You’re not looking for someone to tell you to rest for six weeks. You already know that’s not realistic, and honestly, prolonged rest often does more harm than good for active bodies.
What you need is someone who understands that every day away from your sport feels like a setback. Someone who can help you recover faster without relying on medications that mask pain or invasive procedures that create even longer downtime.
When you treat sports injuries in New Durham, NJ with chiropractic care, you’re addressing the actual problem—misalignment, restricted movement, nerve pressure—not just numbing the symptoms. That means you get back to peak performance faster, with a lower risk of re-injury, and without the side effects that come with other treatment routes.
You’ll notice improved range of motion, reduced pain, and better overall function. Not in theory. In practice. Because your body was built to heal itself when given the right support.
We’ve been treating athletes and active individuals in Hudson County for over 30 years. That’s not a marketing claim—it’s just the reality of showing up, doing the work, and earning trust one adjustment at a time.
Dr. Roses has treated everyone from weekend warriors to high school athletes to first responders who can’t afford to be sidelined. During the 9/11 rescue operations, he provided on-site chiropractic care for fire and police heroes working around the clock. He knows what it means to help people who need to perform under pressure.
New Durham and the surrounding Hudson County area have a strong athletic culture. New Jersey ranks 11th nationally for likelihood of children becoming professional athletes, with particularly high rankings in soccer, football, and tennis. That means the kids playing in local leagues today are serious about their sports—and they need serious care when injuries happen.
First, you’ll sit down for a real conversation. Not a rushed intake form and a five-minute consult. Dr. Roses will ask about your injury, your sport, your goals, and what’s been tried already. He needs to understand what’s actually going on before he can help.
Then comes the assessment. He’ll evaluate your alignment, range of motion, and any areas of restricted movement or nerve interference. This isn’t guesswork—it’s a methodical process to identify the root cause of your pain or limitation.
From there, you’ll get a personalized treatment plan. That might include chiropractic adjustments to realign your spine and joints, soft tissue work to address muscle strains, and corrective exercises to strengthen vulnerable areas. The goal isn’t just to get you out of pain—it’s to get you back to full function and prevent the same injury from happening again.
Most patients notice improvement quickly. Some feel relief after the first visit. Others take a few sessions to see significant change. Either way, you’ll know exactly what to expect and how long recovery should take.

You’re getting a treatment approach that’s used by 100% of NFL teams and 100% of MLB teams. Professional athletes don’t use chiropractors because it’s trendy—they use them because it works and keeps them on the field.
Our chiropractic care for sports injuries in New Durham, NJ focuses on restoring proper alignment, reducing nerve pressure, and improving joint and muscle function. That means faster recovery from common injuries like sprains, strains, tendonitis, and overuse injuries affecting the back, neck, knees, shoulders, and ankles.
Research published in BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders shows that routine chiropractic treatment effectively reduces lower limb muscle strains and missed matches due to non-contact knee injuries. It’s not alternative medicine—it’s evidence-based care that’s been proven to work for athletes at every level.
Hudson County has a robust youth sports infrastructure, with most towns featuring individual leagues for baseball, softball, football, basketball, and soccer. That means thousands of young athletes are at risk for sports injuries every season. Over 3.5 million children under 14 are injured annually playing sports nationwide, plus nearly 2 million adults. The need for effective, non-invasive treatment isn’t theoretical—it’s happening in your neighborhood right now.
It depends on the injury, how long you’ve had it, and how well you follow the treatment plan. Most soft tissue injuries like muscle strains or ligament sprains start improving within a few visits, especially if you’re coming in soon after the injury happened.
If you’ve been dealing with chronic pain or compensating for an old injury, it might take longer to fully resolve. Your body has likely developed movement patterns and muscle imbalances that need to be corrected, not just the immediate pain.
Dr. Roses will give you a realistic timeline during your first visit based on what he finds during the assessment. Some athletes are back to training within a week or two. Others need a month or more, depending on severity. Either way, you’ll know what to expect upfront.
Yes, and that’s one of the biggest reasons athletes use chiropractors regularly—not just when they’re hurt. When your spine and joints are properly aligned, your body moves more efficiently. That reduces strain on muscles, ligaments, and tendons, which lowers your injury risk.
Regular adjustments also help identify small issues before they become big problems. Maybe you have a slight restriction in your shoulder that’s forcing your body to compensate. Left unchecked, that compensation could lead to a rotator cuff strain or elbow tendonitis down the road. Catching it early prevents the injury entirely.
Research backs this up. Studies show that athletes receiving routine chiropractic care experience fewer non-contact injuries and miss fewer games due to preventable strains. It’s why 72% of PGA golfers receive chiropractic treatments—they’re not all injured, they’re staying healthy.
The most common injuries are sprains and strains affecting the back, neck, shoulders, knees, and ankles. These happen across almost every sport—running, basketball, football, baseball, soccer, tennis, you name it.
We also treat overuse injuries like tendonitis, IT band syndrome, and repetitive stress injuries that develop over time from training. These are especially common in runners and athletes who do the same movements repeatedly without proper recovery or alignment.
Beyond that, Dr. Roses works with athletes dealing with chronic pain from old injuries that never fully healed. Maybe you sprained your ankle years ago and it still bothers you during certain movements. Chiropractic care can address lingering dysfunction and scar tissue that’s limiting your performance.
Absolutely. Chiropractic care has a significantly lower injury rate than standard primary care—40 injuries per 100,000 visits compared to 153 per 100,000 for primary care. It’s one of the safest treatment options available for sports injuries.
For younger athletes, chiropractic adjustments are modified based on age, size, and the specific injury. Dr. Roses has over 30 years of experience working with patients of all ages, and he understands how to adjust his approach for growing bodies.
Youth athletes in Hudson County are serious about their sports, and many are competing at high levels. Getting proper treatment early helps them recover fully and develop healthy movement patterns that will serve them throughout their athletic careers. Ignoring injuries or masking pain with medication only sets them up for bigger problems later.
No, you don’t need a referral. You can call and schedule an appointment directly. Chiropractors are primary care providers, which means you have direct access without needing to see another doctor first.
That said, if you’re currently working with a physical therapist, orthopedic specialist, or sports medicine doctor, chiropractic care can complement what they’re doing. Many athletes use a combination of treatments to recover faster and more completely.
If you’re unsure whether chiropractic is right for your specific injury, just call and ask. Dr. Roses will have an honest conversation about whether he can help or if you’d be better served elsewhere. The goal is getting you the right care, not just getting you in the door.
Your first visit starts with a conversation. Dr. Roses will ask about your injury—when it happened, what you were doing, what makes it better or worse, and what treatments you’ve already tried. He’ll also want to know about your sport, your training schedule, and your goals.
Then he’ll perform a physical assessment. That includes checking your posture, range of motion, joint alignment, and any areas of tenderness or restriction. He’s looking for the root cause of your pain, not just the symptoms.
After the assessment, he’ll explain what he found and recommend a treatment plan. If chiropractic care is a good fit, he’ll often start treatment during that first visit. If not, he’ll point you in the right direction. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what’s wrong, how long recovery should take, and what you need to do to get back to your sport.
