You wake up without that familiar ache. You bend down to pick up something without hesitation. You sleep through the night without tossing and turning from discomfort.
This isn’t wishful thinking—it’s what happens when your spine functions the way it’s supposed to. When nerve interference gets removed and your body can finally heal itself properly.
Most Bergen Hill residents dealing with neck pain, back pain, or headaches have tried everything else first. Pills that mask symptoms. Physical therapy that provides temporary relief. Even injections that just postpone the real problem.
Dr. Paul Roses has been helping Bergen Hill and Bayonne residents live pain-free since 1981. He grew up right here in Bayonne, went to St. Peter’s Prep, and returned home after chiropractic school with one mission: creating a healthier community, one person at a time.
You’ve probably seen the results in your neighbors. The construction worker who couldn’t lift his arm is back to full strength. The mom with chronic headaches is finally sleeping through the night. The high school athlete recovered from a shoulder injury faster than anyone expected.
Dr. Roses provided on-site care for the heroes who worked at Ground Zero after 9/11. He’s helped babies with serious health conditions experience remarkable improvements. Our approach is simple: remove what’s blocking your body’s natural ability to heal, and let your system do what it was designed to do.
Your first visit starts with understanding exactly what’s causing your pain. Dr. Roses takes a complete health history and performs a thorough examination. If needed, he’ll use advanced Titron Infrared Imaging—a painless scan that takes just seconds—to get a baseline assessment of your condition.
Once he identifies the root cause, you’ll receive your first adjustment using state-of-the-art techniques that are safer and more effective than traditional methods. Many patients notice improvement immediately, but lasting results come from addressing the underlying problem, not just treating symptoms.
You’ll also receive customized “blueprint” exercises designed specifically for your condition. These can be done at home and significantly improve the effectiveness of your adjustments. We’ll coach you on lifestyle changes that prevent your problem from returning—simple adjustments to how you sit, work, or move that make a huge difference.

Your care includes everything needed to get you back to full function. Advanced spinal corrections address the structural problems causing your pain. Corrective exercises strengthen the muscles supporting your spine and prevent future issues.
Bergen Hill residents deal with specific challenges that affect spinal health. Long commutes create neck strain from poor driving posture. Desk jobs in nearby Manhattan lead to forward head posture and rounded shoulders. Even weekend activities—whether it’s playing with kids or working in the yard—can aggravate existing problems when your spine isn’t properly aligned.
We address these local lifestyle factors as part of your treatment plan. You’ll learn proper ergonomics for your workspace, stretches that counteract commuting stress, and movement patterns that protect your spine during daily activities. This comprehensive approach is why our patients see lasting results instead of temporary relief.
For families, our pediatric chiropractic care ensures children develop proper posture from an early age. Sports injury recovery gets young athletes back to peak performance safely. Even babies benefit from gentle adjustments that can help with colic, sleep issues, and developmental concerns.
Many patients experience some relief after their first adjustment, but everyone responds differently based on their condition’s severity and how long they’ve had it. Acute injuries like recent neck strain often improve within a few visits.
Chronic conditions that have developed over months or years typically require more time to fully resolve. Dr. Roses will give you a realistic timeline during your initial consultation based on his examination findings. Most patients notice significant improvement within 2-3 weeks of consistent care.
The key is addressing the underlying cause, not just masking symptoms. This approach takes slightly longer initially but provides lasting results instead of temporary relief that wears off.
Absolutely. Pediatric chiropractic techniques are specifically designed for developing bodies and use extremely gentle pressure—often no more than the pressure you’d use to test a tomato’s ripeness.
Dr. Roses has extensive experience with pediatric care, including work with babies at St. Clare’s Home for Children. He’s seen remarkable improvements in conditions like colic, sleep disturbances, and even developmental delays through gentle spinal adjustments.
Children’s spines are more flexible than adults’, which means they often respond faster to treatment. Birth trauma, falls while learning to walk, and sports injuries can all create spinal misalignments that affect a child’s overall health and development. Early intervention prevents these small problems from becoming major issues later in life.
Chiropractic care focuses on correcting spinal misalignments that interfere with your nervous system’s ability to function properly. When vertebrae are out of position, they can pinch nerves and disrupt communication between your brain and body.
Physical therapy typically addresses muscle weakness and movement patterns after an injury has occurred. While PT is valuable for rehabilitation, chiropractic care gets to the structural root of many problems.
We combine both approaches by providing spinal adjustments to correct alignment issues and prescribing specific exercises to strengthen supporting muscles. This comprehensive method addresses both the immediate problem and prevents recurrence. Many patients find this combination more effective than either treatment alone.
Not necessarily. We use advanced diagnostic techniques, including Titron Infrared Imaging, which provides valuable information about your condition without radiation exposure. This painless scan takes just seconds and helps identify areas of inflammation and nerve interference.
X-rays are only recommended when clinically necessary—such as after trauma, when structural abnormalities are suspected, or if your condition isn’t responding as expected to initial treatment.
Most patients can begin care immediately after their consultation and examination. Dr. Roses has over 30 years of experience identifying spinal problems through hands-on assessment. Our thorough examination process reveals what’s causing your pain and determines the most effective treatment approach without unnecessary testing.
Most major insurance plans include chiropractic coverage, though benefits vary by plan. Our office accepts most insurance providers and will verify your specific coverage before beginning treatment.
Even if your plan has limited chiropractic benefits, many patients find the investment worthwhile when they consider the cost of ongoing pain medication, missed work days, and reduced quality of life. Addressing the root cause of your problem often prevents more expensive interventions down the road.
Our office staff will work with you to understand your coverage and explore payment options that fit your budget. We’ll handle insurance claims and paperwork so you can focus on getting better instead of dealing with administrative hassles.
Yes, many headaches originate from tension and misalignments in the neck and upper spine. When cervical vertebrae are out of position, they can irritate nerves that contribute to head pain, muscle tension, and even migraines.
We address these structural issues through precise spinal adjustments that reduce nerve irritation and improve blood flow to the head and neck region. Patients often notice a significant reduction in headache frequency and intensity within the first few weeks of care.
We also identify lifestyle factors that contribute to cervical spine stress—like computer work posture, pillow height, or stress-related muscle tension. By combining adjustments with ergonomic improvements and stress reduction techniques, many patients find long-term relief from chronic headaches without relying on medication.
