Your head weighs about 10-12 pounds. For every inch it shifts forward from proper alignment, your neck muscles work like they’re carrying an extra 10 pounds. That’s why your shoulders ache after a day at your desk or scrolling through your phone.
Posture correction in Bergen Section, NJ addresses the root cause—not just the pain. You’ll notice your breathing improves because your ribcage isn’t compressed. Your energy comes back because your body isn’t fighting itself all day. You stop reaching for pain relievers every afternoon.
Most people see changes within the first few visits. Your neck moves more freely. The tension headaches ease up. You catch yourself sitting straighter without even thinking about it. That’s what happens when your spine gets the alignment and support it’s been missing.
Dr. Paul Roses has spent years treating patients right here in Hudson County. He knows what Bergen Section residents deal with—long commutes into Manhattan, desk jobs that wreck your neck, and the constant phone use that’s become part of modern life.
We don’t just crack your back and send you on your way. You get a full postural assessment, a clear explanation of what’s actually wrong, and a treatment plan built around your schedule and your goals. No upselling, no confusing medical jargon, no pressure.
You’re not a number here. You’re someone dealing with real discomfort who deserves straightforward answers and effective care.
Your first visit starts with a postural analysis. Dr. Roses looks at how your head sits relative to your shoulders, where your spine curves, and which muscles are overworking to compensate for misalignment. You’ll understand exactly what’s causing your pain.
Treatment combines spinal adjustments to restore proper cervical alignment with targeted exercises that retrain the muscles supporting your neck and upper back. If you’re dealing with text neck symptoms or rounded shoulders from desk work, you’ll get specific stretches for upper crossed syndrome—the muscle imbalance that’s probably making everything worse.
Most treatment plans run 4-10 weeks depending on severity. You’ll come in for adjustments, learn exercises you can do at home, and get guidance on ergonomics for your workspace. The goal isn’t just temporary relief. It’s teaching your body to hold itself correctly so the improvements stick.
You’ll know it’s working when you can sit through a meeting without your neck screaming at you, or when you realize you haven’t had a headache in weeks.

Posture correction in Bergen Section, NJ includes comprehensive spinal adjustments focused on your cervical spine and upper back. These adjustments reduce the compressive forces that build up when your head sits too far forward—forces that can reach 60 pounds of pressure on your neck.
You’ll receive customized exercises targeting the specific postural issues you’re facing. If you have forward head posture from smartphone use, you get cervical strengthening exercises. If rounded shoulders are your problem, you get stretches and movements that open up your chest and activate your upper back muscles.
Bergen Section professionals spend an average of 32 minutes commuting, often hunched in cars or trains. Then you sit at a desk for hours. We understand this pattern because we see it every day in our practice. Your treatment plan accounts for your actual daily routine—not some textbook scenario.
You also get workplace ergonomics coaching. Small changes to your monitor height, keyboard position, or chair setup can make a massive difference in how your body feels by the end of the workday.
Most patients see noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent treatment. Research shows that modified cervical exercises performed for just four weeks can improve forward head posture caused by smartphone use.
Your timeline depends on how severe your postural deviation is and how long you’ve had it. If you’ve been dealing with text neck symptoms for years, your muscles and ligaments have adapted to that position. It takes time to retrain them.
During the first few visits, you’ll likely feel immediate relief from adjustments as pressure comes off compressed nerves. But lasting postural change requires both in-office treatment and home exercises. Patients who do their exercises consistently get results faster—usually within 6-8 weeks instead of 10-12.
Text neck happens when you spend hours with your head tilted down looking at your phone or laptop. The average person spends 2-4 hours daily in this position—that’s 700-1,400 hours per year putting excessive strain on your cervical spine.
When your head tilts forward, the muscles at the back of your neck have to work overtime to keep your head from falling further. Over time, these muscles get tight and fatigued. Meanwhile, the muscles in the front of your neck weaken. This creates the muscle imbalance called upper crossed syndrome.
Chiropractic care addresses both parts of the problem. Spinal adjustments restore proper alignment to your cervical vertebrae, taking pressure off nerves and joints. Targeted exercises strengthen weak muscles and stretch tight ones. Studies show treatment programs are effective in managing neck pain in patients with forward head posture—this isn’t guesswork, it’s evidence-based care.
The goal is to fix the underlying problem so you don’t need ongoing treatment indefinitely. Most patients complete an initial treatment program of 8-12 weeks, then transition to maintenance care or simply continue their home exercises.
Here’s the reality: if you go back to the same habits that caused your posture problems—hunching over your phone for hours, terrible desk ergonomics, zero stretching—the issues will likely return. Posture correction works when you combine professional treatment with lifestyle changes.
Many patients choose to come in for periodic adjustments even after their main symptoms resolve, similar to how you’d get regular dental cleanings. But that’s different from needing treatment because you’re in constant pain. Once your posture improves and you maintain good habits, your body can hold that alignment on its own. You’ll have the tools and knowledge to manage your own postural health.
Posture braces and correctors you find online might provide temporary support, but they don’t address why your posture is poor in the first place. Some can actually make things worse by letting your muscles weaken further because the brace is doing all the work.
Chiropractic posture correction in Bergen Section, NJ focuses on identifying and fixing the root cause. If your spine is misaligned, a brace won’t fix that. If you have muscle imbalances where some muscles are too tight and others too weak, a brace won’t retrain them.
You need spinal adjustments to restore proper alignment, specific exercises to strengthen and stretch the right muscle groups, and education on ergonomics and movement patterns. That’s how you create lasting change. A brace might remind you to sit up straighter, but it won’t give you the strength and mobility to maintain good posture naturally throughout your day. Real correction requires active treatment, not passive support.
Yes, especially if your headaches start at the base of your skull or in your temples. Forward head posture creates sustained pressure on the nerves and blood vessels in your neck, which commonly triggers tension headaches and migraines.
When your head sits too far forward, the muscles at the base of your skull stay constantly contracted trying to hold your head up. This creates trigger points that refer pain into your head. You might also experience restricted breathing patterns because your ribcage can’t expand fully when your shoulders are rounded forward.
Posture correction treatment releases this tension through spinal adjustments and targeted muscle work. As your head returns to proper alignment over your shoulders, those overworked muscles can finally relax. Most patients notice their headache frequency and intensity decrease within the first few weeks of treatment. Some stop getting headaches altogether once their posture stabilizes. It’s not magic—it’s removing the mechanical stress that was causing the pain in the first place.
Many insurance plans cover chiropractic care, including treatment for postural issues and related neck pain. Coverage varies significantly depending on your specific plan, so you’ll need to check your benefits or call us to verify.
Most plans that include chiropractic coverage will pay for treatment when it’s medically necessary—meaning you have symptoms like neck pain, headaches, or restricted mobility caused by postural problems. They typically won’t cover care that’s purely preventive or wellness-focused.
Our office can help you understand your coverage before you start treatment. We’ll verify your benefits and let you know what your out-of-pocket costs will be. If you don’t have coverage or your plan has high deductibles, ask about payment plans or package pricing. The cost of addressing your posture problems now is usually far less than dealing with chronic pain, medications, or more invasive treatments down the road.
