Torticollis Treatment with Physical Therapy
Torticollis Treatment in Hoboken, NJ
Hudson Family Chiropractic and Physical Therapy
Treating torticollis with physical therapy
Torticollis is a condition defined by an abnormal, asymmetrical head or neck position. Many conditions may lead to the development of torticollis including: muscular fibrosis, congenital spine abnormalities, decreased blood supply to the muscle, difficulty during delivery, and positioning of the baby inside the uterus during the last few weeks of pregnancy.
It is highly important to have torticollis treated to prevent a permanent shortening of the involved muscles. In addition, therapy can help avoid needed surgery and decreases head and neck pain.
Our approach
Marissa Servello, PT, DPT, ATC will perform an evaluation to assess the child’s passive range of motion, active range of motion, muscle tightness, muscle strength and gross motor skills. Other conditions will be checked for including hip dysplasia and spine problems. Physical therapy may include active and passive stretching of the neck and shoulder muscles. Positioning and handling techniques may also be utilized to correct the child’s posture.
Instructions may also be provide for the family to perform at home on a daily basis.

What Patients are Saying…
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!

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!

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

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.

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.

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.
