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.

Cupping Therapy
Cupping Therapy: An Enhanced Healing Technique in Hoboken
At Hudson Family Chiropractic, Physical Therapy & Acupuncture in Hoboken, NJ, cupping therapy is offered as a powerful complement to our acupuncture services helping patients experience deeper muscle relief, improved circulation, and faster recovery as part of an integrated wellness approach.
Cupping therapy is often incorporated into acupuncture treatments to enhance your healing journey. It’s an amazing technique that provides a range of benefits:
- Pain relief 🌟
- Reduced muscle tightness 💪
- Improved circulation 🩸
- Detoxification support 💧
- Reduced inflammation 🔥
When combined with acupuncture, cupping helps accelerate your recovery, promotes relaxation, and supports overall wellness. If you’re dealing with stubborn muscle pain or stress, it could be just what you need to feel better!
What Is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping therapy is a traditional technique in which specialized cups are placed on the skin to create gentle suction. This suction lifts the soft tissues, helping to release muscle tension, increase blood flow, and stimulate the body’s natural healing response. Unlike massage, which compresses muscles, cupping works by lifting and separating tissue layers, which can be especially effective for deep, stubborn tightness.
At our Hoboken clinic, cupping is typically applied to areas such as the neck, shoulders, upper back, and hips, especially when muscle tension is contributing to pain, headaches, or restricted movement. Patients receiving care for neck pain, headaches and migraines, or sports-related muscle injuries often benefit from combining acupuncture with cupping therapy.
How Cupping Works with Acupuncture
Cupping is most effective when used alongside acupuncture and rehabilitative therapies. Acupuncture helps regulate the nervous system and reduce pain signaling, while cupping focuses on improving local circulation and muscle mobility. Together, they provide a more comprehensive approach to:
- Relieving chronic muscle tension
- Improving flexibility and movement
- Supporting injury recovery
- Reducing stress-related tightness
Cupping is frequently included in care plans for patients also receiving chiropractic care or physical therapy as part of a coordinated recovery strategy. Our licensed acupuncturist will determine whether cupping is appropriate based on your symptoms, treatment goals, and overall health.
Conditions That May Benefit from Cupping Therapy
Cupping may be considered for patients experiencing:
- Neck and shoulder tension
- Upper and lower back muscle pain
- Postural strain and Tech Neck
- Stress-related muscle tightness
- Sports and fitness-related muscle soreness
- Chronic soft-tissue discomfort
By improving tissue mobility and circulation, cupping supports the body’s ability to heal more efficiently when combined with other therapeutic approaches.

What Patients are Saying…
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!

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!

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!!

I couldn’t be more grateful for John’s expertise today. I had knocked my talus bone out of place while rehearsing dance for a Broadway show which was causing ankle sprain symptoms and a lot of pain (couldn’t bare weight let alone dance). He generously spent time listening and assessing me to make a measured adjustment and gave me relief that I wasn’t quite able to access via two PT sessions at another location. I will absolutely be returning and I am very thankful this office exists! Thank you, John!!

My favorite chiropractors ever! Educated me and also listened to me. I am a furniture maker and they helped me get back to work a few different times and also helped me maintain a healthy back when I wasn’t injured.

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!

I was having really bad neck/back pain and called Hudson Family Chiropractic to make an appointment. They fit me in quickly and my appointment was beyond thorough. Dr. Bill took his time evaluating my pain, asking questions, and providing suggestions for my treatment. I very much enjoy coming here and am thankful for Dr. Bill and Dr. Mike’s professionalism 🙂

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.

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.
