Spinal Decompression in Hoboken, NJ: Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, non-invasive, specialized technique designed to alleviate pressure on the spinal discs and nerves, making it an ideal treatment for debilitating low back, neck, radiating leg & arm pain,. Whether you’re suffering from herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, or even spinal stenosis, our team can employ spinal decompression to help address your specific needs effectively. Decompression Therapy effectively relieves pain by reducing the pressure on spinal discs and facet joints through unloading created by distraction and positioning. Decompression Therapy effectively enhances the healing process and often renders quick, effective and amazing pain relief that enables most patients to return to a more active lifestyle
The procedure involves the use of a traction table that gently stretches and releases the spine. You are fully clothed during spinal decompression therapy. The doctor fits you with a harness and you either lie face down or face up on a computer-controlled table. A doctor operates the computer, customizing treatment to your specific needs. This controlled stretching acts as a remarkable method for repositioning the spine and creating negative pressure within the affected areas. By creating this negative pressure, spinal decompression encourages the retraction of herniated or bulging discs, effectively relieving pressure on the nerves and facilitating the natural healing process.
One of the primary benefits of spinal decompression is pain relief. As the pressure on the affected discs diminishes, nerve irritation subsides, leading to a reduction in pain levels. This enhanced comfort enables individuals to experience increased mobility and perform daily activities with ease. Furthermore, spinal decompression stimulates the circulation of oxygen, water, and nutrient-rich fluids to the spinal discs, assisting with their repair and restoration.
Apart from pain relief, spinal decompression also aids in the restoration of proper spinal alignment. By gently stretching and elongating the spine, this technique can realign the vertebral discs, promoting improved posture and spinal stability. Proper alignment not only prevents further damage to the spine but also prevents nerve impingement, which may cause pain, tingling, or weakness in different parts of the body.
The benefits of spinal decompression extend beyond physical relief. Many patients report an improvement in their overall mental well-being, as the reduction in pain and improved mobility instills a sense of joy and optimism. By restoring the spine’s health and function, spinal decompression empowers individuals to pursue an active lifestyle and engage in their daily activities without pain or limitations.
Decompression Therapy is a highly successful treatment for patients suffering from bulging, herniated, degenerative, or ruptured discs as well as sciatica, and failed back surgery cases. This treatment can help patients avoid the risk of anesthesia, surgical complications, and the potential of failed back surgery. Decompression Therapy begins with a series of sessions typically 3-4 times per week. Each session is approximately 8-12 minutes. After treatment, your doctor may prescribe specific exercises designed to help you regain proper control and strength of the stabilization muscles, which can help create long term benefits.
Depending on your condition, you may need 12 to 20 sessions. It is our goal to make sure you become pain-free, and your safety during treatment is important to us.
Ask your doctor whether or not you are a good candidate for non-surgical spinal decompression. People with any of these conditions should not have non-surgical spinal decompression:
Fracture
Tumor
Abdominal aortic aneurysm
Advanced osteoporosis
Metal implants in the spine
Pregnancy

John saved me from horrible, daily headaches that I was suffering from for 3+ months. I am pretty tolerant to pain but they were bad enough for me to take multiple painkillers with not much effect. I had signed up for pain management doc and the appointment was months away and I figured I’d come back to John who I saw a couple of times before for another issue with my shoulder. After literally 2 visits, I was managing without painkillers and with maintenance sessions, headaches are practically gone. He *always* has a warm smile and encouraging words, I am so grateful to have found someone whose expertise I trust and who I genuinely enjoy seeing. I’ve sent my mom and my brother to him! And if he can’t do much for your issue – he will tell you straight up. Outstanding!

Dr. Mike is gentle in adjusting my neck from the accumulated stress. When I moved to Hoboken from Northern California, I looked for a chiropractor by visiting 5 or more and found Hudson Family Chiropractor that provided style of hands on manual adjustment with experience. I highly recommend them.

It was my first visit and the entire experience was seamless. The staff was very communicative with me prior to my appointment, online registration made things a lot easier, and Bill was excellent. He took the information I provided and was able to help me get started with pain relief. Super happy I found them!

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!

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.

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.

Great chiropractic care. They have helped me heal from sports and “everyday life” injuries for many years.

I have been going to Mike and John for the past 3+ years and they are hands down the best chiropractors that I have ever been to. It started out with a neck injury and I had a 1/2 marathon race the week after. After a few visits, they were able to help me and I ended up PRing that race. I continue to go to them for tune ups and also when I’m preparing for a race. Also, they are both very personable and easy to talk to!

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!
