Your back wasn’t designed to hurt every morning or limit what you can do with your family. When you address the root cause of your pain instead of masking symptoms, your body can heal the way it was meant to.
Most of our patients notice significant improvement in their daily activities within the first few weeks. You’ll sleep better, work more comfortably, and return to the activities you’ve been avoiding because of pain.
The difference isn’t just less pain – it’s getting back to feeling like yourself again. No more planning your day around when your back might act up or avoiding lifting your grandchildren because you’re afraid of the consequences.
Dr. Paul Roses has been serving families throughout Hudson County since 1981, bringing advanced chiropractic techniques to India Square and the surrounding communities. What started as a calling to help children has evolved into a practice that serves patients of all ages with the same dedication.
You’re not just another appointment here. Dr. Roses takes time to understand your specific situation, whether you’re dealing with work-related stress on your spine from long commutes into Manhattan, or weekend warrior injuries from staying active in Liberty State Park.
This community knows the unique challenges of urban living – from carrying groceries up walk-up apartments to the physical demands of commuter life. That’s exactly why our approach focuses on practical solutions that fit your real-world needs.
Your first visit starts with understanding exactly what’s happening with your spine. We use advanced diagnostic tools, including Titron Infrared Imaging, to get a clear picture of your condition in just seconds – completely painless and incredibly revealing.
Once we identify the source of your pain, Dr. Roses explains everything in plain English. No confusing medical jargon or vague promises. You’ll understand what’s causing your discomfort and exactly how we’re going to address it.
Treatment involves precise spinal adjustments using state-of-the-art techniques that are safer and more effective than ever before. Many patients are surprised by how gentle the process feels, especially if they’ve been putting off care because they were nervous about chiropractic treatment.
You’ll also receive customized exercises designed specifically for your condition – simple movements you can do at home that significantly boost your progress between visits.

Your treatment plan addresses more than just the immediate pain. We focus on correcting the underlying issues that led to your discomfort in the first place, whether that’s poor posture from desk work, muscle tension from stress, or alignment problems from old injuries.
Living in India Square means dealing with unique physical stresses – from navigating uneven sidewalks to the constant stop-and-go of urban traffic that can wreak havoc on your neck and shoulders. Our approach takes these daily realities into account.
Beyond spinal adjustments, you’ll receive lifestyle guidance tailored to your environment. Simple changes in how you sleep, sit, and move through your day can make a dramatic difference in preventing future problems. We also provide posture and spinal screenings at local community events, because prevention is always better than treatment.
Most patients notice some improvement within the first few visits, with significant progress typically occurring within 2-3 weeks of consistent treatment. However, your timeline depends on several factors including how long you’ve had the problem, your overall health, and how well you follow the recommended treatment plan.
Acute injuries often respond faster than chronic conditions that have been developing for months or years. The key is consistency – patients who stick to their appointment schedule and perform their home exercises see results much faster than those who skip visits or ignore the lifestyle recommendations.
Remember, your body didn’t develop these problems overnight, and lasting healing takes time. But unlike masking pain with medications, chiropractic care addresses the root cause, which means the improvements you experience are genuine and long-lasting.
Chiropractic care is one of the safest forms of healthcare available when performed by a licensed professional. Dr. Roses uses gentle, precise techniques that most patients find surprisingly comfortable – many are amazed at how different the experience is from what they expected.
You might hear a small popping sound during adjustments, which is completely normal and painless. It’s simply gas bubbles being released from the joints, similar to cracking your knuckles. Some patients feel immediate relief, while others experience mild soreness similar to what you might feel after exercising – this typically resolves within 24 hours.
We also offer instrument-assisted techniques that don’t require any turning or twisting of your neck or spine, perfect for patients who prefer an even gentler approach. Your comfort and safety are always the top priorities, and we’ll adjust our methods based on your specific needs and preferences.
While most people think of chiropractors for back pain, we successfully treat a wide range of conditions including neck stiffness, headaches, shoulder pain, sciatica, and muscle tension throughout the body. The nervous system controls every function in your body, so when spinal misalignments interfere with nerve communication, the effects can be surprisingly widespread.
Many patients are amazed to discover that their chronic headaches, sleeping problems, or even digestive issues improve once their spine is properly aligned. We’ve seen patients with conditions ranging from sinus problems to allergies experience significant improvement through chiropractic care.
The key is understanding that your spine isn’t just about back pain – it’s the foundation of your entire nervous system. When we remove interference from this system, your body’s natural healing abilities can function optimally, often addressing problems you didn’t even realize were connected to your spinal health.
No referral is necessary to begin chiropractic care. You can schedule an appointment directly with our office. In fact, many people choose to see a chiropractor first because it’s often more cost-effective and less invasive than traditional medical approaches for musculoskeletal problems.
Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover chiropractic care when it’s medically necessary. We’ll verify your benefits and explain your coverage before beginning treatment so there are no surprises. Even if you’re paying out of pocket, chiropractic care is typically much more affordable than emergency room visits, MRIs, or surgical consultations.
We believe in working collaboratively with your other healthcare providers when appropriate. If Dr. Roses determines that your condition requires medical intervention beyond chiropractic care, he’ll refer you to the appropriate specialist and can coordinate your care to ensure the best possible outcome.
Your treatment frequency depends entirely on your specific condition, how long you’ve had the problem, and how your body responds to care. Initially, you might need more frequent visits to get your condition stabilized – perhaps 2-3 times per week for the first couple of weeks.
As you improve, we’ll space out your appointments. Many patients transition to once a week, then every other week, and eventually to monthly maintenance visits to prevent problems from returning. The goal is always to get you feeling better with the fewest visits possible.
Dr. Roses will be completely transparent about his recommendations and explain exactly why he’s suggesting a particular schedule. You’re never pressured into more care than you need, and you’re always free to adjust the frequency based on your schedule, budget, and comfort level. Some patients choose ongoing wellness care, while others prefer to come only when problems arise.
Your first visit is all about understanding your unique situation. Plan on spending about 45 minutes to an hour so Dr. Roses can thoroughly evaluate your condition and explain his findings. You’ll start with a detailed discussion about your symptoms, when they started, and how they’re affecting your daily life.
The physical examination includes checking your posture, range of motion, and muscle strength. We use advanced diagnostic tools like Titron Infrared Imaging to get a clear picture of what’s happening with your spine. If X-rays are needed, we’ll discuss that with you and explain exactly why they’re necessary.
Most importantly, you’ll leave with a clear understanding of your condition and a specific treatment plan. Dr. Roses explains everything in terms you can understand, answers all your questions, and makes sure you’re completely comfortable before beginning any treatment. Many patients are relieved to finally understand what’s been causing their pain and to have a clear path forward.
