Dr. Joel Fugleberg graduated from the University of Minnesota and received his Doctor of Chiropractic from Northwestern Health Sciences University. He has been serving patients in the Eden Prairie, Hennepin County, and Twin Cities area for 14 years. Dr. Joel was inspired to become a chiropractor after several positive experiences with them himself. His first trip to the chiropractor was for an ankle injury in which his ankle was misaligned. He couldn’t move or bend his ankle, let alone stand and bear weight. He chose the chiropractor over the ER and literally hopped into the chiropractor’s office. After his treatment, he was amazed to stand up and walk out of the office on his own two feet. He was impressed with the practical results of chiropractic and the focus on the root cause rather than just addressing symptoms. This has always resonated with him from a health standpoint. Later, after he had several bouts of back pain while competing in wrestling in college, he had another great experience with a chiropractor that helped him recover quickly. He then made the decision to continue schooling in chiropractic so that he could offer the same healthcare that he had been blessed to receive. Dr. Joel enjoys seeing his patients light up after regaining their function. He also enjoys helping restore their faith in their own ability to heal. He believes experience is the best teacher and has particular interest in plantar fasciitis, shoulder pain, back pain and headaches. Dr. Joel has taken additional training in extremity treatments such as shoulder, foot and ankle issues as well as certification work with spinal trauma.
