Dr. Paul Roses has dedicated his practice to serving the people of Hudson County through natural, drug-free chiropractic care. His personal mission is simple: help you live healthier without unnecessary medications.
Located in the heart of Journal Square, we understand the unique challenges facing local residents. Whether you’re dealing with pain from long commutes on the PATH train, hours at a desk job in Manhattan, or the physical demands of work in Hudson County’s industrial areas, we’ve seen it all.
The diverse Journal Square community deserves healthcare that respects both your time and your wallet, which is why our focus stays on effective, evidence-based treatments that get results.
Your first visit starts with understanding exactly what’s causing your pain. Dr. Roses takes time to listen to your concerns and examines how your condition affects your daily life, work, and sleep.
A thorough physical examination identifies the root cause of your discomfort. This might include checking your posture, range of motion, and specific areas of tension or misalignment.
Once the source is identified, you’ll receive a personalized treatment plan. This typically includes gentle spinal adjustments designed to restore proper alignment, reduce nerve interference, and allow your body’s natural healing processes to work.
Follow-up visits track your progress and adjust the treatment as needed. Most patients notice improvement within the first few sessions, with continued care focusing on long-term relief and prevention.

Journal Square residents face unique challenges that contribute to back and neck pain. Long commutes, whether standing on crowded PATH trains or sitting in traffic through the Holland Tunnel, create muscle tension and spinal misalignments.
Many locals work demanding jobs in nearby Manhattan or in Hudson County’s warehouses and industrial facilities. These environments often involve repetitive motions, heavy lifting, or prolonged sitting that puts stress on your spine.
Our treatment approach addresses these local factors. Spinal adjustments target misalignments caused by commuting postures and work-related stress. Soft tissue therapy releases muscle tension from carrying heavy bags or maintaining awkward positions during travel.
You’ll also receive guidance on ergonomics and posture corrections specific to your daily routine, whether that’s adjusting your workspace setup or learning better ways to handle your commute without aggravating your condition.
Most patients begin noticing improvement within the first 2-3 visits, though this varies depending on how long you’ve been dealing with pain and what’s causing it. Acute injuries from recent incidents often respond faster than chronic conditions that have been building for months or years.
Your body needs time to adjust and heal, especially if you’ve been compensating for pain by changing how you move or sit. Some people feel immediate relief after their first adjustment, while others experience gradual improvement over several weeks.
The key is consistency with your treatment plan. Skipping appointments or waiting too long between visits can slow your progress and sometimes require starting over with the healing process.
Chiropractic care is extremely safe when performed by a licensed professional. Serious complications are rare, occurring in less than one in several million treatments. Most people experience only mild soreness similar to what you might feel after exercising, which typically resolves within 24 hours.
During an adjustment, you’ll hear popping or cracking sounds as gas bubbles are released from your joints. This is completely normal and usually painless. Dr. Roses uses controlled, precise movements to restore proper joint function and alignment.
Some patients feel immediate relief, while others might experience temporary soreness as their body adjusts to the correction. This is part of the healing process as muscles and ligaments adapt to improved spinal alignment.
The goal is always to get you better and keep you better, not create dependency on ongoing treatment. Most acute conditions resolve within 4-8 weeks of consistent care, while chronic issues may take longer depending on how long they’ve been developing.
Your treatment plan will have specific goals and milestones to track progress. As you improve, visits typically become less frequent, transitioning from multiple times per week to weekly, then monthly maintenance visits if needed.
Many patients choose periodic check-ups to prevent problems from returning, especially if their work or lifestyle puts ongoing stress on their spine. Think of it like regular dental cleanings – preventive care that helps avoid bigger problems down the road.
We accept most insurance plans that offer chiropractic coverage, including many major carriers that provide out-of-network benefits. Our office will verify your specific coverage and explain your benefits before beginning treatment.
Many insurance plans cover chiropractic care because studies show it’s cost-effective compared to other treatments for back and neck pain. You’ll typically have a copay per visit, and some plans require meeting a deductible first.
For those without insurance coverage, payment plans and cash discount options are available. Our focus is on making effective care accessible, not creating financial stress while you’re dealing with physical pain.
While back and neck pain are the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care, our treatment can help with headaches, especially those caused by neck tension or poor posture. Many patients find relief from shoulder pain, hip discomfort, and even some types of arm and leg pain that originate from spinal issues.
Conditions like sciatica, where pain radiates down your leg, often respond well to spinal adjustments that take pressure off compressed nerves. Muscle tension from stress, poor posture, or repetitive activities can also be addressed through chiropractic treatment.
If your condition isn’t appropriate for chiropractic care, we’ll refer you to the right specialist. Our goal is getting you the most effective treatment, whether that’s chiropractic care or another approach that better suits your specific situation.
Our focus is on understanding your specific situation and lifestyle factors that contribute to your pain. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, our treatment plans consider your work demands, commute, daily activities, and personal health goals.
Dr. Roses takes time to explain what’s happening with your condition and why certain treatments are recommended. You’ll understand not just what’s being done, but why it’s necessary and how it fits into your overall recovery plan.
We emphasize getting you back to your normal activities as quickly as possible while teaching you how to prevent problems from returning. This includes practical advice about posture, ergonomics, and lifestyle modifications that fit your real-world situation, not just textbook recommendations.
