When your back stops screaming every time you bend over to pick up your kids, when your neck doesn’t throb after a day at the computer, when you can actually sleep through the night—that’s when you realize how much pain was stealing from your life. You’ll move with confidence again, whether you’re chasing toddlers around the house or getting back into the sports you love.
The relief isn’t temporary. It’s the kind that lets you plan weekend activities without wondering if your body will cooperate. Your family notices the difference when you’re not constantly shifting in your chair or declining invitations because you’re hurting.
Real chiropractic care addresses what’s actually wrong, not just what hurts today. You get your energy back, your mood improves, and you stop reaching for pain relievers every few hours.
Dr. Paul Roses has been serving Hudson County families since 1981, long before chiropractic care became mainstream. He’s provided on-site care for 9/11 first responders and witnessed seizures stop immediately in pediatric patients at St. Clare’s Home for Children.
Dr. Roses grew up in nearby Bayonne, attended St. Peter’s Prep, and chose this profession because he saw how it could help people avoid unnecessary drugs and surgeries. After graduating from Life Chiropractic College, he returned home to serve the community he knows.
Harbor Place families trust us because we’ve proven that gentle, precise adjustments work for everyone from newborns to grandparents. When your neighbor recommends their chiropractor, chances are they’re talking about us.
Your first visit starts with Dr. Roses listening to your story—not just where it hurts, but how it’s affecting your daily life. He’ll ask about your work setup, your sleep, your exercise routine, even how you carry your kids or groceries. This isn’t small talk; it’s detective work.
The examination is thorough but not invasive. We check how your spine moves, where it’s restricted, and what’s causing the problem. If you need X-rays, we’ll explain why and what we’re looking for. No surprises, no pressure.
The adjustment itself is precise and gentle. You might hear a pop (that’s just gas releasing from the joint), but you won’t feel forced or twisted. Most people feel immediate relief, though some need a few visits for lasting change. We’ll tell you exactly what to expect and how many visits you’ll likely need—no endless treatment plans or vague promises.

You get comprehensive chiropractic services designed for how Harbor Place families actually live. That means pediatric care for your newborn who’s having trouble nursing, sports injury recovery for your teenager’s soccer mishap, and posture correction for your work-from-home neck pain.
We treat the whole family because spinal health starts early. Birth trauma can affect how babies feed and sleep. Growing kids need proper spinal alignment as they hit developmental milestones. Active teenagers benefit from sports injury prevention, not just treatment after they’re hurt.
Adults in Harbor Place deal with unique challenges—long commutes to New York, desk jobs, weekend warrior activities, and the physical demands of parenting. We understand these pressures because we’ve been treating them for three decades. Our corrective exercises actually work because they’re designed for real life, not just the clinic.
Pediatric chiropractic care is not only safe—it’s essential for many children’s healthy development. We use gentle, specialized techniques designed specifically for infants and children, with pressure no greater than what you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato.
Recent 2024 research confirms that pediatric chiropractic care is both safe and common, with no severe side effects reported in comprehensive studies. Birth trauma affects most babies, even during normal deliveries, and can contribute to feeding difficulties, colic, sleep problems, and developmental delays.
Dr. Roses has extensive experience with pediatric patients, including his work with infants at St. Clare’s Home for Children. He’s witnessed immediate improvements in conditions like seizures, feeding problems, and sleep disturbances following gentle adjustments. Many Harbor Place parents bring their newborns for check-ups within days of birth to address any spinal misalignments early.
Most patients feel some relief after their first adjustment, but lasting change typically requires consistency over weeks, not months. We’ll give you an honest assessment based on your specific condition, how long you’ve had it, and your overall health.
Acute injuries (like a recent fall or sports mishap) often respond quickly—sometimes within 2-4 visits. Chronic conditions that have been building for months or years require more patience, usually 8-12 visits over 6-8 weeks to see significant improvement.
We don’t believe in endless treatment plans. We’ll tell you upfront what to expect and regularly reassess your progress. Many patients choose to continue with maintenance care once they’re feeling better, coming in monthly or quarterly to prevent problems from returning. The goal is always to get you functioning well with the least amount of intervention necessary.
Pain medication masks symptoms temporarily, while chiropractic care addresses the underlying mechanical problems causing your pain. When your spine is misaligned, it creates pressure on nerves, restricts movement, and forces surrounding muscles to work harder—leading to the pain you feel.
We identify these mechanical issues and correct them through precise spinal adjustments. This allows your body to heal naturally and function properly, often eliminating the need for ongoing medication. You’re not just covering up the problem; you’re actually fixing what’s wrong.
This approach is particularly important for Harbor Place families dealing with chronic conditions. Instead of increasing medication doses over time or dealing with side effects, chiropractic care often provides lasting relief that improves rather than diminishes with proper maintenance. Many patients find they can reduce or eliminate their pain medications entirely once their spinal function is restored.
Most major insurance plans cover chiropractic care, and we work with patients to maximize their benefits. Our office handles insurance verification and filing, so you don’t have to navigate the paperwork yourself. We’ll tell you upfront what your coverage includes and what you can expect to pay.
For patients without insurance or with limited coverage, payment plans are available. We believe cost shouldn’t prevent families from getting the care they need, especially when chiropractic treatment can help avoid expensive medications, injections, or surgeries down the road.
The investment in chiropractic care typically pays for itself through reduced medical costs, fewer sick days, and improved quality of life. Many Harbor Place patients find that regular chiropractic maintenance is less expensive than their previous spending on pain medications, massage therapy, or other temporary relief methods. Our office provides transparent pricing and works with each family’s budget.
Absolutely. “Tech neck” and computer-related headaches have become epidemic in Harbor Place, especially with more people working from home. Poor posture creates forward head position, rounded shoulders, and increased curvature in your upper back—all of which contribute to neck pain and tension headaches.
We address both the immediate pain and the underlying postural problems. Spinal adjustments restore proper alignment and reduce nerve irritation, while specific corrective exercises strengthen the muscles that support good posture. Most patients notice headache frequency decreasing within the first few weeks of treatment.
The key is addressing these problems before they become chronic. Many Harbor Place professionals wait until they can barely turn their heads or they’re getting daily headaches. Early intervention is much more effective and requires fewer visits. We also provide practical advice about workstation setup, stretches you can do during the workday, and habits that prevent problems from returning.
Your first visit begins with a detailed consultation where Dr. Roses learns about your health history, current symptoms, and how they’re affecting your daily life. He’ll ask about your work, sleep patterns, exercise routine, and any previous injuries—all of which help identify the root cause of your problem.
The physical examination includes checking your posture, range of motion, and spinal alignment. We’ll perform specific orthopedic and neurological tests to pinpoint exactly what’s wrong. If X-rays are necessary, we’ll explain why and what we’re looking for. Everything is explained clearly so you understand what’s happening.
Most patients receive their first adjustment during this initial visit, unless additional testing is needed first. We’ll explain our findings, outline a treatment plan, and give you realistic expectations about your recovery timeline. The entire process typically takes 45-60 minutes, and you’ll leave with a clear understanding of your condition and the next steps toward feeling better.
