.
Core chiropractic adjustments restore proper alignment. This takes pressure off nerves, improves range of motion, and lets your body function the way it’s supposed to.
Here’s what patients from New Brighton commonly come in for:
Low back pain that flares up after sitting or standing too long
Neck stiffness that won’t go away no matter how many times you stretch
Sciatica shooting down one leg
Headaches that start at the base of the skull
Tension between the shoulder blades
Post-injury recovery after car accidents or sports
Some people assume chiropractic care is only for when something goes wrong. But plenty of patients come in regularly just to stay ahead of problems—especially if they sit at a computer all day or have physically demanding jobs.
You’ll fill out some paperwork (we have forms online if you want to get that done beforehand). Then Dr. Hoffman will sit down with you, ask about your history, and actually listen to what’s going on.
From there, he’ll do a physical exam—checking your posture, range of motion, and where the tension is concentrated. If adjustments make sense for your situation, he’ll walk you through exactly what he’s doing and why.
Most people feel relief after the first session. Some conditions take a few visits to fully address, but you’ll never be pressured into more appointments than you need.
New Brighton sits about 20 minutes east of our Minnetonka clinic, depending on traffic. Head west on 694, then south on 169, and you’re pretty much there. If you’re coming from near Long Lake Regional Park or the Arden Hills border, it’s an easy route.
We also see patients from Roseville, Mounds View, Shoreview, and St. Anthony. If you work on the west side of the metro or pass through Minnetonka on your commute, stopping in before or after work is simple.
Our office is located at 11000 Cedar Lake Road—right off the main drag with easy parking.
New Brighton has grown a lot over the past decade. Young families moving in, new development near Silver Lake, more people working hybrid schedules from home. That shift means more time sitting, more screen hours, and more neck and back complaints showing up in people who never had them before.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not imagining it. Sedentary patterns change how your spine holds up over time. Getting ahead of those issues now saves you from bigger problems later.
Call us at 763-670-1175 or fill out the appointment request form on our website. New patients can take advantage of our $79 initial visit special, which includes a consultation and exam.
You don’t have to keep living with that nagging pain. Let’s figure out what’s going on and fix it.
How long does a chiropractic adjustment take? Most adjustment sessions run 15 to 20 minutes once you’re an established patient. Your first visit takes a bit longer since we do a full evaluation.
Is chiropractic care safe? Yes. Spinal manipulation is a low-risk treatment when performed by a licensed chiropractor. Dr. Hoffman has years of experience and tailors every adjustment to the individual patient.
Do I need a referral from my doctor? No referral is needed. You can book directly with us.
How often should I get adjusted? That depends on your condition. Some people come in once a week during an acute phase, then shift to monthly maintenance. Others only visit when something flares up. We’ll recommend a plan based on what your body actually needs.
Will my insurance cover chiropractic care? Many insurance plans include chiropractic benefits. We recommend calling your provider to confirm coverage, and our staff can help answer billing questions.
