Shoreview residents don’t have time for back pain that lingers. You’ve got trails to walk around Lake Owasso, kids to shuttle between hockey practices, and a commute down I-35W that doesn’t care about your stiff neck. When your spine isn’t moving right, everything else feels harder.
Dr. Arthur Hoffman at The Glen Chiropractic & Acupuncture serves Shoreview and the surrounding Ramsey County area with hands-on chiropractic adjustments that get to the root of the problem. No guesswork. No endless treatment plans that drag on for months. Just targeted spinal manipulation that helps your body function the way it’s supposed to.
We fix problems, not just symptoms. A lot of clinics chase pain around. We look at how your spine moves, where it’s stuck, and what’s putting pressure on your nerves.
Adjustments take minutes, not hours. Most visits run 15-20 minutes. You can swing by during lunch or after dropping the kids at Turtle Lake Elementary.
Rates stay reasonable. We keep costs competitive because healthcare shouldn’t drain your savings account.
Hours that work for busy schedules. Early mornings. Late afternoons. Saturday appointments available when you need them.
Spinal manipulation isn’t some mysterious wellness trend. It’s mechanical. Your spine has 24 vertebrae that need to move freely. When one or more get stuck or misaligned, the joints stiffen up and the nerves running through your spine get irritated.
That irritation shows up as pain. Sometimes in your back. Sometimes shooting down your leg. Sometimes as headaches that won’t quit no matter how much ibuprofen you take.
A chiropractic adjustment applies a quick, controlled force to a specific joint. You might hear a pop—that’s just gas releasing from the joint capsule. Within seconds, the joint moves better. Pressure comes off the nerve. Your body starts to calm down.
Here’s the bottom line: when your spine moves correctly, your nervous system works better. And your nervous system controls pretty much everything.
You’ll sit down with Dr. Hoffman and talk about what’s bothering you. Not a rushed five-minute intake. An actual conversation about your pain, your daily activities, and what you’ve already tried.
Then comes a physical exam. Range of motion tests. Posture assessment. Palpation of your spine to find where things aren’t moving right. If X-rays make sense for your situation, we’ll discuss that.
After the exam, you’ll know exactly what’s going on. No vague explanations. No pressure to commit to 30 visits upfront. Just a clear picture of the problem and a realistic plan to fix it.
Most people feel some relief after the first adjustment. Others need a few sessions before things really shift. Everyone’s different, and we’ll tell you what to expect based on what we find.
Living in Shoreview means you’re probably outside more than most. Rice Creek runs right through town. The city maintains miles of paved trails. Snail Lake Regional Park sits just minutes away. All that activity is great for your health—until something starts to hurt.
Runners develop hip and lower back problems from repetitive impact. Cyclists end up with tight hip flexors and rounded upper backs. Golfers at places like Island View twist their spines hundreds of times per round. Even gardening—all that bending and kneeling—puts stress on your lumbar spine.
Chiropractic care helps Shoreview residents stay active instead of sidelined. Regular adjustments keep joints mobile, prevent small problems from becoming big ones, and help your body recover faster after physical activity.

Stop working around the pain. Let’s fix it.
How long does a typical chiropractic adjustment take? Most appointments run 15-20 minutes once we’ve completed your initial evaluation. The adjustment itself takes just a few minutes.
Do I need a referral from my doctor to see a chiropractor in Minnesota? No referral required. You can book directly with The Glen. We’ll coordinate with your primary care physician if needed.
Is chiropractic care covered by insurance? Most major insurance plans cover chiropractic visits. We’ll verify your benefits before your first appointment so there aren’t any surprises.
How often will I need to come in for adjustments? It depends on your condition. Some people feel great after a few visits. Others benefit from periodic maintenance care. Dr. Hoffman will give you an honest recommendation based on your exam findings.
Can chiropractic help with headaches? Yes. Many headaches originate from tension in the neck and upper back. Adjustments to the cervical spine often reduce headache frequency and intensity.
