You stop limping through your morning run. You stop wincing every time you reach overhead. You stop wondering if this is just how your shoulder’s going to feel forever.
Real recovery means you’re moving the way you used to—maybe even better. It means you’re not sitting on the sidelines watching your team play without you, or skipping the weekend league because your back can’t handle it. It means your body works with you again, not against you.
That’s what happens when we address the actual problem instead of just numbing the pain. Your joints move correctly. Your muscles stop compensating. Your nervous system stops sending those constant pain signals. And you get back to doing what you love without constantly thinking about what hurts.
Dr. Paul Roses has been treating sports injuries since 1981. That’s over 40 years of seeing what works and what doesn’t when someone’s dealing with a pulled hamstring, a tweaked shoulder, or chronic pain that won’t quit.
He’s worked with everyone from high school athletes to weekend warriors who just want to play pickup basketball without paying for it the next day. Hoboken’s got one of the most active communities in Hudson County—over 50% of students here play sports, and Hive Athletic alone has over 5,000 players across the area. We get it. You’re not looking for someone to tell you to rest for six weeks. You’re looking for someone who can actually fix the problem.
We serve the broader Hudson County area from Bayonne, using hands-on adjustments and advanced imaging to figure out what’s actually going on in your body—not just where it hurts.
First, you’ll talk through what happened. When did it start hurting? What makes it worse? What have you already tried? We’re not rushing you out the door—we’re listening because the details matter.
Then comes the exam. We’ll check your range of motion, test your joints, and use Titron Infrared Imaging if needed to see what’s happening beneath the surface. This isn’t guesswork. It’s about finding the root cause—whether that’s a misalignment in your spine, a joint that’s not moving right, or muscles that are overcompensating for something else.
Once we know what’s wrong, we’ll adjust the areas that need it. These are precise, hands-on corrections that restore proper movement and take pressure off nerves. Most people feel some relief right away. One patient said they were walking normally after just three adjustments.
You’ll also get a clear plan. How many visits you’ll likely need. What you can do at home. What to avoid while you’re healing. No surprises, no upselling—just honest guidance on how to get better and stay better.
Ready to get started?
You get same-day or next-day appointments when you’re hurt and can’t wait a week to see someone. You get treatment that doesn’t involve prescriptions or surgery—just hands-on care that helps your body heal the way it’s supposed to.
Every session is built around your specific injury. Sprained ankle from a soccer game? Shoulder pain from throwing? Lower back strain from deadlifts? The approach changes based on what’s wrong and what you need to get back to. We use spinal adjustments, joint mobilization, and soft tissue work to restore function and reduce pain.
Hoboken athletes deal with a lot of repetitive strain injuries—runners with IT band issues, tennis players with elbow pain, CrossFit athletes with shoulder problems. Our treatment addresses why those injuries keep happening, not just the symptoms. That means looking at your biomechanics, your movement patterns, and the areas of your body that aren’t pulling their weight.
You’ll also get advice on preventing the next injury. Stretches that actually help. Strengthening exercises that support what you’re doing. Small adjustments to your form or routine that make a big difference over time. It’s not just about fixing what’s broken—it’s about keeping you in the game long-term.
It depends on what’s injured and how bad it is. A mild strain might only sideline you for a few days with the right treatment. A more serious issue—like a ligament sprain or a disc problem—could take a few weeks.
Here’s what matters more than timelines: you need to actually heal, not just feel better. A lot of athletes push through pain and end up with chronic problems that could’ve been avoided. Chiropractic care speeds up recovery by restoring proper joint function and improving circulation to damaged tissues, but you still have to let your body do the work.
Most people see noticeable improvement within the first few visits. Some feel relief right away. Others take a bit longer depending on how long they’ve been dealing with the problem. We’ll give you a realistic expectation based on your specific injury—not a generic answer that doesn’t mean anything.
Yes, and that’s one of the biggest reasons athletes use it even when they’re not hurt. When your spine and joints are aligned correctly, your body moves more efficiently. That means less strain on muscles, less wear on joints, and fewer compensations that lead to injury.
Regular adjustments help you maintain better biomechanics. If your hips are out of alignment, your knees and ankles have to pick up the slack—and that’s how you end up with tendonitis or stress fractures. Fix the alignment, and you reduce the risk.
A lot of professional athletes get adjusted regularly for exactly this reason. It’s not about treating pain—it’s about keeping their bodies functioning at the highest level so they don’t get hurt in the first place. If you’re serious about staying active long-term, prevention beats rehab every time.
Sports medicine doctors are great for diagnosing injuries and managing complex cases that might need imaging or surgery. But their first-line treatment is usually rest, ice, and anti-inflammatories. If that doesn’t work, you’re looking at physical therapy referrals or injections.
We take a different approach. The focus is on restoring movement and function through hands-on adjustments. No prescriptions. No waiting weeks for physical therapy to start. You get treated the same day, and the goal is to fix the underlying problem—not just manage symptoms.
A lot of people come to us after they’ve already tried the traditional route and didn’t get the results they wanted. Others come here first because they know they don’t want drugs or surgery unless it’s absolutely necessary. Both are valid. It just depends on what kind of care you’re looking for.
Most people are surprised by how gentle it is. You might feel some pressure or hear a pop when a joint releases, but it shouldn’t hurt. If anything, a lot of patients feel immediate relief because the adjustment takes pressure off a nerve or restores movement to a joint that’s been stuck.
We adjust our technique based on your injury and your pain level. If you’ve got a fresh sprain or a really inflamed area, we’re not going to crank on it. There are low-force techniques that work just as well without adding stress to an already irritated area.
Some soreness afterward is normal—kind of like how you feel after a good workout. It usually fades within a day or two, and most people feel significantly better overall. If you’re nervous about it, just say something. The whole point is to help you feel better, not worse.
No referral needed. You can call and schedule directly. If you’ve already had X-rays or an MRI done somewhere else, bring them—they’re helpful. But you don’t need them to get started.
We use Titron Infrared Imaging and hands-on evaluation to assess what’s going on. If we think you need additional imaging or a referral to another specialist, we’ll let you know. But most sports injuries don’t require that. They just require someone who knows how to properly assess and treat musculoskeletal problems.
The goal is to make this as easy as possible. You’re hurt, you want help, and you don’t want to jump through hoops to get it. That’s the whole point of offering same-day appointments and straightforward care without a bunch of red tape.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but we’ll give you an honest estimate after your first visit. Some people only need a handful of sessions. Others with chronic issues or more severe injuries might need ongoing care for a few weeks.
What you won’t get is a sales pitch for a year-long treatment plan when you don’t need it. The focus is on getting you better and keeping you better—not dragging things out. A lot of patients see major improvement within three to six visits, especially if they’re dealing with something acute like a pulled muscle or joint sprain.
If you’re not seeing progress, that gets addressed too. Sometimes an injury needs a different approach, or there’s something else going on that needs attention. The point is to be transparent about what’s working and what’s not, so you’re never left wondering if you’re wasting your time or money.
