Hear from Our Customers
Most athletes don’t want to hear “rest for six weeks” or “you might need surgery.” You want to know when you can get back out there and what it’ll take to stay there.
That’s where chiropractic care for sports injuries in Hamilton Park, NJ makes sense. Instead of masking pain with medication or jumping straight to invasive procedures, you’re addressing what’s actually wrong. Misalignments, restricted joints, muscle imbalances—the stuff that keeps you injured longer than you need to be.
When your spine and joints move the way they should, your body can do what it’s built to do: heal. Blood flow improves. Inflammation drops. Range of motion comes back. And you’re not just recovering—you’re building a foundation that helps prevent the next injury before it happens.
Dr. Paul Roses has been practicing chiropractic in New Jersey since 1981. That’s more than four decades of working with athletes who refuse to let an injury end their season—or their career.
Hamilton Park is home to some of the most active, driven professionals in Hudson County. You’re not sitting still, and neither are we. Whether you’re training for a marathon, playing in a weekend league, or just trying to stay mobile enough to keep up with your kids, you deserve care that fits your life.
We use state-of-the-art technology like Titron Infrared Imaging to assess what’s going on beneath the surface. No guessing. No generic treatment plans. Just a clear picture of what’s wrong and a realistic plan to fix it.
First, we figure out what’s injured and why. That means a full assessment—not just where it hurts, but how you move, where you’re compensating, and what led to the injury in the first place.
Then we build a treatment plan that makes sense for your schedule and your goals. Spinal adjustments to restore alignment. Soft tissue work to release tension and improve flexibility. Corrective exercises you can do at home to speed up recovery and prevent re-injury.
You’re not sidelined for months. Most athletes start seeing improvement within the first few visits. And because we’re focused on the root cause, not just symptoms, you’re less likely to end up back in the same spot six months from now.
If you need to keep playing while you heal, we’ll work with you on that too. Supportive taping, modified training plans, and ongoing adjustments mean you don’t have to choose between recovery and staying active.

Every visit is built around getting you better, not just managing symptoms. You’ll receive hands-on spinal adjustments to improve joint function and reduce nerve interference. Soft tissue therapy to address muscle strains, ligament sprains, and chronic tightness. And a personalized exercise plan designed to strengthen weak areas and improve your biomechanics.
In New Jersey, nearly 300,000 student-athletes participate in sanctioned sports each year, and about 90% report sustaining an injury at some point. That’s not counting the thousands of adult athletes in Hamilton Park who push their bodies just as hard. Sprains, strains, overuse injuries—they’re common, but they don’t have to keep you out of the game.
Chiropractic care has a proven track record in sports medicine. Every NFL and MLB team has a chiropractor on staff. 72% of PGA golfers get treated while on tour. These aren’t people looking for a quick fix—they’re looking for what works. And what works is a drug-free, non-invasive approach that improves performance while reducing injury risk.
It depends on the injury, how long you’ve had it, and how well you follow the treatment plan. Most athletes notice improvement within the first few visits—less pain, better range of motion, more stability.
Minor injuries like muscle strains or joint sprains often respond quickly. You might be back to full activity within a week or two. More serious injuries, or ones you’ve been dealing with for months, take longer. But even then, you’re usually looking at weeks, not months.
The goal isn’t just to get you out of pain. It’s to make sure you’re strong enough and moving well enough that you don’t get hurt again the second you ramp back up.
In many cases, yes. It depends on the severity of the injury and the sport. If you’re dealing with something that could get worse with continued activity, we’ll tell you. But for a lot of athletes, especially those playing at a high level, taking months off isn’t realistic.
That’s where chiropractic care gives you an edge. We can use techniques like supportive taping, joint mobilization, and corrective exercises to help you manage the injury while staying active. You might need to modify your training or dial back intensity for a bit, but you’re not sitting on the sidelines waiting.
The key is communication. If something’s not feeling right, we adjust the plan. The worst thing you can do is push through pain and make it worse.
Yes. Research shows that chiropractic care is one of the safest treatment options available for musculoskeletal injuries. The risk of serious complications is about one in a million—significantly lower than many primary care alternatives.
We don’t use surgery or prescription medications, which means you’re not dealing with the risks that come with those interventions. Instead, you’re working with your body’s natural ability to heal. Adjustments improve joint function, reduce inflammation, and restore proper movement patterns.
That said, not every injury is appropriate for chiropractic care alone. If something requires imaging, a specialist, or a different type of intervention, we’ll let you know. The goal is to get you better, not to force a treatment that doesn’t fit.
We treat the full range of sports-related injuries: sprains, strains, tendonitis, overuse injuries, joint pain, back pain, neck pain, shoulder issues, knee problems, and more. If it’s related to how your body moves and functions, we can help.
A lot of athletes come in with lower back pain from running or lifting. Others deal with shoulder injuries from throwing or swimming. Knee pain from basketball or soccer. Neck stiffness from cycling. These are all injuries that respond well to chiropractic care because they’re usually tied to alignment, mobility, or muscle imbalances.
We also work with athletes who don’t have a specific injury but want to improve performance and reduce injury risk. Regular adjustments can improve flexibility, coordination, and recovery time—all of which give you an edge when you’re competing.
Chiropractic care is significantly less expensive than surgery. Spinal surgery for low back pain can cost anywhere from $20,000 to $150,000 or more, depending on the procedure. That doesn’t include the cost of recovery time, physical therapy, or potential complications.
A study of 1.7 million cases found that patients who used chiropractic services cut the cost of treating back pain by 28%. They also had 32% fewer back surgeries and 41% fewer hospitalizations. That’s not just savings—it’s fewer invasive procedures, less downtime, and better long-term outcomes.
Most insurance plans cover chiropractic care, and even if you’re paying out of pocket, the cost per visit is a fraction of what you’d spend on surgery and rehab. You’re investing in a treatment that works without the risks and recovery time of going under the knife.
No. In New Jersey, you can see a chiropractor without a referral. You can call and schedule an appointment directly.
That’s one of the advantages of chiropractic care—you don’t have to wait weeks for a referral or approval. If you’re dealing with a sports injury and want to get it looked at quickly, you can come in and get started on a treatment plan right away.
If your insurance requires a referral for coverage, check with your provider. But from a legal and clinical standpoint, you don’t need anyone’s permission to seek chiropractic care. You’re in control of your health decisions.
