You’re dealing with pain that’s keeping you off the field, out of the gym, or stuck on the sidelines. Maybe you’ve tried rest, ice, and over-the-counter meds. Maybe you’ve even seen another provider who told you to just “take it easy” for a few weeks. But the pain keeps coming back.
Here’s what changes when you address the actual problem. Your spine realigns. Tension releases. Inflammation drops. Your joints stop screaming every time you move. You start sleeping better because you’re not waking up in pain. You can bend down, put on your shoes, walk without limping.
And then the bigger stuff happens. You get back to practice. You finish a workout without compensating. You play with your kids again. You stop wondering if this injury is going to define the rest of your year—or your athletic career.
That’s not hype. That’s what happens when your body gets the right environment to heal itself, without drugs masking symptoms or surgery as the only option.
Dr. Paul Roses has been treating sports injuries in Hudson County since 1981. That’s over 40 years of working with athletes at every level—from weekend warriors to club players to people who just want to stay active without constant pain.
He’s not interested in quick fixes or temporary relief. His approach focuses on helping your body heal the way it’s designed to, using advanced chiropractic techniques that are safer and more effective than they’ve ever been. No drugs. No invasive procedures. Just targeted care that gets to the root of what’s causing your pain.
Harbor Place and the surrounding Bayonne area have a strong community of active people—gym-goers, youth sports families, recreational athletes. We understand what it’s like to be sidelined by an injury that won’t quit, and we’ve built our practice around getting people back to the activities that matter to them.
First, you’ll get a full assessment. That means baseline imaging with Titron Infrared Imaging and x-rays if needed. We don’t guess—we look at what’s actually happening in your body so we know exactly where the problem is.
Then comes the adjustment. This isn’t about cracking your back and sending you on your way. It’s precise, targeted work that realigns your spine, reduces nerve interference, and gives your body the chance to start healing. Most patients notice a difference after just a few sessions—some even after the first one.
You’ll also get a personalized exercise plan. These aren’t generic stretches you could find online. They’re specific to your injury, your body, and your goals. You can do them at home, and they’re designed to strengthen the areas that need support so you’re not just recovering—you’re preventing the next injury too.
Follow-up visits track your progress. You’re not locked into endless appointments. The goal is to get you better and keep you better, not to keep you coming back forever.

When you come in for sports injury treatment in Harbor Place, NJ, you’re getting more than a standard chiropractic visit. You’re getting a full plan built around your specific injury and your goals.
That includes spinal adjustments to realign your body and reduce pain. It includes soft tissue work to address inflammation and tension in the muscles and joints. It includes that personalized exercise blueprint so you’re actively participating in your own recovery.
Hudson County has a growing number of athletes—youth sports are booming, and more adults are staying active longer. That means more overuse injuries, more repetitive stress, more people dealing with pain that limits what they can do. We’ve seen it all: herniated discs, chronic back pain, shoulder issues, knee problems. We’ve helped patients who couldn’t walk without limping get back to normal movement in a matter of weeks.
You also get access to preventive care. Regular checkups can catch small issues before they become big ones. If you’re training hard or playing competitively, that kind of maintenance can be the difference between a full season and sitting out halfway through.
It depends on the injury, how long you’ve had it, and how your body responds. Some patients feel significantly better after three visits. Others need a few weeks of consistent treatment to see full results.
What matters more than the timeline is whether you’re actually healing or just masking symptoms. Chiropractic care focuses on fixing the underlying issue—realigning your spine, reducing nerve interference, improving joint function. That takes a little time, but it’s also why the results tend to last.
If you’ve been dealing with pain for months or even years, don’t expect it to disappear overnight. But you should notice progress early—less pain, better range of motion, easier movement. That’s how you know it’s working.
In many cases, yes. A lot of people are told they need surgery when their body just needs the right conditions to heal. Chiropractic care gives your body that chance without going under the knife.
Surgery should be a last resort, not the first option. Up to half of spinal surgery patients experience a return of symptoms, and some end up needing additional surgeries. That’s called Failed Back Surgery Syndrome, and it’s more common than most people realize.
Chiropractic care is non-invasive, drug-free, and focused on helping your body heal itself. If you’re facing a surgery recommendation, it’s worth getting a second opinion from someone who specializes in conservative treatment. You might be surprised at what’s possible without surgery.
We treat a wide range of sports injuries: back pain, neck pain, shoulder issues, knee problems, hip pain, sprains, strains, overuse injuries, and repetitive stress injuries. If it involves your musculoskeletal system—your bones, joints, muscles, ligaments—it’s likely something chiropractic care can address.
Common injuries include herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, rotator cuff issues, runner’s knee, tennis elbow, and general joint pain. These are the kinds of injuries that keep athletes on the bench and active people stuck on the couch.
The key is that chiropractic care doesn’t just treat the pain. It addresses the root cause—whether that’s a misalignment, nerve interference, or muscle imbalance. That’s why the results tend to be more lasting than just taking painkillers or resting for a few weeks.
Yes. Chiropractic care is one of the safest treatment options available for sports injuries. It’s non-invasive, drug-free, and focused on working with your body’s natural ability to heal.
Because nerves carry signals from your brain to every part of your body, chiropractic care has limitless applications. When your spine is aligned and your nervous system is functioning properly, your whole body works better. That’s not just good for recovery—it’s good for performance too.
Athletes at every level use chiropractic care, from weekend warriors to professional players. It helps with recovery, injury prevention, and overall performance. If you’re worried about safety, compare it to the alternatives: surgery has risks, and long-term medication use comes with side effects. Chiropractic care avoids both.
No. You don’t need a referral to see a chiropractor in New Jersey. You can schedule an appointment directly and start treatment right away.
That’s important if you’re dealing with an acute injury or chronic pain that’s affecting your daily life. You don’t have to wait for a referral or go through multiple appointments with other providers before you can get help.
Most insurance plans cover chiropractic care, and we also offer flexible payment programs if your coverage is limited. It’s worth calling ahead to confirm what your plan covers, but don’t let insurance be the reason you stay in pain. There are options.
Your first visit starts with a full assessment. Dr. Roses will ask about your injury—when it started, what makes it worse, what you’ve already tried. He’ll also do a physical exam and may use imaging like x-rays or infrared scans to see what’s actually going on inside.
Once he understands the problem, he’ll explain what he found and walk you through a treatment plan. That plan will include adjustments, any necessary soft tissue work, and exercises you can do at home to support your recovery.
You might get your first adjustment during that visit, or it might happen at the next appointment depending on what’s needed. Either way, you’ll leave with a clear understanding of what’s causing your pain and what it’s going to take to fix it. No guessing. No vague answers. Just a real plan.
