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…
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.

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 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!

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 woke up yesterday with terrible back pain that got unbearable by the end of the day; a big issue since I couldn’t pick my 4mo out of his crib. I googled Chiropractors near me and Hudson Family came up in the results. A big reason I chose them was because they have a pelvic floor specialist and I assumed that was part of my problem. I was able to book a first time appointment for the following morning (amazing). I went in this morning and had a great experience with Dr. Bill. He listened to everything I had to say and did multiple things to try and ease the pain (which he did). He also did a great job of explaining everything he was doing which I always appreciate. I left feeling so much better and booked a followup appointment for early next week!

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.

Saw Dr. Mike and definitely recommend! Have been training for a power lifting meet and came as I’m starting to lift heavier and my back and butt have felt sorer as the weeks go by.
First appointment, was seen on time, quick and painless appointment. The staff was helpful and his work up was great. At the end of my session Dr. Mike didn’t recommend for me to go back which is what I feel usually happens with most chiropractors or PT. Run up my insurance and take advantage of my benefits. I will most definitely be back for adjustments in the future for some maintenance and better health.
I feel like he released like 15 years of tension from my body. Thank you!

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’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!
