You’re not looking for temporary relief. You want to get back to training, competing, and performing without worrying about re-injury or masking pain with medication.
That’s what our chiropractic care for sports injuries in Hudson Heights, NJ does differently. Instead of just treating symptoms, we focus on realigning your spine and joints to reduce nerve interference and inflammation. This means your body can heal the way it’s supposed to—faster, without drugs, and with less risk of the same injury happening again.
Most athletes we work with notice reduced pain within the first few visits. But more importantly, they regain range of motion, build strength in vulnerable areas, and learn how to move in ways that protect them long-term. Whether you’re a high school athlete trying to finish the season strong or a weekend warrior who refuses to give up your sport, the goal is the same: full recovery and better performance than before you got hurt.
Dr. Paul Roses has been practicing chiropractic care in Hudson County for over 30 years. He’s not new to this. He grew up in Bayonne, went to St. Peter’s Prep, and came back after earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree to serve the community he knows.
He’s treated everyone from high school football players to first responders after 9/11. His approach is straightforward: no unnecessary treatments, no pushing drugs or surgery, just focused care that gets you moving again. If you’re in Hudson Heights dealing with a sports injury, you’re working with someone who’s seen it all and knows how to help athletes recover the right way.
First, we assess what’s actually wrong. That means understanding the injury, how it happened, and what’s keeping you from healing. We don’t guess—we evaluate your spine, joints, range of motion, and any areas of inflammation or misalignment.
Then we build a treatment plan specific to your injury and your goals. This usually involves manual adjustments to realign your spine and joints, which reduces nerve interference and lets your body start healing naturally. Depending on what you need, we may also use Class IV laser therapy to speed up tissue repair and reduce inflammation at a cellular level.
Throughout your recovery, we’re also coaching you on movement patterns, exercises, and habits that prevent the same injury from happening again. You’re not just getting treated—you’re learning how to protect yourself. Most athletes start feeling better within a few sessions, but full recovery depends on the severity of the injury and how well you follow the plan.
Ready to get started?
Sports injuries are common in Hudson County. High school athletes here deal with sprains, strains, and concussions at rates that mirror national trends—over 2 injuries per 1,000 athletic events. Football has the highest injury rate, but basketball, soccer, and baseball aren’t far behind. The head, face, knees, and ankles get hit the most.
When you’re injured, the default is often the ER or urgent care. But unless it’s a fracture or something that needs imaging, you’re looking at long waits, high costs, and a prescription for painkillers. That’s not a recovery plan—that’s symptom management.
Our chiropractic care for sports injuries in Hudson Heights, NJ gives you another option. It’s non-invasive, drug-free, and focused on getting you back to full function. We treat sprains, strains, joint pain, back injuries, shoulder problems, and overuse injuries. We also work with athletes who want to improve performance and prevent future injuries, not just recover from current ones. You get personalized treatment, not a one-size-fits-all approach, and you’re not sitting in a waiting room for hours.
It depends on the injury. Minor sprains or strains might respond in a week or two with consistent treatment. More serious injuries—like ligament damage, chronic overuse issues, or misalignments that have been ignored for months—can take several weeks to fully resolve.
What matters more than the timeline is whether you’re actually healing or just covering up the pain. Our chiropractic care focuses on correcting the underlying problem, not just making you feel better temporarily. That means realigning joints, reducing inflammation, and restoring proper movement patterns.
Most athletes notice improvement within the first few visits. Pain decreases, range of motion improves, and you start moving more naturally. But rushing back too soon is how re-injury happens. We’ll tell you when you’re ready to return to full activity, and we’ll give you exercises and strategies to keep the injury from coming back.
Yes, and that’s one of the biggest reasons professional teams and Olympic athletes use chiropractors regularly. When your spine and joints are properly aligned, your body moves more efficiently. That reduces stress on muscles, ligaments, and tendons, which means less wear and tear over time.
We also assess how you move and identify patterns that put you at risk. Maybe you favor one side, or your hips are out of alignment, or you’re compensating for an old injury without realizing it. Those imbalances lead to new injuries down the road.
By addressing those issues before they become problems, you’re not just recovering—you’re building a stronger, more resilient body. We’ll also give you specific exercises and stretches that target your weak points. This isn’t generic advice. It’s based on your body, your sport, and the demands you’re putting on yourself. Prevention is always easier than recovery.
Absolutely. Chiropractic care is non-invasive and drug-free, which makes it one of the safest treatment options for young athletes. The techniques we use are gentle and adjusted based on age, size, and the specific injury.
Youth athletes are still growing, which means their bodies respond differently to treatment than adults. But it also means they heal faster when the injury is addressed correctly. Ignoring pain or relying on over-the-counter medications can lead to compensations that affect their development and increase the risk of more serious injuries later.
Parents in Hudson Heights bring their kids in for everything from growing pains to sports-related strains and overuse injuries. We take the time to explain what’s happening, what we’re doing, and how to prevent it from happening again. If your child is dealing with a sports injury, our chiropractic care gives them a real path to recovery without the risks that come with medication or invasive procedures.
We treat the full range of sports injuries that athletes in Hudson Heights, NJ deal with. That includes sprains and strains, which make up the majority of sports injuries. Ankles, knees, wrists, and shoulders are the most common areas.
We also work with athletes recovering from back pain, neck pain, hip misalignment, and overuse injuries like tendonitis or runner’s knee. If you’ve been told you have a pinched nerve, sciatica, or joint inflammation, our chiropractic adjustments can relieve pressure and restore normal function.
Beyond acute injuries, we help athletes who are dealing with chronic pain or performance issues. Maybe you’re not injured, but something feels off. Your range of motion isn’t what it used to be, or you’re compensating in ways that slow you down. Those are signs of underlying misalignment or muscle imbalance, and they’re worth addressing before they turn into bigger problems. We also treat concussion-related symptoms when they involve neck or spinal issues.
No. You can schedule an appointment directly without a referral from another doctor. Chiropractors are primary care providers for musculoskeletal issues, which means you don’t need permission to get treatment.
That said, if you’re currently working with a physical therapist, orthopedic specialist, or sports medicine doctor, our chiropractic care can complement what they’re doing. A lot of athletes use a combination of treatments depending on the injury. We’re happy to coordinate with other providers if that’s what makes sense for your recovery.
If you’re not sure whether our chiropractic care is right for your injury, just call and describe what’s going on. We’ll let you know if we can help or if you need to see someone else first. There’s no pressure, no sales pitch—just honest guidance based on 30 years of treating athletes in Hudson County.
Both help with recovery, but they approach it differently. Physical therapy focuses on strengthening muscles, improving flexibility, and retraining movement patterns through exercises and stretches. Our chiropractic care focuses on realigning the spine and joints to remove nerve interference and restore proper function.
In a lot of cases, athletes benefit from both. Our chiropractic adjustments correct the structural issues that are causing pain or limiting movement. Physical therapy then builds strength and endurance in those areas so the injury doesn’t come back.
The main difference is that we can perform spinal adjustments, which physical therapists can’t. If your injury involves misalignment, nerve compression, or joint dysfunction, our chiropractic care addresses that directly. If you need rehab exercises and conditioning after the adjustment, PT can help with that. Many athletes start with our chiropractic care to get the alignment and pain relief, then move into strengthening work as they recover.
