Prenatal
Many women experience neck and back problems as well as sciatica during their pregnancy. Many women ask “Can I visit a chiropractor while I’m pregnant?” The answer is yes. Chiropractic care can help tremendously in these situations. Pregnant women are treated with special, gentle care that will not cause harm to your baby. Our office has a special table that allows the abdominal piece to drop down. This allows a pregnant woman to comfortably lie face down while these procedures are performed.
During pregnancy, the body goes through amazing changes. With the spine, pelvis and other parts of the body moving around during every stage of a pregnancy, musculoskeletal dysfunction can occur, resulting in disorders that can affect your joints and musculature, causing significant pain and discomfort.
With the body changing drastically, the spinal column itself moves to accommodate a child and the extra weight. The pelvis undergoes many changes to compensate for the growing baby as well. Risk of muscular joint dysfunction and interference of the nervous system can increase as pregnancy continues. The pelvis supports the growing uterus with specific ligaments. If the bones of the pelvis become restricted, this will cause asymmetrical ligament support of the uterus. This results in a more difficult passage for the baby during delivery.
These structural changes can affect the nerves and the spinal cord, disrupting the normal communication of information between the brain and the body. Our chiropractors can adjust a spine and extremities to help the body feel relaxed and subside pain or soreness.
Benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy:
- Help reduce or eliminate restless leg
- Decrease lower back pain
- Reduce or eliminate headaches
- Reduce nerve pain
- Decrease joint pain
Postnatal
Childbirth and pregnancy take an enormous toll on a woman’s body. Many women are being treated for repetitive stress injuries that occur as a result of being a new parent. Repetitive stress injuries (RSIs) are disorders that are caused by performing everyday tasks with poor posture, such as carrying a baby in an infant car seat, breastfeeding, bending over to put your baby in the crib, etc. Never mind the stress of having to take care of your baby on small amounts of interrupted sleep.
These injuries can cause pain in your neck, shoulders, wrists, elbows, upper back, and lower back. Our chiropractors and physical therapist are trained to relieve your pain, and educate you on how to perform certain activities with correct posture to prevent RSIs.
Also, many women will need to learn how to manage low back pain and weakness that occurs as a result of being pregnant, giving birth vaginally, or undergoing a c-section. The good news is, physical therapists are experts in managing and rehabilitating this type of condition!
So, if you’re looking for pain relief and rehabilitation of any spinal or extremity condition, we are here for you. Also remember to check out our postnatal pilates rehabilitation page: Pre/Postnatal Pilates

What Patients are Saying…
Exceptional customer service and Dr. Mike is amazing. I always feel welcome when I arrive and even feel better when I leave.
Exceptional service at the front desk at this clinic. Doctor Mike was excellent and really diagnosed the cause of pain on my back which was killing me for eight days. Literally left the office feeling so much better on the very first visit. The friendliness and professionalism was luxury. I can not wait to see the doctor again and continue to see and feel the results of my healing. Highly recommended. Amazing and relaxed atmosphere too.
The staff is super friendly and welcoming. Dr. Michael is excellent and each time I leave feeling much better. Anybody walking in is definitely receiving the highest level of care!
I came to Hudson Family after having a car accident in May 2023. I was going to see a chiro in a small NJ town for a month n moved to Jersey City for work. Mike is amazing. The first session I had I felt like completely renewed. After 2 months I pretty don’t even need chiro just touch up sessions because Mike is soo good. This is a real review they are the best. Convenient locations 5 star service and they have a gift with their hands!
I’ve been coming to Hudson Family Chiropractic for almost 3 years now. I’ve suffered from neck and bulged disc pain for years before coming here. I also used to suffer from headaches every day; however, Dr. John and Dr. Mike are miracle workers. I now barely get headaches anymore and my neck pain has eased drastically. I now have a quality of life without the pain and suffering I had before coming to Hudson Family Chiropractic. Thank you so much!
John is wonderful! I have been going to chiropractors since I was young do to a back injury. John is the first chiropractor to address my problem areas with complete confidence and professionalism. Every time I leave this office I think why did I wait so long! Definitely getting on a regular monthly appointment!
I am a longtime patient of John and Mike and found their services to be professional, proficient, and effective. I can always count on getting an appointment in a reasonable time and getting in and out is fast. But recently, I needed the attention of a Physical Therapist, and that’s when they referred me to their therapist, Nicole.
My first meeting with Nicole was extremely pleasant and I was quickly impressed with her knowledge in her profession. She made me feel comfortable and she explained what was causing my pain and what her course of action would be. Within a few days, the pain had almost disappeared and I started for feel great. She continued to work with me and again, the appointments were around my schedule and we got to work and I was out the door never feeling rushed.
I want to personally thank the staff at Hudson Family Chiropractic, John and Mike for the work that they do and also Nicole for her skills in getting me back on my NEW bicycle.
Great job Guys.
The best PT and Chiro I have ever been to. I couldn’t recommend it more. They have great service and very knowledgeable staff
I recently moved and needed to establish with a new chiropractor. John and Mike are happy to accept new patients. They listen to you and treat you based on your needs. How refreshing to find a dynamic duo who personalize your care!
