Torticollis Treatment with Physical Therapy
Torticollis Treatment in Hoboken, NJ

Treating torticollis with physical therapy
Torticollis is a condition defined by an abnormal, asymmetrical head or neck position. Many conditions may lead to the development of torticollis including: muscular fibrosis, congenital spine abnormalities, decreased blood supply to the muscle, difficulty during delivery, and positioning of the baby inside the uterus during the last few weeks of pregnancy.
It is highly important to have torticollis treated to prevent a permanent shortening of the involved muscles. In addition, therapy can help avoid needed surgery and decreases head and neck pain.
Our approach
Marissa Servello, PT, DPT, ATC will perform an evaluation to assess the child’s passive range of motion, active range of motion, muscle tightness, muscle strength and gross motor skills. Other conditions will be checked for including hip dysplasia and spine problems. Physical therapy may include active and passive stretching of the neck and shoulder muscles. Positioning and handling techniques may also be utilized to correct the child’s posture.
Instructions may also be provide for the family to perform at home on a daily basis.

What Patients are Saying…
Hudson Family Chiropractic was my place for treatment when I lived in Hoboken for several years. Dr. Mike & Dr. John are both fantastic, easy going and great at what they do. Dr. Mike, who usually treated me, always listened and answered any questions that I had. He also treated me throughout my pregnancy, which was great. Everyone there is welcoming and friendly. I moved to the suburbs right before I had my son and I really miss these guys a lot. A wonderful family office. Highly recommend!!
Doc John sets the tone for a great experience at Hudson Family Chiropractic and truly adds the “family” feel to the office. As someone who has been a proponent of chiropractic for the past twenty years, I have had the good fortune of seeing Doc John and Dr. Mike for nearly a decade. I maintain a very active physical regimen with sports and excercise playing a part of my entire week. There is no doubt that John and Mike’s efforts allow me to go that much harder throughout the week. Their practice features wonderful, professional and friendly folks and I enjoy seeing them each time I can. I fully recommend Hudson Family Chiropractic to those that need relief from strains, sprains or tweaks. Kudos to their team and thank you!
Was a full thorough exam/chiropractic experience with Dr. Bill. Was a very comfortable and nice place. Going twice more this week for my back.
Exceptional customer service and Dr. Mike is amazing. I always feel welcome when I arrive and even feel better when I leave.
Every time I seem to hurt myself, the team at Hudson Family are always able to put me back together with the extra care that one dreams of but doesn’t always get in a medical office. For over 10+ years I have been going to the office and am grateful for them. Even when I moved out of state, I would make sure to come in for an adjustment when I was back in the area, or would plan a trip just to visit the office. I mean when a doctor is good, you do what you can to stick with them. I highly recommend this office – from the staff to the docs, everyone is exemplary.
I’ve been to Hudson Family on and off for the past 2 years. Bill is the best. He’s truly excellent, a consummate professional, empathetic, and so friendly. I appreciate that my appointments are always on-time – within :30, I’m walking out feeling so much better.
I was nervous about going to a chiropractor since I’d never gone to one, but I tweaked a muscle in my lower back and needed help. My personal trainer recommended Dr. John Rotundo at Hudson Family Chiropractic and I’m SO GLAD I went. He explained everything he was going to do and look for, answered all of my questions, and had me feeling better after my first visit. I only needed 3 visits over the course of 2 weeks and I’m feeling 100% better and can get back to the gym! I highly recommend paying Dr. Rotundo a visit if you’re looking for a good chiropractor in the area. Super friendly, easy to get to, and easy to get an appointment.
After injuring my back weight lifting, and suffering pain for over 2 weeks I knew I needed professional help. I was fortunate enough to find Dr. Bill Magill of Hudson Family Chiropractic who was excellent. The combination of heat therapy, stretching, and a few adjustments alleviated the pain completely in 3 sessions. I appreciated the fact that he took additional time and didn’t suggest or execute risky adjustments to my neck as others have tried to do in the past. I hope he continues to practice in Hoboken for a long time, and this review builds his clientele as we need to keep him in Hoboken
Saw Dr. Mike and definitely recommend! Have been training for a power lifting meet and came as I’m starting to lift heavier and my back and butt have felt sorer as the weeks go by.
First appointment, was seen on time, quick and painless appointment. The staff was helpful and his work up was great. At the end of my session Dr. Mike didn’t recommend for me to go back which is what I feel usually happens with most chiropractors or PT. Run up my insurance and take advantage of my benefits. I will most definitely be back for adjustments in the future for some maintenance and better health.
I feel like he released like 15 years of tension from my body. Thank you!
