Whiplash & Auto Accident Injury Care in Hoboken, NJ
Hudson Family Chiropractic, Physical Therapy & Acupuncture
Gentle, Evidence-Based Chiropractic Treatment for Collision-Related Pain
If you’ve been in a motor vehicle collision, whether a minor fender bender or a serious crash, you may be dealing with lingering pain, stiffness, or limited mobility. At Hudson Family Chiropractic, Physical Therapy & Acupuncture in Hoboken, NJ, we specialize in comprehensive auto accident injury treatment, including whiplash, neck pain, back pain, soft tissue injuries, and more. Our goal is to help you recover safely, naturally, and fully so you can get back to your life without ongoing discomfort.
We understand how common collision injuries can impact your body long after the initial crash. That’s why our experienced chiropractors and therapists create individualized treatment plans that address the root causes of pain, not just the symptoms.
What Is Whiplash?
Whiplash is a neck injury most often caused by the rapid back-and-forth motion of the head during a car accident. This sudden force can stretch and strain the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the cervical spine (neck), leading to a range of symptoms that may appear immediately or days after the accident.
Common Whiplash Symptoms
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Headaches starting at the base of the skull
- Shoulder or upper back discomfort
- Dizziness or light-headedness
- Tingling or numbness in arms or hands
- Limited range of motion or muscle tightness
Causes of Auto Accident Injuries
Even a low-impact collision can cause significant stress to your spine and soft tissues. Common causes of auto injury symptoms include:
- Sudden impact forces that misalign vertebrae or strain soft tissues
- Rapid acceleration/deceleration of the head and neck (classic whiplash mechanism)
- Muscle sprains and ligament strains from collision forces
- Compression of nerves in the neck or back
- Delayed symptom onset as inflammation and stiffness build over hours or days
Why Prompt Whiplash Treatment Matters
Many people delay care after an accident because pain can be subtle at first. However, untreated whiplash and auto injuries can lead to long-term complications, including:
- Chronic neck or back pain
- Persistent headaches
- Reduced mobility and stiffness
- Muscle imbalances and postural issues
- Increased scar tissue and slower healing
- Nerve irritation and radiating symptoms
Being proactive minimizes the risk of symptoms becoming chronic and supports a more complete recovery.

Q: How long does recovery take?
A: Recovery varies based on injury severity, age, and overall health. Some patients see improvement in a few weeks while others benefit from ongoing therapeutic support.

What Patients are Saying…
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 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.

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.

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 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!

I have been going to Mike and John for the past 3+ years and they are hands down the best chiropractors that I have ever been to. It started out with a neck injury and I had a 1/2 marathon race the week after. After a few visits, they were able to help me and I ended up PRing that race. I continue to go to them for tune ups and also when I’m preparing for a race. Also, they are both very personable and easy to talk to!

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.
