Red Hook's Hudson Valley Chiropractic, under the leadership of Dr. Emily Bobson, Chiropractor, is committed to delivering hope, healing, and natural, drug-free care to families in the Hudson Valley community.

The practice focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of health challenges through nervous system-centered chiropractic care for both children and adults. Unlike traditional chiropractic methods that rely on large, cracking adjustments or focus solely on symptom relief, Dr. Emily Bobson specializes in neurotonal chiropractic care, a gentle and precision-based approach that brings ease to the central nervous system and supports natural developmental processes. Using INSiGHT scans, Dr. Bobson can visualize nervous system stress and identify imbalances that may present as sleep disturbances, digestive issues, or developmental delays, helping babies and children flourish before they miss milestones that might signal something deeper is at play.
