Hear from Our Customers
You wake up without that familiar ache in your lower back. You turn your neck freely when backing out of the driveway. You sleep through the night without tossing and turning from muscle tension.
That’s what happens when your spine is properly aligned and your nervous system functions the way it should. Your body stops fighting against itself and starts healing naturally.
No more reaching for pain relievers every few hours. No more avoiding activities you used to love. Just your life back, the way it’s supposed to be.
Dr. Paul Roses has been helping Hudson County residents find relief from chronic pain for over 30 years. He grew up right here in Bayonne and understands the unique challenges facing local working families.
After graduating from Life Chiropractic College in 1981, Dr. Roses returned home with one mission: helping people heal naturally without drugs or surgery. He’s treated everyone from 9/11 first responders to families dealing with everyday aches and pains.
Van Leer residents choose us because we don’t just treat symptoms. We find what’s actually causing your pain and fix it at the source.
Your first visit starts with understanding exactly what’s happening in your body. Dr. Roses examines your spine, reviews your health history, and identifies what’s causing your pain.
Then comes the treatment. Using precise spinal adjustments, we realign your vertebrae to take pressure off pinched nerves and restore proper movement. You might hear some gentle popping sounds – that’s just gas releasing from your joints as they move back into place.
Most patients feel immediate relief, though some experience mild soreness similar to a good workout. Follow-up visits help maintain your progress and prevent future problems. The goal isn’t just temporary relief – it’s getting your body working right so the pain doesn’t come back.

Your chiropractic care includes comprehensive spinal adjustments targeting the root cause of your pain. We treat everything from chronic lower back pain and neck stiffness to muscle tension and headaches.
Van Leer’s working population faces unique challenges – long commutes, desk jobs, and physical labor all take their toll on your spine. Local residents often develop pain from poor posture, repetitive stress, and the daily wear and tear of Hudson County living.
Treatment plans are customized for your specific condition and lifestyle. Whether you’re dealing with a recent injury or years of chronic pain, you get personalized care that fits your schedule and addresses your particular needs.
Most patients experience some level of relief after their first adjustment, though the timeline varies depending on your condition. Acute injuries often respond faster than chronic pain that’s been building for months or years.
For recent injuries like whiplash or a pulled muscle, you might feel significantly better within a few days. Chronic conditions typically require several visits over a few weeks to see substantial improvement.
The key is consistency with your treatment plan. Your body needs time to adapt to proper alignment and heal the underlying tissue damage that’s been causing your pain.
Yes, chiropractic care can be safely modified for patients with arthritis or osteoporosis. We use gentler techniques and lower-force adjustments for patients with these conditions.
Instead of the traditional high-velocity adjustments, we employ spinal mobilization – slow, controlled movements that gradually improve joint function without putting excessive stress on weakened bones or inflamed joints.
Many arthritis patients find that regular chiropractic care actually helps reduce their symptoms by improving joint mobility and reducing inflammation. The key is working with an experienced chiropractor who understands how to adapt treatment for your specific condition.
Your first appointment focuses on understanding your pain and determining the best treatment approach. Dr. Roses will ask about your symptoms, medical history, and how the pain affects your daily life.
The physical examination includes checking your posture, range of motion, and spinal alignment. We’ll test specific areas to pinpoint where the problem originates and may recommend X-rays if needed to get a complete picture.
Once we understand what’s causing your pain, Dr. Roses will explain his findings and recommend a treatment plan. If you’re comfortable proceeding, your first adjustment may happen during this visit. The entire process typically takes 45-60 minutes.
Treatment frequency depends on your specific condition, how long you’ve had the problem, and how your body responds to care. Acute injuries might only need a few visits over 2-3 weeks.
Chronic pain conditions typically require more intensive initial treatment – perhaps 2-3 visits per week for the first few weeks, then gradually reducing as you improve. Most patients see significant improvement within 4-6 weeks.
Once your pain is under control, many patients choose maintenance care – monthly or quarterly visits to prevent problems from returning. We’ll work with you to find the schedule that keeps you feeling your best while fitting your budget and lifestyle.
Absolutely. Many headaches stem from tension in the neck and upper back, especially if you spend long hours at a computer or have poor posture. Chiropractic adjustments can provide significant relief for these types of headaches.
Neck stiffness often results from misaligned vertebrae putting pressure on surrounding muscles and nerves. By restoring proper alignment, chiropractic treatment reduces muscle tension and improves blood flow to the area.
Patients typically notice improved neck mobility within a few treatments. Headache frequency and intensity often decrease as neck function improves. The key is addressing the underlying spinal problems rather than just masking symptoms with medication.
No referral is needed to see us for chiropractic care. Chiropractors are primary healthcare providers, meaning you can schedule directly without going through another doctor first.
However, if you have insurance coverage for chiropractic services, it’s worth checking with your insurance company about any requirements. Some plans may have specific procedures for coverage, though most allow direct access to chiropractic care.
We work with most major insurance plans and can help you understand your benefits. If you’re paying out of pocket, payment plans are available to make care affordable for Van Leer families.
