Hear from Our Customers
You wake up without that stabbing back pain that’s been your unwelcome alarm clock for months. You bend down to tie your shoes without wincing or holding your breath. You sit through your entire commute to the city without shifting every five minutes trying to find a position that doesn’t hurt.
That’s what our patients tell us after treatment. Not just temporary relief that wears off by afternoon, but real improvement that lets you get back to the things that matter. Whether it’s playing with your kids without limitations, focusing at work instead of managing pain, or just sleeping through the night.
The difference isn’t just physical. It’s in how you feel about yourself when you’re not constantly managing discomfort, when you can trust your body again, when you stop planning every activity around what might hurt.
Dr. Paul Roses has been helping families in the Hudson County area since 1981, when he graduated from Life Chiropractic College. What started as a calling to help children has grown into a practice that serves everyone from infants to seniors.
Located just minutes from Sparrow Hill in nearby Bayonne, we understand the unique challenges facing working professionals in our area. Long commutes into Manhattan, hours at desk jobs, and the daily stress of life in one of the country’s most densely populated areas all take their toll on your spine.
We’ve built our reputation on something simple: getting real results for real people. Not flashy marketing or empty promises, but the kind of care that makes patients drive from surrounding towns because they know they’ll actually get better here.
Your first visit starts with understanding exactly what’s happening with your spine. We use advanced diagnostic technology, including Titron Infrared Imaging that takes just seconds and shows us precisely where the problems are. No guesswork, no one-size-fits-all approaches.
Once we know what we’re dealing with, Dr. Roses explains everything in plain English. What’s causing your pain, why it’s happening, and exactly what we’re going to do about it. Then comes the adjustment itself – precise, gentle, and designed specifically for your condition using state-of-the-art techniques.
But here’s what really sets us apart: we don’t just treat you and send you home. You’ll get personalized corrective exercises designed specifically for your problem that you can do at home. Plus, lifestyle coaching on how to avoid the activities and positions that created the problem in the first place. Because the goal isn’t just to fix what’s wrong – it’s to keep it from coming back.

We treat everything from chronic back pain and neck pain relief to headaches, sciatica, and sports injury recovery. But what many people don’t realize is how chiropractic care can help with conditions you might not expect – sinus problems, allergies, even sleep issues that stem from spinal misalignments.
For Sparrow Hill residents dealing with the physical demands of commuting and desk work, we focus heavily on posture correction and spinal traction therapy. The reality is that many spine problems we see come from modern lifestyle factors – hours hunched over computers, long car rides, and chronic stress that creates muscle tension.
We also provide specialized pediatric chiropractic care. Many parents in the Hudson County area are discovering that regular chiropractic adjustments help their children stay healthier, sleep better, and even perform better in school. It’s preventive care that sets kids up for a lifetime of better spinal health.
The best way to know is through a proper examination, but chiropractic care helps with far more conditions than most people realize. We regularly see patients with neck pain, chronic headaches, sciatica, sports injuries, and even conditions like sinus problems and allergies that stem from spinal nerve interference.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Roses will perform a comprehensive assessment including advanced imaging to pinpoint exactly what’s causing your symptoms. We’ll explain in detail whether chiropractic care is appropriate for your specific situation, and if it’s not the right approach, we’ll help you find the care you need.
The key is understanding that your spine houses your nervous system, which controls every function in your body. When vertebrae are misaligned – what we call subluxations – it can interfere with nerve function and cause problems you might never connect to your spine. That’s why patients are often surprised when chiropractic care helps conditions they didn’t expect.
Most patients start feeling some improvement within the first few visits, but everyone heals at their own pace. Some of our patients with acute injuries feel significantly better after just 2-3 adjustments, while others with chronic conditions that have developed over years may need several weeks of consistent treatment.
The timeline depends on several factors: how long you’ve had the problem, your overall health and age, how severe the condition is, and how well you follow the corrective exercises and lifestyle recommendations we provide. What we can tell you is that we track your progress carefully at each visit and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
We’re not interested in keeping you coming indefinitely. Our goal is to get you better, teach you how to maintain that improvement, and transition you to periodic maintenance care. Most patients find they need fewer visits as their condition improves and their spine becomes more stable. We’ll always be honest about your progress and realistic about expectations.
Chiropractic care is one of the safest forms of healthcare available, with serious complications being extremely rare when performed by a licensed professional. Dr. Roses has over 40 years of experience and uses the most advanced, gentle adjustment techniques available. We also offer instrument-assisted adjustments for patients who prefer not to have manual spinal manipulation.
Before any treatment, we perform a complete examination including necessary X-rays to ensure it’s completely safe to proceed. We never adjust anything we haven’t thoroughly examined first. For patients with certain health conditions or specific concerns, we modify our approach or use alternative gentle techniques that are equally effective.
The “popping” sound you sometimes hear during adjustments is just gas bubbles releasing from the joints – it’s completely harmless and actually indicates the adjustment was successful. Many patients find the sound reassuring. But if you’re uncomfortable with that, we have gentle techniques that work just as well without any audible release. Your comfort and safety are always our top priorities.
Yes, we provide specialized pediatric chiropractic care, and it’s completely safe when performed by a trained professional like Dr. Roses. Children’s spines are still developing, so we use much gentler techniques – often just light fingertip pressure rather than traditional adult adjustments.
Many parents are surprised to learn how much chiropractic care can benefit their children. We see kids for everything from colic and sleep problems in infants to posture issues, growing pains, and sports injuries in older children. Regular chiropractic care can help children stay healthier overall, improve their posture habits early, and even enhance their performance in sports and school.
The techniques we use for children are completely different from adult spinal adjustments. There’s no forceful manipulation whatsoever – just gentle corrections that help their developing spines maintain proper alignment. Most children actually enjoy their visits and feel great afterward. We take extra time to explain everything to both parents and children so everyone feels comfortable and informed.
Your first visit will take about 45-60 minutes and includes a complete consultation, thorough examination, and likely your first treatment if appropriate. We start by discussing your health history, current symptoms, and what activities or positions make your pain better or worse.
Next comes the physical examination, which includes checking your posture, range of motion, muscle strength, and reflexes. We use advanced diagnostic technology like Titron Infrared Imaging to get a clear picture of what’s happening with your spine and nervous system. If clinically necessary, we’ll also take X-rays to rule out any serious conditions.
Once we understand your condition completely, Dr. Roses will explain exactly what’s wrong, what likely caused it, and what we can do to correct it. If you’re a good candidate for chiropractic care, we’ll usually begin treatment that same day with gentle adjustments. You’ll also receive specific corrective exercises and recommendations for activities to avoid while you’re healing, plus lifestyle modifications to prevent the problem from returning.
We work with most major insurance plans and will verify your specific benefits before your first visit so you know exactly what to expect financially. Our experienced staff handles all the insurance paperwork and filing, so you don’t have to deal with the hassle of claims or insurance company communications.
For patients without insurance coverage or those with high deductibles, we offer reasonable cash payment options and flexible payment plans. We believe that financial concerns shouldn’t prevent anyone from getting the care they need, so we’re always willing to work with patients to find a solution that fits their budget.
The cost of chiropractic care is often much less than patients expect, especially when you consider the alternatives. Most patients find that a series of chiropractic visits costs significantly less than ongoing prescription medications, multiple specialist consultations, expensive imaging studies, or potential surgery. Plus, many insurance plans cover chiropractic care with minimal copays, making it one of the most cost-effective healthcare options available.
