You know that moment when you wake up and your back doesn’t scream at you first thing in the morning. When you can bend over to tie your shoes without wincing. When you can sleep through the night without tossing and turning to find a position that doesn’t hurt.
That’s what we’re talking about here. Not just masking the pain with pills that wear off in a few hours. Real relief that lets you get back to the things you actually want to do.
Research shows that people who see a chiropractor first for their back pain have 90% lower odds of needing opioids. They also save 20-40% on their total healthcare costs compared to starting with traditional medical care. More importantly, they get their lives back faster.
Dr. Paul Roses has been helping people in Hudson County live pain-free since 1981. That’s over 30 years of seeing what works and what doesn’t when it comes to back pain, neck stiffness, and the kind of muscle tension that makes everyday tasks feel impossible.
He’s not just another chiropractor who moved to the area last year. Dr. Roses grew up in Bayonne, went to St. Peter’s Prep, and chose to come back home to serve his community. He’s seen three generations of families, helped construction workers get back on the job, and kept local teachers in their classrooms instead of on disability.
His patients consistently rate him 4.63 out of 5 stars, with a perfect 5.0 rating for bedside manner. More telling? He calls his patients after their adjustments to check how they’re feeling. That’s the kind of care you get when your doctor actually lives in your neighborhood.
Your first visit starts with Dr. Roses listening to what’s actually going on with your body. Not just where it hurts, but how long it’s been hurting, what makes it worse, and what you’ve already tried. He’ll do a thorough examination to pinpoint exactly what’s causing your pain.
Then comes the adjustment. Dr. Roses uses his hands to carefully move your spine back into proper alignment, removing the pressure on your nerves that’s been causing your pain. You might hear some pops or cracks – that’s completely normal and actually a good sign that things are moving back where they belong.
Most people feel some relief right after their first adjustment. But here’s the thing about chiropractic care: it works best when you give your body time to heal properly. Dr. Roses will recommend a treatment plan based on your specific condition, usually starting with more frequent visits that taper off as you improve. The goal isn’t to keep you coming forever – it’s to get you better and keep you that way.

Every treatment at Roses Chiropractic includes a comprehensive approach to your specific condition. We don’t just adjust your spine and send you on your way. You’ll get education about what’s causing your pain, exercises you can do at home to speed your recovery, and practical advice about how to prevent the problem from coming back.
Living in The Island means you’re probably dealing with some unique challenges. Maybe you’re commuting into Manhattan every day, hunched over in a car or train seat. Maybe you’re working construction or in one of the warehouses along the waterfront. We understand how your daily life contributes to your pain, and we tailor our treatment accordingly.
The treatment itself uses state-of-the-art chiropractic techniques, but the philosophy is simple: your body has an incredible ability to heal itself when the interference is removed. Our job is to remove that interference – usually misaligned vertebrae putting pressure on your nerves – so your body can do what it does best.
Most patients feel some improvement after their first adjustment, but lasting results typically develop over several weeks. The timeline depends on how long you’ve had the problem, your overall health, and how well you follow the treatment plan.
Acute injuries – like you threw out your back last week – often respond quickly, sometimes within a few visits. Chronic conditions that have been building up for months or years usually take longer to fully resolve. Dr. Roses will give you a realistic expectation during your first visit based on his examination findings.
The key is consistency in the beginning. Your spine has been out of alignment for a while, and it takes time to retrain those joints and muscles to stay in their proper position.
Chiropractic care is one of the safest forms of healthcare available. Serious complications are extremely rare – much rarer than the side effects from common pain medications or the risks associated with surgery.
Dr. Roses has been performing spinal adjustments for over 30 years without a single serious incident. He’s trained to recognize when chiropractic care isn’t appropriate for a particular condition and will refer you to the right specialist if needed.
Neck adjustments, when performed by a licensed chiropractor, are very safe. The “popping” sound you hear is just gas bubbles being released from the joint – the same thing that happens when you crack your knuckles. Research shows that the risk of stroke from neck manipulation is about the same as the risk from taking a common over-the-counter pain reliever.
Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover chiropractic care for spinal conditions. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before you start treatment.
Even if your insurance has a copay or deductible, chiropractic care often costs less out-of-pocket than ongoing medical treatment. Studies show that people who start with chiropractic care spend 20-40% less on their total healthcare costs compared to those who start with medical care.
Our office staff will handle all the insurance paperwork for you, so you don’t have to worry about dealing with claims and pre-authorizations. We’ll also let you know upfront what your expected costs will be.
No, you don’t need a referral to see Dr. Roses. New Jersey allows direct access to chiropractic care, which means you can schedule an appointment whenever you’re experiencing back pain, neck pain, or related problems.
In fact, research shows that people who see a chiropractor as their first provider for low back pain have better outcomes and lower healthcare costs than those who start with other types of care. The American College of Physicians now recommends trying non-drug treatments like chiropractic care before moving to medications or more invasive procedures.
That said, Dr. Roses works well with other healthcare providers and will communicate with your medical doctor if needed. He believes in a team approach to healthcare and won’t hesitate to refer you to another specialist if your condition requires additional treatment.
Your first appointment will take about 45 minutes to an hour. Dr. Roses will start by taking a detailed history of your current problem, your overall health, and any previous injuries or treatments you’ve had.
Next comes the physical examination. He’ll check your posture, range of motion, and perform specific tests to pinpoint exactly what’s causing your pain. He might also check your reflexes and do some basic neurological tests to make sure there are no serious underlying problems.
If Dr. Roses determines that chiropractic care is right for your condition, he’ll usually perform your first adjustment during that same visit. He’ll explain exactly what he’s doing and why, so you know what to expect. Most people are surprised by how gentle and precise the treatment actually is.
While both can help you feel better temporarily, chiropractic care addresses the underlying structural problems that cause your pain, not just the muscle tension that results from those problems.
A massage therapist works on your muscles and soft tissues, which can definitely provide relief and help you relax. But if your pain is coming from misaligned vertebrae putting pressure on your nerves, massage alone won’t fix the root cause.
We focus on correcting the spinal alignment issues that are creating the muscle tension in the first place. Once your spine is properly aligned, your muscles can relax naturally and stay relaxed. That’s why our patients often experience longer-lasting relief than those who rely solely on massage therapy.
