CHIROPRACTOR Eagan MN

I have been a longtime resident in the Eagan, Burnsville and Apple Valley areas which is one of the reasons I decided to practice in Eagan. I grew up in Burnsville and Eagan area in the 1970s, eventually moving to Northfield, MN.  My father was also a Chiropractor who practiced in Burnsville and Eagan starting in 1978. I am a 2nd generation Chiropractor taking over the practice in Eagan in 1987, now having over 30 years of experience. My wife Cathy and I raised our 3 children in Eagan/Apple Valley School district and we continue to live in Eagan with our 2 pugs.

At Helping Hands Chiropractic, we provide pain relief for common conditions such as; Headaches, including migraines and those associated with whiplash, concussion and posture/neck related tension headaches. We also provide relief for neck pain, upper and lower back pain. We often see patients with sciatic pain which is pain that extends into the hip, buttocks and often into the leg. We also see patients with foot pain including plantar fasciitis as well as knee pains. Shoulder, elbow and arm/ hand pains are also commonly seen. Stress-related conditions also respond well as chiropractic treatment reduces stress on the nervous system. These often show up as sleep problems and often digestive system issues.

• Misconception #1: It’s expensive- Although this is a relative term, we are In-Network providers for the major insurance carriers which gives you a significant discount in out of pocket costs. And if your copayment and/or deductible amounts are still too high, we have cash plans available for you.
• Misconception #2: You have to keep coming forever – We do not have a standard “cookbook” approach that keeps you coming 3 times a week month after month. Every patient’s needs are different. Age, type of work, posture, injury, and many other factors determine how much care is needed. Some may need just a few treatments others take longer. And while we do recommend regular check-ups (sometimes called Wellness care) that is something that you are in charge of. We never recommend more care than you need and always respect the amount of care you want.
• Misconception #3: We can do it all – While Chiropractic care is foundational to pain-free good health, we often work together with other providers to relieve your pain and get you functioning and healthy.
• Misconception #4: Chiropractic is not safe effective or proven - Multiple studies, including those by the Federal Government, have found that chiropractic care is safe and effective and should be the first line of treatment when experiencing acute back pain. Combining with exercise/movement/PT proves even more effective.
• Misconception #5: It hurts – People often think if it hurts for me to move it why wouldn’t it hurt more if someone else moves it more? Most of the time patients tell me it is like someone lifted a log off their back. The pain and pressure are relieved immediately and they feel lighter, taller, move more freely and can stand up straighter. Sometimes there is some muscle soreness following the first adjustment or two but that goes away within a day or two. And while some adjusting techniques are more dynamic, we have other adjusting techniques that are very gentle and with our years of experience, we can tailor the adjustment to your situation. We also have available muscle relaxing therapies such as massage, stretching/traction and other therapy to help make an adjustment easier and reduce post-adjustment soreness.  No one size fits all here.
