Picture this: you wake up without that familiar stab of pain. You turn your head to check the clock without wincing. You pick up your kids without bracing yourself.
That’s what happens when your spine gets the attention it deserves. Not the band-aid approach of masking symptoms, but actually addressing what’s causing the problem in the first place.
Your body knows how to heal itself. Sometimes it just needs the interference removed so it can do what it was designed to do.
Dr. Paul Roses has been serving Harbor Place and the greater Hudson County area for over three decades. He’s not new to this.
He’s treated everyone from babies to 95-year-olds. He’s worked with the heroes who responded to 9/11, providing on-site care to firefighters and police officers pulling people from the rubble.
This isn’t about quick fixes or getting you out the door. Dr. Roses grew up right here in Bayonne, went to St. Peter’s Prep, and chose to build his practice in the community that raised him. When your neighbors trust someone with their health for thirty years, that tells you something.
First, Dr. Roses listens. Really listens. He wants to understand how your pain started, what makes it worse, and how it’s affecting your daily life.
Then comes the examination. He’ll check your spine alignment, test your range of motion, and identify exactly where the problem is coming from. No guesswork.
The adjustment itself is precise. Using controlled, targeted movements, he’ll work to restore proper alignment to your spine. This isn’t about cracking bones for the sake of it—every adjustment has a purpose.
Most patients notice improvement right away, though the real changes happen over time as your body remembers how it’s supposed to function.

We treat the whole spectrum of musculoskeletal issues. Back pain, neck stiffness, headaches, sciatica, muscle tension—if it’s related to your spine and nervous system, we’ve seen it.
Harbor Place residents deal with unique challenges. Long commutes into the city create neck and shoulder tension. Desk jobs contribute to poor posture and lower back problems. Weekend warriors push their bodies and end up with sports injuries.
The good news? These are exactly the kinds of problems that respond well to chiropractic care. We’ve been helping people in this area navigate these challenges for decades. We understand the lifestyle factors that contribute to your pain, and more importantly, we know how to address them effectively.
Most patients notice some improvement after their first few visits, but everyone’s different. If you’ve been dealing with pain for months or years, it’s going to take time to undo that damage.
Think of it like getting back in shape—you didn’t get out of shape overnight, and you won’t get back in shape overnight either. But just like with exercise, you’ll start feeling better pretty quickly even though the full results take time.
Dr. Roses will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific condition. Some people feel significantly better within a few weeks, others need a few months of consistent treatment to get where they want to be.
Absolutely. We’ve treated patients from babies to 95-year-olds safely and effectively. The techniques are adjusted based on age, condition, and individual needs.
For children, chiropractic care can help with everything from colic in infants to sports injuries in teenagers. The adjustments are much gentler than what adults receive, but they can be incredibly effective.
For older adults, chiropractic care often provides relief when other treatments haven’t worked. We take extra care with seniors, understanding that their bones and joints need a different approach. Many of our long-term patients are in their 70s and 80s and still living active, pain-free lives.
Your first visit will be longer than follow-up appointments because Dr. Roses needs to understand your complete health picture. Plan on about an hour.
You’ll start with paperwork covering your health history and current symptoms. Then Dr. Roses will sit down with you and actually listen to your story—when the pain started, what makes it better or worse, how it’s affecting your life.
The physical examination comes next. He’ll check your posture, test your range of motion, and examine your spine. Depending on your condition, he might recommend X-rays, though that’s not always necessary. Only after he understands exactly what’s going on will he begin treatment.
Most insurance plans cover chiropractic care, and we work with most major insurance providers. However, coverage varies significantly between plans, so it’s worth checking with your insurance company about your specific benefits.
Our office staff can help verify your coverage before your first appointment. They’ll contact your insurance company to find out what your copay will be, whether you need a referral, and how many visits are covered per year.
Even if your insurance doesn’t cover chiropractic care, or if you’ve reached your annual limit, we offer reasonable cash rates. Many patients find that the relief they get is worth paying out of pocket, especially when you consider the cost of ongoing pain medication or other treatments that only mask symptoms.
Yes, especially if your headaches are related to neck tension or poor posture. Many headaches actually start in the neck and upper spine, not in your head.
When the vertebrae in your neck are misaligned, they can put pressure on nerves and create muscle tension that radiates up into your head. This is particularly common in people who work at computers all day or who sleep in awkward positions.
We’ve helped countless patients reduce both the frequency and intensity of their headaches through spinal adjustments and postural corrections. While we can’t guarantee that chiropractic care will eliminate all headaches—some have other causes—many patients are surprised at how much their headache patterns improve once their neck alignment is corrected.
This depends entirely on your condition, how long you’ve been dealing with the problem, and how your body responds to treatment. Dr. Roses will give you a treatment plan after your initial examination.
For acute problems—like if you threw out your back last week—you might need to come in 2-3 times in the first week, then gradually reduce frequency as you improve. For chronic issues that have been building up over years, you’ll likely need more consistent treatment over a longer period.
The goal is always to get you feeling better and keep you that way with minimal ongoing treatment. Many patients eventually move to monthly or quarterly “maintenance” visits to prevent problems from recurring, but that’s entirely up to you and how your body responds.
