"We live here, we work here, we raise our families here in Hunterdon County. Your lives, your health, your mobility — being able to live life pain free and aging gracefully — are vitally important to us."
Hunterdon Back Pain Center is Murray Chiropractic — a family practice with deep roots in Hunterdon County. Dr. John Murray founded the practice in 1980 after graduating Palmer College. His daughter, Dr. Hilary Schweitzer, and his son-in-law, Dr. Zak Haapaoja, joined him. All three are Palmer-trained, and all three live and work in the community they serve.
Dr. John has worked with patients across nearly five decades — many of his current patients are the children and grandchildren of his original 1980 patients. Dr. Zak and Dr. Hilary bring the next generation of clinical training, with particular focus on sports injury recovery and care for active families.
Seven adjusting tables. Three Cox flexion-distraction decompression tables. DTS spinal decompression. Digital X-ray on-site, read by all three doctors in the room with you, the same day. Every treatment plan is built around your body, your history, and your goals — never a template.
We accept all insurance plans, in-network with Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield NJ and Medicare. We verify your benefits before your first visit and handle the billing on your behalf. Most Medicare patients carry a Supplement plan that covers what Original Medicare doesn't — meaning the majority of our seniors pay nothing out of pocket at the visit.

"I've been going to Murray Chiropractic for well over ten years. My back and neck were badly injured in a car accident years ago, and as I get older my movement and mobility have gotten more limited. I now see Dr. Zak, and he literally makes it possible for me to live my daily life with as little pain as possible. This morning I hobbled in and walked out. Worth every visit."
"I'm on the Saturday morning crew with Dr. Zak. My back and neck are sore from desk work all week, riding my motorcycle, and training for martial arts. My weekly adjustment is so important to me — it keeps me in the game. One of my favorite parts is that my 5-year-old son, Bryson, comes with me often and pushes the buttons for Dr. Zak to raise the elevated table. My pain goes away and my son smiles — a pretty cool Saturday morning if you ask me."
"I'm in my 60s, and a lifetime of work and a life well lived comes with aches and pains that need a little help. Murray Chiropractic keeps me moving and enjoying life — fuller, better, and on my feet. My family has trusted them with our health for over 30 years. They've earned it."
"My family has been with Dr. John since I was a child — more than 30 years now. Between work, childbirth, and chasing little ones around, my neck and back take the brunt of it. I need to be present for my family and my life, and seeing Dr. Zak regularly keeps me at my best."
"My family has been going to Murray Chiropractic for years and years. They know us, we know them. As a mom with two young kids, my body takes a beating, and all the desk work I do only adds to it. My husband and I keep coming back because they don't just treat our aches and pains — they treat us like extended family."
