You’ve tried everything else. Pain medications that barely touch the problem. Physical therapy that helps temporarily. Maybe you’ve even considered surgery.
Here’s what changes when your spine is properly aligned: You wake up without that familiar ache. You can play with your kids again without wincing. Your headaches disappear. You sleep through the night.
That’s not wishful thinking – that’s what happens when your nervous system can finally do its job. When there’s no interference between your brain and the rest of your body, healing happens naturally.
Dr. Paul Roses has been serving the Bates community since 1981. After graduating from Life Chiropractic College, he discovered something most doctors miss – your body already knows how to heal itself.
We’ve helped thousands of local families, from newborns to patients over 100 years old. Dr. Roses has worked with everyone from professional athletes to children with special needs, including his groundbreaking work with AIDS patients at St. Clare’s Home for Children.
What sets us apart isn’t just experience – it’s the understanding that every adjustment removes interference, allowing your body to express its full potential for health.
Your first visit starts with understanding exactly what’s happening in your spine. Dr. Roses uses advanced Titron Infrared Imaging technology – a painless scan that takes just seconds but reveals exactly where nerve interference is occurring.
If needed, digital x-rays provide additional insight into your spinal structure. This isn’t guesswork – it’s precise analysis of what your body needs.
Then comes the adjustment itself. Using gentle, specific techniques that work safely for everyone from infants to seniors, Dr. Roses removes the subluxations blocking your nervous system. You’ll also learn corrective exercises designed specifically for your condition – movements you can do at home to accelerate your healing.
The goal isn’t just pain relief. It’s restoring your spine to proper function so your body can maintain its own health naturally.

We provide comprehensive spinal care for the entire Bates community. Whether you’re dealing with chronic back pain, recovering from a sports injury, or seeking wellness care for your family, we offer specialized treatment approaches.
Our pediatric chiropractic care helps children develop properly from birth, addressing everything from colic to developmental delays.

For Bates residents dealing with the stress of daily life – whether from desk jobs, physical labor, or the general demands of New Jersey living – regular chiropractic care provides the foundation for long-term health. We also offer lifestyle coaching, helping patients understand how nutrition, exercise, and daily habits impact their spinal health.
Most patients notice some improvement after their first few adjustments, but everyone heals at their own pace. Your timeline depends on several factors: how long you’ve had the problem, your age, your overall health, and how well you follow the recommended care plan.
Some conditions respond quickly – acute injuries or recent pain often improve within days or weeks. Chronic issues that have been developing for months or years typically take longer to fully resolve. Dr. Roses will give you a realistic expectation during your initial consultation based on your specific condition.
The key is consistency. Just like braces gradually move teeth into proper position, your spine needs time to stabilize in its correct alignment. Skipping appointments or stopping care too early often means the problem returns.
Absolutely. Pediatric chiropractic care uses extremely gentle techniques specifically designed for developing spines. Dr. Roses has safely treated patients from newborns to over 100 years old, including his work with infants at St. Clare’s Home for Children.
Children’s spines are more flexible than adults, so adjustments require much less force – often just light pressure with fingertips. Many childhood issues like colic, ear infections, and sleep problems can be traced to spinal misalignments that occurred during birth or early development.
The adjustment techniques we use for children are completely different from adult treatments. There’s no twisting, popping, or forceful movements. Most children find the experience relaxing, and many fall asleep during treatment.
Not always, but they’re often helpful for creating the most effective treatment plan. Dr. Roses uses digital x-rays only when necessary to understand your specific spinal structure and rule out any serious underlying conditions.
X-rays are particularly important if you’ve had previous injuries, surgery, or if your examination reveals potential structural issues. They help identify problems that can’t be detected through physical examination alone, like old fractures, arthritis, or disc degeneration.
We use modern digital x-ray technology, which produces clearer images with significantly less radiation exposure than traditional film x-rays. If x-rays aren’t needed for your condition, Dr. Roses will explain why and proceed with treatment based on the physical examination and advanced imaging technology.
No, you’re not signing up for a lifetime commitment. The goal is to get you better and teach you how to stay that way. Treatment typically follows three phases: relief care, corrective care, and maintenance care.
Relief care focuses on reducing your immediate pain and symptoms. This phase usually requires more frequent visits until you’re feeling significantly better. Corrective care works on strengthening and stabilizing your spine to prevent the problem from returning.
Maintenance care is optional but recommended – like regular dental cleanings or car tune-ups. Many patients choose periodic check-ups because they feel better and want to maintain their progress. Others graduate from care completely once their spine is stable and they understand how to maintain their health independently.
Chiropractic care addresses much more than just back pain because your nervous system controls every function in your body. When spinal misalignments interfere with nerve communication, it can affect seemingly unrelated areas.
Common conditions that respond well to chiropractic care include neck pain, headaches, migraines, sciatica, and joint pain. But patients also report improvement in allergies, asthma, digestive issues, sleep problems, and even some cases of high blood pressure.
Dr. Roses has witnessed dramatic improvements in conditions like multiple sclerosis, chronic sinus problems, and various childhood developmental issues. While chiropractic doesn’t treat diseases directly, removing nerve interference allows your body’s natural healing abilities to function properly. This is why patients often experience improvements in areas they didn’t expect.
Dr. Roses combines over 40 years of experience with advanced technology and a deep understanding of how the nervous system affects total body health. We use Titron Infrared Imaging for precise diagnosis – technology that many offices don’t have.
More importantly, our focus isn’t just on treating symptoms but on understanding and correcting the underlying cause of your problems. Dr. Roses takes time to educate patients about their condition and provides specific corrective exercises designed for their unique situation.
Our practice philosophy centers on the body’s innate ability to heal itself when nerve interference is removed. This isn’t just about cracking bones – it’s about restoring proper nervous system function so your body can maintain its own health naturally. That’s why patients often see improvements in areas beyond their original complaint.
