You wake up without that nagging back pain. Your neck moves freely when you check blind spots. You can play with your kids without wincing or keep up with your workout routine without limitation.
That’s what happens when your spine works the way it should. When those compressed nerves get the space they need and your body remembers how to heal itself naturally.
Most people in St. Pete don’t realize how much better they could feel until they experience what proper spinal alignment actually does for their energy, sleep, and daily comfort.
Dr. Paul Roses has been serving families throughout Hudson County since graduating from Life Chiropractic College in 1981. He grew up right here in Bayonne, understanding exactly what local residents deal with daily.
Whether it’s construction workers with chronic back strain, office professionals with neck tension, or young athletes pushing their limits, we’ve seen it all. Our approach stays simple: move the bone away from the nerve, and let your body do what it does best.
The proof is in three decades of St. Pete residents getting back to their lives faster, without relying on medications that mask problems instead of solving them.
Your first visit starts with understanding exactly what’s causing your pain. Dr. Roses takes time to listen to your specific situation, examines how your spine moves, and identifies where the real problem lies.
The adjustment itself is precise and gentle. Using proven techniques refined over 30 years, we correct the misalignment that’s interfering with your nervous system. Most patients feel immediate relief, though lasting results build over the recommended treatment plan.
You’ll also receive specific exercises and lifestyle guidance to support your recovery and prevent future problems. The goal isn’t just temporary relief—it’s getting your body functioning optimally so you stay pain-free long-term.

From pediatric adjustments for newborns to sports injury recovery for weekend warriors, we address the full spectrum of spinal health needs in St. Pete. Corrective exercises help strengthen supporting muscles while posture correction tackles the root cause of many modern pain problems.
St. Pete residents deal with unique challenges—from the physical demands of Hudson County’s industrial jobs to the postural stress of commuting into Manhattan. Spinal traction therapy helps decompress discs damaged by repetitive stress, while targeted neck pain relief addresses the tension that builds from our increasingly digital lifestyles.
We also specialize in pediatric chiropractic care, recognizing that spinal health starts early. Many childhood issues—from colic to growing pains—respond remarkably well to gentle chiropractic intervention, setting kids up for healthier development.
Most patients experience some level of relief after their first adjustment, though this varies depending on how long you’ve had the problem and its underlying cause. Acute injuries often respond within a few visits, while chronic conditions that have developed over months or years typically require a more comprehensive treatment plan.
Dr. Roses will give you a realistic timeline during your initial consultation based on his examination findings. Many St. Pete patients notice improved sleep and reduced morning stiffness within the first week, with more significant functional improvements building over 2-4 weeks of consistent care.
The key is following through with the recommended treatment schedule rather than stopping when you first feel better—this ensures the correction holds and prevents the problem from returning.
Pediatric chiropractic care is extremely safe when performed by an experienced practitioner like Dr. Roses. The techniques we use for children are much gentler than adult adjustments—often no more pressure than you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato.
Many common childhood issues stem from spinal misalignments that occur during birth or from normal childhood activities like learning to walk, playing sports, or even sleeping in awkward positions. Gentle corrections can address problems like recurring ear infections, colic, difficulty sleeping, and growing pains.
Dr. Roses has been providing pediatric care for over 30 years and understands how children’s developing spines respond differently than adult spines. Parents in St. Pete often bring their children for regular check-ups to support healthy development and catch small problems before they become bigger issues.
Your initial appointment begins with a detailed discussion about your pain, when it started, what makes it better or worse, and how it’s affecting your daily activities. Dr. Roses will also review your health history, including any previous injuries, surgeries, or ongoing medical conditions.
The physical examination includes checking your posture, range of motion, reflexes, and specific orthopedic and neurological tests to pinpoint the exact source of your problem. Depending on your condition, X-rays may be recommended to get a clearer picture of your spinal structure.
Once the examination is complete, Dr. Roses will explain his findings in plain language, discuss your treatment options, and provide a realistic timeline for recovery. If you’re a good candidate for chiropractic care, your first adjustment may happen during this same visit. The entire process typically takes 45-60 minutes.
Most insurance plans provide coverage for chiropractic care, though the specific benefits vary by plan. Our office works with a wide range of insurance providers and will verify your coverage before beginning treatment so you understand exactly what your out-of-pocket costs will be.
Many plans require a referral from your primary care physician, while others allow you to see a chiropractor directly. Some plans have annual visit limits or require pre-authorization for certain treatments. Our staff handles all the insurance paperwork and communication to make the process as smooth as possible for you.
For patients without insurance or those whose plans don’t cover chiropractic care, we offer affordable cash payment options. Dr. Roses believes everyone deserves access to drug-free pain relief, regardless of their insurance situation.
Absolutely. Sports injuries often involve more than just the obvious injury site—compensatory movement patterns and muscle imbalances can affect your entire kinetic chain. We address not just the immediate injury but also the underlying biomechanical issues that may have contributed to it.
Common sports injuries like pulled hamstrings, shoulder impingement, and ankle sprains often have spinal components that traditional sports medicine misses. Proper spinal alignment ensures optimal nerve function to all your muscles, improving coordination, strength, and reaction time.
Many St. Pete athletes use chiropractic care preventively to maintain peak performance and reduce injury risk. Regular adjustments keep joints moving properly, muscles balanced, and the nervous system functioning at its best—giving you every advantage whether you’re training for a marathon or just trying to keep up with weekend softball.
Dr. Roses focuses on the fundamental principle that your body has an innate ability to heal itself when the nervous system functions properly. Rather than chasing symptoms with complex treatment protocols, we identify and correct the specific spinal misalignments interfering with your body’s natural healing process.
Our 30+ years of experience in Hudson County means we understand the specific challenges St. Pete residents face—from the physical demands of local industries to the postural stress of commuting. This local insight helps us provide more targeted, effective care.
We emphasize education and prevention alongside treatment. You’ll learn specific exercises and lifestyle modifications to support your recovery and prevent future problems. Dr. Roses also provides follow-up care that many practices skip—including calling patients after adjustments to ensure they’re responding well to treatment.
