What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a natural, holistic therapy rooted in traditional Chinese medicine that involves the insertion of very thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate healing and balance. While its origins are ancient, modern research suggests acupuncture may work by activating the nervous system, releasing natural pain-relieving chemicals, improving circulation, and supporting the body’s innate healing processes. This makes it a powerful complementary approach when combined with chiropractic care and physical therapy.
At Hudson Family Chiropractic in Hoboken, NJ, acupuncture is part of our integrated wellness services designed to help patients reduce pain, decrease tension, improve mobility, and support overall well-being. Whether you’re seeking relief from chronic pain, stress, or muscle tension, or you’re simply looking to optimize your health, acupuncture can play a valuable role in your treatment plan.
How Acupuncture Works
Acupuncture practitioners identify key points on the body — known as acupoints — that correspond to pathways of energy flow or physiological responses. By gently stimulating these points with thin needles, acupuncture may:
- Trigger the release of endorphins and other natural pain-relieving chemicals
- Promote improved blood flow and circulation to targeted areas
- Reduce inflammation and muscle tension
- Support relaxation and a balanced nervous system
This combination of neurological and circulatory effects may help the body recover more effectively from pain and stress.

What Patients are Saying…
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 absolutely LOVE Dr. Suzie! She has helped me so much with PT. She is always so nice and down to earth! I fully recommend seeing her if you are dealing with any sort of pelvic discomfort / pain after birth.

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!

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.

I just finished physical therapy [pain in right knee] at Hudson Family Chiropractic and Physical Therapy and could not have asked for a better experience.
The center has worked wonders on me! When Nicole C. [PT] listened to my goals and history to determine the best workouts, she asked the right questions. She then analyzed the information to create the best plan, tailored for me. No cookie cutter approaches here.
Nicole is the best PT I could asked for. She gives you good exercises to work on and monitors you while you are doing exercises. As you progress, she adds on more to challenge you. Nicole gives you focused individual attention, using different techniques to treat your condition. Working with her has been an always pleasant personal experience.
The center is flexible with scheduling, always on time and had a very social, friendly atmosphere.

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
