You’re not looking for temporary relief. You want to get back to playing without wondering if the injury will flare up again.
When your body heals correctly the first time, you avoid the cycle most athletes get stuck in. The one where you push through pain, take time off, feel better, then reinjure the same spot two weeks later. That pattern happens because the underlying issue never got addressed.
Proper treatment means your joints move the way they should. Your muscles fire in the right sequence. Your body distributes force evenly instead of overloading one area. You recover from workouts faster because circulation improves and inflammation drops.
Most athletes who come to our office in Greenville Yards notice they can train harder without the same nagging pains. They sleep better. They move with more confidence. And when they do push their limits, their body handles it instead of breaking down.
Dr. Paul Roses has been practicing in Hudson County for over 30 years. He grew up in Bayonne, went to St. Peter’s Prep, and has been serving this community since 1981.
He’s treated everyone from weekend warriors at Lincoln Park to high school athletes competing under the lights. After September 11th, he provided on-site care for the firefighters and police officers who worked at Ground Zero. That’s the kind of commitment you’ll find here.
The athletes in Greenville Yards deal with real injuries. Hamstring strains from pickup games at Columbia Park. Shoulder issues from swimming at the rec center. Ankle sprains from basketball tournaments. We understand what you’re dealing with because we’ve been treating these exact injuries in this exact community for decades.
First, you’ll get a full assessment. Not just where it hurts, but how you move, where you’re compensating, and what’s actually causing the problem. Most sports injuries don’t happen in isolation. A knee issue might stem from how your hip moves. Elbow pain often connects to shoulder mobility.
Once Dr. Roses identifies the root cause, he’ll explain what’s happening in plain terms. No medical jargon. Just a clear picture of why you’re hurting and what needs to happen for you to heal.
Treatment typically includes spinal and extremity adjustments to restore proper alignment and joint function. You might also receive Class IV LightForce laser therapy, which reduces pain and inflammation in 4-10 minute sessions. The laser increases circulation and speeds tissue repair without drugs or injections.
You’ll also get sport-specific exercises and movement coaching. If you’re a pitcher, you need different care than a soccer player. The goal is to address your specific demands so you can return to your sport without limitation.
Most athletes start feeling relief within the first few visits. Full recovery depends on the severity of the injury, but you’ll know exactly what to expect before treatment starts.

Every visit includes a thorough evaluation of how your injury is progressing. Dr. Roses adjusts the treatment plan based on what your body needs that day, not some cookie-cutter protocol.
You’ll receive hands-on chiropractic adjustments using techniques that are safer and more effective than older methods. These adjustments restore mobility to joints that aren’t moving correctly, whether that’s your spine, ankle, shoulder, or hip.
Many athletes also benefit from advanced laser therapy. The Class IV LightForce system penetrates deep into tissue to reduce inflammation and accelerate healing. It’s non-invasive, requires no recovery time, and works faster than ice or rest alone.
Hudson County has a strong athletic culture. From high school football games to adult leagues at Bayside Park, sports matter here. We know that sitting out isn’t an option for most athletes. The treatment approach reflects that urgency while still prioritizing long-term health over quick fixes.
You’ll also get honest guidance about when you can return to activity. Pushing too hard too soon leads to reinjury. Waiting too long leads to deconditioning. You need someone who understands the balance and will tell you the truth about your timeline.
Recovery time depends on the type and severity of your injury. A mild ankle sprain might respond in two to three weeks. A chronic hamstring strain that’s been bothering you for months will take longer.
Most athletes notice improvement within the first week of treatment. Pain decreases, range of motion improves, and movement feels less restricted. But feeling better and being fully healed are different things.
Dr. Roses will give you a realistic timeline during your first visit. He’ll also explain what factors speed up or slow down recovery. Things like how well you follow the rehab exercises, whether you modify activity appropriately, and how your body responds to treatment all play a role. The goal is always to get you back to full activity as quickly as possible without risking reinjury.
Yes. Most sports injuries happen because of underlying imbalances or movement dysfunctions that go unnoticed until something breaks down.
Regular chiropractic care identifies these issues before they become injuries. If your hip mobility is limited, your knee will compensate. If your thoracic spine doesn’t rotate well, your shoulder takes on extra stress. Addressing these problems early keeps you on the field instead of sitting out.
Many athletes in Greenville Yards use chiropractic as part of their regular training routine, not just when they’re hurt. They come in for maintenance adjustments, movement assessments, and sport-specific guidance. Research shows this approach reduces injury rates and improves performance markers like sprint times and vertical jump height. You’re essentially fixing small problems before they turn into big ones.
The most common injuries include ankle sprains, knee pain, hamstring and groin strains, shoulder issues, and lower back pain. These make up the majority of what athletes deal with, whether you’re playing recreational sports or competing at a higher level.
We also treat overuse injuries like tennis elbow, runner’s knee, and rotator cuff problems. These develop gradually from repetitive stress and often don’t respond well to rest alone. Chiropractic care addresses the biomechanical issues causing the overuse pattern.
Full-body assessment is key because injuries rarely happen in isolation. A pitcher with elbow pain might have the problem stemming from poor scapular movement. A soccer player with chronic ankle sprains might have hip weakness. We look at the entire kinetic chain to find the real source of the problem, not just treat symptoms.
No. You can schedule an appointment directly without a referral from another doctor.
If you’re dealing with acute pain, swelling that won’t go down, or an injury that’s affecting your ability to move normally, don’t wait. The sooner you get evaluated, the faster you can start treatment and the better your outcome will be.
Some injuries do require medical imaging or co-management with other specialists. If Dr. Roses determines that’s necessary during your evaluation, he’ll let you know and help coordinate that care. But most sports injuries respond well to conservative chiropractic treatment without needing surgery or prescription medications. The first step is getting an accurate diagnosis so you know exactly what you’re dealing with.
It depends on the injury. Some conditions require complete rest for a short period. Others allow you to continue training with modifications.
We understand that most athletes don’t want to stop completely. The treatment plan will include clear guidance about what activities you can continue, what you need to avoid, and when you can progress back to full intensity.
For example, a runner with a stress reaction might need to switch to swimming temporarily while the bone heals. A basketball player with a mild ankle sprain might be able to do upper body work and shooting drills while avoiding cutting movements. The goal is to keep you as active as possible without compromising healing. You’ll get specific, sport-relevant advice based on your injury and your goals, not generic instructions to “take it easy.”
Both approaches can be effective, and sometimes they work well together. The main difference is focus and technique.
Chiropractic care emphasizes restoring proper joint alignment and nervous system function through hands-on adjustments. When a joint isn’t moving correctly, it affects everything around it. Adjustments restore that mobility quickly, which often provides faster pain relief and improved function.
Physical therapy typically focuses more on strengthening exercises, stretching, and modalities like ultrasound or electrical stimulation. At Roses Chiropractic, you’ll get both the adjustments and the rehab exercises. We provide sport-specific movement coaching and strengthening protocols as part of the treatment plan. You’re not choosing between approaches. You’re getting comprehensive care that addresses both the structural issues and the functional deficits causing your injury.
