You’re tired of living around your pain. Every morning starts with that familiar ache, every workday becomes a battle against discomfort, and your weekends get hijacked by what you can’t do instead of what you want to do.
Here’s what changes when your spine works the way it should. You wake up without that stiffness. You sit through meetings without shifting in your chair every five minutes. You actually enjoy your evening walks through Van Vorst Park instead of cutting them short.
The difference isn’t just about feeling better—it’s about getting your life back. When your nervous system functions properly, your body does what it’s designed to do: heal itself, move freely, and support everything you want to accomplish.
Dr. Paul Roses has been helping people in this community since 1981. Not because he’s looking to build an empire, but because he understands something simple: when you’re in pain, you need someone who knows what they’re doing.
He grew up in Bayonne, went to St. Peter’s, and came back home after earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University. For over 40 years, we’ve been the chiropractor Van Vorst Park residents trust when their back goes out, their neck locks up, or they just want to feel human again.
What sets us apart isn’t fancy marketing or the latest trends. It’s results. Patients drive from across Hudson County because they know Dr. Roses will take the time to figure out what’s actually wrong and fix it right.
First, we figure out what’s actually causing your pain. Dr. Roses doesn’t guess—he uses advanced imaging and assessment tools to see exactly what’s happening with your spine. You’ll know what’s wrong before any treatment starts.
Then comes the adjustment. Using precise, controlled movements, Dr. Roses realigns your spine to take pressure off pinched nerves and restore proper function. Most patients feel immediate relief, but the real magic happens as your body starts healing itself over the following days.
You’ll also get specific exercises designed for your situation. These aren’t generic stretches you could find online—they’re targeted movements that strengthen the right muscles and prevent your problem from coming back. The goal isn’t just to fix today’s pain, but to keep you moving well for years to come.

Van Vorst Park professionals deal with unique challenges. Long commutes on the PATH train, hours hunched over computers, and the stress of city living all take their toll on your spine. We address these specific issues with treatments designed for your lifestyle.
Spinal adjustments form the foundation of care, but you’ll also get corrective exercises, posture coaching, and lifestyle advice tailored to your daily routine. Whether you’re dealing with tech neck from remote work, lower back pain from your commute, or tension headaches from stress, we have a specific approach that works.
We also serve families throughout the Van Vorst Park area. From sports injuries in active teenagers to pregnancy-related back pain, Dr. Roses has the experience to help every member of your family stay healthy and pain-free. Many patients bring their children for preventive care, knowing that good spinal health starts early.
Most patients notice some improvement immediately after their first adjustment, but everyone’s timeline is different. If you’re dealing with acute pain from sleeping wrong or a recent injury, you might feel significantly better within 24-48 hours.
For chronic issues that have been building for months or years, it typically takes a few visits to see lasting change. Dr. Roses will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific condition during your first visit. The key is that you should notice some positive change—even if it’s small—after that first adjustment.
What’s important is that improvement continues with each visit. If you’re not seeing progress after a few sessions, Dr. Roses will reassess and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.
Not always, but we use X-rays when they’re necessary to see what’s really happening with your spine. If you have a history of trauma, severe pain, or symptoms that suggest something more serious, X-rays help ensure you get the safest, most effective treatment.
For many common issues like muscle tension or minor joint restrictions, a thorough physical examination and advanced imaging tools like Titron Infrared Imaging provide all the information needed. This technology shows areas of inflammation and nerve irritation without radiation.
The decision always comes down to what’s best for your specific situation. Dr. Roses explains why X-rays are or aren’t needed in your case, so you understand exactly what’s happening and why certain steps are being taken.
Yes, when performed by an experienced chiropractor who understands spinal anatomy. Dr. Roses has successfully treated thousands of patients with disc problems over his 40+ year career, using gentle techniques specifically designed for these conditions.
The key is proper diagnosis and the right approach. Some adjustment techniques that work well for simple joint restrictions aren’t appropriate for herniated discs. We use specialized methods that decompress the spine and reduce pressure on the affected disc without forcing movement.
Many patients with herniated discs find significant relief through chiropractic care, often avoiding the need for injections or surgery. The treatment plan typically includes specific exercises to strengthen supporting muscles and prevent future problems. Each case is different, which is why a thorough evaluation is essential before treatment begins.
This depends entirely on your condition and how you respond to treatment. For acute problems like a recent injury or sudden onset pain, you might need to come in 2-3 times in the first week, then taper off as you improve.
Chronic conditions that have been developing for months or years typically require more frequent visits initially—perhaps 2-3 times per week for a few weeks—followed by maintenance care once or twice a month. Dr. Roses creates a specific treatment plan based on your examination findings and goals.
The honest answer is that some people feel great after just a few visits and only come in occasionally for maintenance. Others with complex problems need ongoing care to stay pain-free. Dr. Roses will always tell you upfront what to expect and adjust the plan based on how you’re responding to treatment.
Chiropractors focus primarily on spinal alignment and nervous system function, while physical therapists concentrate on movement, strength, and rehabilitation exercises. Both approaches can be effective, but they work differently.
As a chiropractor, Dr. Roses uses hands-on spinal adjustments to restore proper joint movement and reduce nerve interference. This often provides immediate pain relief and allows your body’s natural healing mechanisms to work more effectively. The treatment also includes corrective exercises, but the adjustment is the primary tool.
Physical therapists typically use exercise, stretching, and various modalities to improve strength and mobility over time. For many conditions, combining both approaches works best. We often work with physical therapists when patients need extensive rehabilitation, ensuring you get the most comprehensive care possible.
Yes, we accept most insurance plans that provide chiropractic coverage. However, coverage varies significantly between plans, so it’s important to understand your specific benefits before starting treatment.
Some plans require a referral from your primary care doctor, while others allow you to see a chiropractor directly. Most plans have a copay for each visit, and some have annual limits on the number of covered visits. Our office staff can verify your benefits and explain your coverage before your first appointment.
For patients without insurance or those whose plans don’t cover chiropractic care, we offer affordable cash payment options. Dr. Roses believes that financial concerns shouldn’t prevent anyone from getting the care they need, so payment plans can often be arranged for ongoing treatment.
