Hudson Family Chiropractic is a long standing practice with roots in Hoboken, and real concern for their patients. I always feel great after an adjustment, and look forward to the next.
Dr. John Rotundo is the founder of the practice and now Director of Physician Services. He, Dr. Michael Gazaleh, and Dr. William Magill have successfully treated thousands of Hoboken/Jersey City residents since establishing Hudson Family Chiropractic in 2000. They incorporate exercise, stretching, trigger point massage, physiotherapy, and gentle chiropractic manipulation into the overall treatment protocol. John, Mike, & Bill are all Hudson County residents.
The chiropractors do not use “cookie cutter” treatment plans. Each patient is treated according to his or her condition. Some patients require more extensive therapy while other patients require only a few visits. You will only receive the treatment needed and once your pain has dissipated, you will be released from care and advised to return only when needed.
Our physical therapist Christine Mullane has extensive experience in treating a wide variety of patients with orthopedic, and neurological conditions. Our therapist will use techniques that are designed to address a specific functional need of each patient. These dynamic activities must be part of an active treatment plan and be directed at a specific outcome. Please see our Physical Therapy page for more details about therapy and rehabilitation techniques and specific conditions that can be treated.
Dr. John Rotundo, DC
At the age of 17, after many positive experiences with chiropractic, Dr. Rotundo knew his career path. He graduated from the University of Bridgeport, Magna Cum Laude, as a Dana Scholar. He then attended New York Chiropractic College and graduated with a Doctorate of Chiropractic in 1994.
He began practicing immediately after graduation. Prior to opening HFC in 2000, Dr. Rotundo had five years experience in a multidisciplinary office where he worked in unison with medical doctors on a daily basis (orthopedists, neurologists, physiatrists, internists, osteopaths, and general practitioners).

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!

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.

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 🙂

Had a wonderful experience with Dr Bill! It was my first time in a long time going to the chiropractor and he made me feel so comfortable. Not to mention, I feel so much better after the session. I can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend.

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.

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!!
