Plymouth-based medical benefits organization Fulcrum Health is launching a mobile clinic to deliver non-pharmacological treatments like acupuncture, massage and physical therapy to underserved communities in Anoka, Hennepin, and Ramsey counties with the goal of reducing the use of opioids.

The new service, slated to launch in October, is made possible with a $318,000 grant from the Minnesota Department of Human Services.

The Fulcrum Health mobile clinic aims to an access and raise awareness for treatment alternatives for chronic musculoskeletal pain. Fulcrum Health CEO Patricia Dennis said this work is crucial now more than ever because as of Jan. 1, 2026, the state of Minnesota is set to eliminate chiropractic benefits for Medicaid members over the age of 21, affecting over 1 million Minnesotans.

“Physical medicine treats the root cause of pain, not just the symptoms. While pain medication is sometimes necessary, it can also mask the pain,” Dennis said. “The clinic will use hands-on techniques, movement therapy and personalized care to help the body heal.”

Appointments can be booked online, where insurance and benefits can be viewed as well, Dennis said. If a patient needs long-term care, the clinic’s providers will establish care at a network provider in the area.

“The care doesn’t end when the mobile clinic rolls away,” Dennis said. “Patients will have a clear path to continue their treatment and to stay on track,” Dennis said.
