You wake up without that familiar ache. You can lift your kids without wincing. You actually look forward to your weekend plans instead of wondering if your back will cooperate.
That’s what happens when you address the root cause of your pain instead of just masking symptoms. Your body starts moving the way it’s supposed to. Your sleep improves because you’re not tossing and turning to find a comfortable position.
Most importantly, you get back to being yourself – the person who doesn’t think twice about bending over to tie their shoes or reaching for something on a high shelf.
Dr. Paul Roses has been helping Canal Crossing residents find real relief since 1984. He’s not just another chiropractor – he’s someone who understands what it’s like to live with pain and knows exactly how to fix it.
After graduating from Life Chiropractic College in 1981, Dr. Roses returned to serve his community in Hudson County. He’s treated everyone from 9/11 first responders to local families dealing with everyday aches and pains.
What sets us apart is our approach: we actually listen to what’s wrong, explain what we’re doing, and follow up to make sure you’re getting better. That’s why our patients give us a 4.63 out of 5 rating and keep coming back.
First, we talk. Dr. Roses wants to understand when your pain started, what makes it worse, and how it’s affecting your daily life. No rushing through a checklist – just a real conversation about what’s going on.
Next comes the examination. We’ll check your range of motion, test your reflexes, and pinpoint exactly where the problem is. Sometimes the source of your pain isn’t where you think it is.
Then you get your adjustment. Dr. Roses uses proven techniques to realign your spine and relieve pressure on irritated nerves. Most patients feel some relief immediately, though full healing takes time.
Finally, you get a plan. This isn’t just about fixing today’s problem – it’s about preventing it from coming back. You’ll know what to expect, how long recovery typically takes, and what you can do at home to speed things along.

We treat the full spectrum of musculoskeletal problems that affect Canal Crossing residents. Whether you’re dealing with lower back pain from sitting at a desk all day, neck stiffness from looking down at your phone, or muscle tension from the stress of daily life, we’ve got solutions that work.
Canal Crossing’s rapid development means more construction jobs, more commuting, and more people spending long hours in cars or at computers. All of this takes a toll on your spine and surrounding muscles. We see these patterns every day and know exactly how to address them.
Our approach combines traditional chiropractic adjustments with soft tissue therapy, corrective exercises, and lifestyle modifications. We don’t just want you to feel better for a few days – we want you to stay better. That means addressing the habits and conditions that caused your pain in the first place.
Most patients notice some improvement after their first adjustment, but everyone’s different. If you’ve been dealing with pain for months or years, it’s going to take more than one visit to fully resolve.
Typically, acute pain (something that just happened) responds faster than chronic issues. You might feel 50-70% better within the first week if it’s a recent injury. For longer-term problems, expect gradual improvement over 2-4 weeks of consistent care.
The key is following through with your treatment plan. Dr. Roses will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific condition, age, and overall health. Some people try to rush the process and end up reinjuring themselves.
Yes, we accept most major insurance plans, including workers’ compensation, no-fault, and personal injury protection (PIP). We’ll verify your coverage before your first visit so there are no surprises.
Many insurance plans cover chiropractic care because it’s proven to be cost-effective compared to other treatments. Recent updates from Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey have actually expanded coverage for chiropractic services when combined with evaluation and management.
If you don’t have insurance or your plan doesn’t cover chiropractic care, we offer affordable cash payment options. Don’t let cost keep you from getting the help you need – we’ll work with you to find a solution that fits your budget.
Absolutely. Dr. Roses has been treating patients of all ages for over 30 years, from infants to seniors. Chiropractic care is one of the safest, most natural forms of healthcare available.
For children, gentle adjustments can help with everything from colic and sleep issues to sports injuries and growing pains. Many parents are surprised to learn that kids can benefit from chiropractic care just as much as adults.
For seniors, we modify our techniques to account for conditions like osteoporosis or arthritis. The goal is always to improve mobility and reduce pain without causing any harm. Dr. Roses takes extra time with older patients to ensure they’re comfortable throughout the entire process.
While both help with musculoskeletal problems, the approaches are different. Chiropractors focus on spinal alignment and how nerve interference affects your entire body. Physical therapists primarily work on strengthening muscles and improving movement patterns.
Chiropractic adjustments can provide immediate relief by removing pressure from irritated nerves. This often allows your body’s natural healing processes to kick in more effectively. Physical therapy typically requires weeks of exercises before you notice significant improvement.
That said, the two treatments complement each other well. Dr. Roses often recommends specific exercises and stretches to support your chiropractic care. Some patients benefit from doing both simultaneously, especially after injuries or for chronic conditions.
This depends entirely on your condition, how long you’ve had it, and how your body responds to treatment. Dr. Roses will give you an honest assessment after your initial examination.
For simple problems like a recent muscle strain or minor misalignment, you might only need 3-6 visits. Chronic issues that have been building up over months or years typically require more comprehensive care – sometimes 12-20 visits over several months.
The important thing is that you should see measurable progress along the way. If you’re not feeling better after a reasonable number of treatments, Dr. Roses will reassess your condition and may recommend a different approach or refer you to another specialist.
Yes, especially tension headaches and those caused by neck problems. Many headaches actually start in your neck and upper back, where muscle tension and misaligned vertebrae can irritate nerves that go to your head.
Neck stiffness is one of the most common problems we treat. Whether it’s from sleeping wrong, sitting at a computer all day, or constantly looking down at your phone, chiropractic adjustments can restore normal movement and reduce muscle tension.
Dr. Roses will examine your neck and upper back to identify the specific cause of your headaches or stiffness. Treatment typically involves gentle adjustments to realign your cervical spine, along with soft tissue work to relax tight muscles. Most patients notice improvement within a few visits.
