Living in Saint Paul means dealing with Minnesota winters, long commutes across the river, and maybe sitting at a desk all day in one of the downtown office towers. That adds up. Your back starts talking to you. Your neck locks up after shoveling snow for the third time this week. Sound familiar?
The Glen Chiropractic & Acupuncture serves Saint Paul residents who need real relief without jumping through hoops. Dr. Arthur Hoffman works with people from all over the Twin Cities metro, and Saint Paul patients make up a big part of that. Whether you’re coming from Cathedral Hill, Highland Park, or the East Side, getting to our Minnetonka clinic on Cedar Lake Road takes about 20 minutes—depending on 394 traffic, of course.
People don’t drive across the metro for average care. Here’s what brings Saint Paul patients through our doors:
Same-week appointments. No waiting three weeks when you’re hurting now.
Competitive rates. We keep costs reasonable because healthcare shouldn’t break the bank.
Early and late hours. Morning shifts at 3M or evening classes at Hamline? We’ve got times that work.
A chiropractor who actually listens. Dr. Hoffman takes time to understand what’s going on before adjusting anything.
Spinal manipulation sits at the center of chiropractic care—that’s the “core” part. But here’s what that means in plain terms.
Your spine houses your nervous system. When vertebrae shift out of alignment, they create pressure. That pressure causes pain, restricted movement, and sometimes symptoms you wouldn’t connect to your back at all. Headaches. Fatigue. Poor sleep.
Dr. Hoffman uses hands-on adjustments to restore proper alignment. The goal isn’t just cracking your back and sending you home. It’s figuring out why you’re misaligned in the first place and addressing that pattern.
For Saint Paul patients specifically, we see a lot of:
Desk-related tension from downtown office jobs Sports injuries from hockey, running, or CrossFit Wear and tear from physical labor Chronic issues that flare up every Minnesota winter
Each person gets a different approach. A construction worker from Frogtown needs something different than a software developer from Lowertown.
You’ll fill out paperwork—standard stuff about your health history and what’s bothering you. Then Dr. Hoffman does an exam. He’ll check your posture, range of motion, and feel along your spine for problem areas.
If adjustments make sense for your situation, you’ll likely get your first one that day. Most people feel some relief immediately. Some feel sore for a day or two as their body adjusts. Both responses are normal.
We’ll talk about a treatment plan. Maybe you need a few visits over a couple weeks. Maybe ongoing maintenance makes sense. It depends entirely on what’s happening with your body.
Our clinic sits at 11000 Cedar Lake Road in Minnetonka. From downtown Saint Paul, you’ll head west on I-94, merge onto 394, and exit at Hopkins Crossroad. The drive runs about 18-25 minutes without heavy traffic.
If you’re coming from areas like Como Park, Mac-Groveland, or West Seventh, you’re looking at a similar commute. Patients from Woodbury or Maplewood might take 35E north to 94 west—adds a few minutes but still manageable.
Parking is free and easy. No ramps, no meters, no circling the block.
You could find a chiropractor closer to home. Saint Paul has plenty. So why do people make the trip?
Dr. Hoffman has built a reputation over years of practice. He’s not rushing through patients to hit a quota. He’s not pushing unnecessary visits. And he’s certified in acupuncture too, which means you can address multiple issues in one place if needed.
Plus, our new patient special costs just $79. That includes your exam and first adjustment. Low risk to find out if this approach works for you.

Do I need a referral from my doctor to see a chiropractor? No referral needed. You can schedule directly with us. If your insurance requires one, we’ll help you figure that out during your first call.
How many visits will I need? Depends on your condition. Some people feel great after 2-3 visits. Others with chronic issues benefit from regular care over months. Dr. Hoffman won’t push unnecessary appointments.
Is chiropractic care safe? Yes. Spinal adjustments have an excellent safety record when performed by licensed chiropractors. Dr. Hoffman has years of experience and adjusts his technique based on each patient’s needs.
Will my insurance cover this? Many plans cover chiropractic care. We accept most major insurance. Call us with your plan details and we’ll verify your coverage before you come in.
Can I combine chiropractic with acupuncture? Absolutely. Dr. Hoffman is trained in both. Some patients find that combining treatments speeds up their results, especially for stubborn pain or injuries.
