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.

Many women experience neck and back problems as well as sciatica during their pregnancy. Many women ask “Can I visit a chiropractor while I’m pregnant?” The answer is yes. Chiropractic care can help tremendously in these situations. Pregnant women are treated with special, gentle care that will not cause harm to your baby. Our office has a special table that allows the abdominal piece to drop down. This allows a pregnant woman to comfortably lie face down while these procedures are performed.
During pregnancy, the body goes through amazing changes. With the spine, pelvis and other parts of the body moving around during every stage of a pregnancy, musculoskeletal dysfunction can occur, resulting in disorders that can affect your joints and musculature, causing significant pain and discomfort.
With the body changing drastically, the spinal column itself moves to accommodate a child and the extra weight. The pelvis undergoes many changes to compensate for the growing baby as well. Risk of muscular joint dysfunction and interference of the nervous system can increase as pregnancy continues. The pelvis supports the growing uterus with specific ligaments. If the bones of the pelvis become restricted, this will cause asymmetrical ligament support of the uterus. This results in a more difficult passage for the baby during delivery.
These structural changes can affect the nerves and the spinal cord, disrupting the normal communication of information between the brain and the body. Our chiropractors can adjust a spine and extremities to help the body feel relaxed and subside pain or soreness.
Benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy:
- Help reduce or eliminate restless leg
- Decrease lower back pain
- Reduce or eliminate headaches
- Reduce nerve pain
- Decrease joint pain
Postnatal
Childbirth and pregnancy take an enormous toll on a woman’s body. Many women are being treated for repetitive stress injuries that occur as a result of being a new parent. Repetitive stress injuries (RSIs) are disorders that are caused by performing everyday tasks with poor posture, such as carrying a baby in an infant car seat, breastfeeding, bending over to put your baby in the crib, etc. Never mind the stress of having to take care of your baby on small amounts of interrupted sleep.
These injuries can cause pain in your neck, shoulders, wrists, elbows, upper back, and lower back. Our chiropractors and physical therapist are trained to relieve your pain, and educate you on how to perform certain activities with correct posture to prevent RSIs.
Also, many women will need to learn how to manage low back pain and weakness that occurs as a result of being pregnant, giving birth vaginally, or undergoing a c-section. The good news is, physical therapists are experts in managing and rehabilitating this type of condition!
So, if you’re looking for pain relief and rehabilitation of any spinal or extremity condition, we are here for you. Also remember to check out our postnatal pilates rehabilitation page: Pre/Postnatal Pilates

What Patients are Saying…
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 have worked with Dr. Mike for years. His gentle, attentive approach to chiropractor work takes all the nervousness about going to get an adjustment. And he doesn’t just do adjustments. He does deep stretches to ensure a correct spine adjustment and will even recommend exercises to do to improve posture. He is knowledgeable and incredibly effective. I always feel notably better after each visit. He is humble, friendly and extremely easy to work with. Do not hesitate in seeking his services for all of your chiropractory needs. You will not be disappointed.

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!

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!

Super friendly and knowledgeable support staff. Dr. Bill McGill mostly, and seemingly magically, resolved shoulder/back problem. Definitely going back!
