Acupuncture Treatment in Blaine, MN

At Club West Chiropractic, acupuncture is offered as part of your chiropractic care. In Minnesota, chiropractors are only permitted to practice acupuncture as an adjunct to chiropractic adjustment, meaning it’s always provided alongside your chiropractic treatment, never in place of it. This isn’t just how we choose to practice, it’s state law. Doctors of Chiropractic who are registered to perform acupuncture in Minnesota must use it to prepare the body for an adjustment or to complement one, working together as a single, coordinated treatment.

For our patients, that pairing is a good thing. Acupuncture and chiropractic adjustments address the body from two different angles, and combining them often produces faster, longer-lasting relief than either approach alone.

A chiropractic adjustment restores proper motion and alignment to the joints of the spine and extremities, taking pressure off nerves and allowing the nervous system to function the way it’s designed to. Acupuncture works on a different layer of the same problem, it targets the surrounding soft tissue, muscles, and nervous system response through the insertion of fine needles at specific points on the body.

Used together, acupuncture can help relax tight, guarded muscles and calm an overactive nervous system before an adjustment, making the adjustment more effective and comfortable. After an adjustment, it can help the body settle into its new alignment, reduce inflammation, and manage residual pain while the deeper structural work of chiropractic care takes hold. Neither service is meant to replace the other, they’re designed to work in tandem.

Patients who combine acupuncture with their chiropractic adjustments often notice:

• Faster pain relief and reduced muscle guarding around the treatment area
• Improved results from each chiropractic adjustment
• Better relaxation and stress reduction alongside physical treatment
• Support for conditions that involve both structural and soft-tissue components, like headaches, sciatica, and musculoskeletal pain
• A more well-rounded, whole-body approach to healing, addressing the nervous system, the muscles, and the joints all in one visit

Because acupuncture is provided as part of your chiropractic visit, it’s easy to add to your treatment plan. Acupuncture is $50 when paired with a chiropractic adjustment. Ask your provider if it’s a good fit for what you’re being treated for.

Many of our patients build a treatment plan that includes chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, and massage therapy, three services that reinforce one another. While acupuncture works on the nervous system and deep muscle response, massage therapy helps lengthen tight muscles, improve circulation, and smooth out trigger points from the outside in. Combining all three gives your body the best chance to heal fully and stay aligned between visits.
