Tech Neck — sometimes called text neck — refers to neck and upper back pain caused by prolonged forward head posture, typically from looking down at smartphones, tablets, computers, or other screens. This posture places excess stress on your cervical spine and supporting muscles, which can lead to discomfort, stiffness, and loss of mobility over time.
At Hudson Family Chiropractic, Physical Therapy & Acupuncture in Hoboken, NJ, we help patients from Hudson County and beyond find effective relief from Tech Neck using a combination of chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, posture-focused care, and other evidence-based therapies.
What Causes Tech Neck?
Tech Neck arises largely from repetitive poor posture, especially when the head is tilted forward to view screens. This sustained position increases the load on your neck and upper back muscles, leading to:
Every inch your head moves forward increases the effort your neck muscles must exert, sometimes dramatically, ultimately causing chronic pain if left untreated.
How We Treat Tech Neck at Our Hoboken Clinic
At Hudson Family Chiropractic, we take a holistic, personalized approach to Tech Neck relief. Our team of experienced chiropractors and therapists with over 20 years of experience, assess your posture, spinal alignment, and movement patterns to design a plan that fits your needs.
🎯 Chiropractic Adjustments
Precise adjustments help restore proper cervical spine alignment, reduce nerve stress, and improve joint mobility to relieve neck and upper back pain.
💪 Physical Therapy & Postural Training
Targeted rehabilitation exercises strengthen supporting muscles and retrain posture to support long-term neck health and reduce strain from digital device use.
🧘 Acupuncture (Optional Add-On)
Acupuncture may be used to support pain modulation, reduce muscle tension, and promote overall comfort during treatment.
🌀 Spinal Decompression & Supportive Care
While classically used for disc-related back and nerve issues, spinal decompression techniques may be integrated when disc pressure contributes to neck discomfort or altered posture, providing gentle relief by reducing compression on spinal structures.
🧠 Education & Ergonomic Coaching
We teach ergonomic strategies such as raising screens to eye level, taking frequent breaks, and proper workstation setup to minimize Tech Neck triggers in daily life.
By combining natural, non-invasive care with posture correction and strength-building, we help patients move beyond temporary relief toward sustainable improvement.

I m professional ballroom dancer, so I had awful pain in my lower back when I came here first time. Now, after 3 month I feel much better.

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!

The staff is super friendly and welcoming. Dr. Michael is excellent and each time I leave feeling much better. Anybody walking in is definitely receiving the highest level of care!

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.

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.

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!

I always get great results from the professional and helpful staff. The chiropractic care has been instrumental in my active lifestyle.

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.

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!
