You know that moment when you realize you haven’t thought about your back all day? That’s what real relief feels like. Not the temporary numbness from pills or the constant worry about when pain will return.
With proper chiropractic treatment, your spine gets back to doing what it’s supposed to do—supporting you without complaint. Your mornings start without that familiar stiffness. You bend down to pick things up without hesitation.
The research backs this up too. Studies consistently show that people who see a chiropractor first end up with lower healthcare costs and better outcomes than those who start with other treatments. Because when you fix the actual problem instead of masking it, your body can finally heal the way it’s meant to.
Dr. Paul Roses has been practicing chiropractic care since 1981, back when most people didn’t even know what a chiropractor was. He’s seen every type of back problem you can imagine—and quite a few you probably can’t.
What sets us apart isn’t just experience, though that matters. It’s our approach. We don’t believe in keeping you coming forever or selling you on treatments you don’t need.
The goal is simple: get you out of pain, teach you how to stay that way, and get you back to living your life. In Droyer’s Point and the surrounding Hudson County area, that straightforward approach has earned us patients who’ve been coming for years—not because they have to, but because they trust us to keep them moving well.
First, we figure out what’s actually wrong. Not just where it hurts, but why it hurts. Dr. Roses uses advanced diagnostic tools, including thermal imaging that shows exactly where nerve interference is happening. If needed, x-rays give us the complete picture.
Then comes the adjustment itself. Using precise, gentle techniques—either hands-on or with specialized instruments—misaligned vertebrae get moved back where they belong. You might hear that small “pop” sound, but you don’t have to. The treatment works either way.
After that, you’ll learn specific exercises designed for your particular problem. These aren’t generic stretches you could find online. They’re targeted movements that reinforce the adjustment and help prevent the same issue from coming back. Most people start feeling different right away, but the real changes happen over the next few days as your body adjusts to being properly aligned again.

Beyond the core chiropractic adjustments, you get a complete approach to spinal health. The thermal imaging baseline assessment takes just seconds but reveals problems you might not even feel yet. Corrective exercises are tailored specifically to your condition—not one-size-fits-all routines.
Lifestyle coaching helps you understand which daily activities might be sabotaging your progress. Simple changes in how you sit, sleep, or lift things can make the difference between getting better and staying stuck in the same pain cycle.
For Droyer’s Point residents dealing with the physical demands of commuting to New York or working in Hudson County’s industrial areas, our comprehensive approach addresses the real-world factors that contribute to back and neck problems. The focus isn’t just getting you comfortable for your next appointment—it’s keeping you comfortable between appointments and long after your treatment is complete.
Most patients notice some improvement after their first adjustment, but everyone’s timeline is different. Some people walk out feeling dramatically better—we’ve had patients go from limping to walking normally after just three visits.
The acute pain often starts subsiding within the first week, but the real healing happens over several weeks as your spine stabilizes in its proper position. Think of it like physical therapy for your spine—the initial relief comes fast, but building lasting stability takes time.
Your specific timeline depends on factors like how long you’ve had the problem, your overall health, and whether you follow through with the corrective exercises. Dr. Roses will give you a realistic expectation based on your individual situation during your first visit.
Yes, when performed by an experienced chiropractor like Dr. Roses, chiropractic care is often one of the safest and most effective treatments for herniated discs. The key is proper diagnosis and technique selection.
We use gentle, precise adjustments that can actually help relieve pressure on herniated discs rather than aggravate them. Many patients with disc problems find significant relief without surgery—in fact, research shows that conservative chiropractic treatment often produces results comparable to surgical intervention, but without the risks and recovery time.
However, every case is different. During your initial consultation, Dr. Roses will review your specific condition, possibly including imaging if necessary, to determine the safest and most effective approach for your particular disc problem. Some techniques work better than others depending on the location and severity of the herniation.
No, you don’t need a referral to see Dr. Roses. Chiropractors are primary healthcare providers, which means you can schedule directly without going through your medical doctor first.
In fact, many insurance plans actually encourage patients to try conservative treatments like chiropractic care before more expensive interventions. Some plans even offer better coverage when you see a chiropractor first rather than starting with pain medications or imaging.
That said, if you’re currently under medical care for your condition, it’s always smart to let your other healthcare providers know you’re adding chiropractic treatment. We work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals when needed and can provide reports to your medical doctor if requested. The goal is getting you better, regardless of which type of provider helps make that happen.
Pain medication masks symptoms—chiropractic care addresses the underlying cause. When you take pills for back pain, you’re essentially turning down the volume on your body’s alarm system without fixing what’s triggering the alarm.
Chiropractic adjustments restore proper movement and alignment to spinal joints that aren’t functioning correctly. When your spine moves properly, the pressure comes off irritated nerves, inflammation reduces naturally, and your body can heal itself the way it’s designed to.
The research is clear on this: patients who start with chiropractic care typically have better long-term outcomes and lower overall healthcare costs than those who begin with medication. Plus, you avoid the side effects and potential dependency issues that come with long-term pain medication use. Many patients find they can reduce or eliminate their pain medications once their spine is functioning properly again.
Treatment frequency depends entirely on your specific condition and how your body responds. In the beginning, you might need adjustments 2-3 times per week to get things moving in the right direction. As you improve, visits typically spread out to once a week, then every other week.
We don’t believe in keeping patients on indefinite treatment schedules. The goal is always to get you to the point where you need minimal care to maintain your progress. Some people choose to continue with monthly maintenance visits, while others only come in when they feel they need a tune-up.
Your individual treatment plan will be based on factors like how long you’ve had the problem, your age, your activity level, and how well you follow through with the corrective exercises. Dr. Roses will be upfront about what to expect and will adjust the frequency based on your actual progress, not some predetermined schedule.
Absolutely. Many headaches actually originate from problems in the neck and upper spine. When vertebrae in your cervical spine are misaligned or not moving properly, they can irritate nerves that contribute to headache patterns.
Neck stiffness is often one of the first signs that your cervical spine needs attention. Whether it’s from sleeping wrong, poor posture at work, or stress-related muscle tension, chiropractic adjustments can restore normal movement and reduce the muscle guarding that creates that locked-up feeling.
We’ve successfully treated patients whose headaches disappeared completely after addressing their spinal alignment issues. The key is identifying whether your headaches have a mechanical component—meaning they’re related to how your neck and upper back are functioning. A thorough examination can determine if chiropractic care is likely to help your specific type of headache and neck stiffness.
