Most athletes push through pain until something gives. A pulled hamstring becomes chronic tightness. A tweaked shoulder turns into limited range of motion. Lower back stiffness starts affecting your sleep, your workouts, your daily routine.
Here’s what changes when you address sports injuries the right way. You stop compensating with other muscles that weren’t designed to carry the load. Your body stops sending pain signals because the underlying issue—nerve interference, misalignment, muscle imbalance—actually gets corrected.
You’re not masking symptoms with medication that wears off in four hours. You’re removing the interference so your nervous system can do what it’s designed to do: heal, adapt, and perform. That means faster recovery, better mobility, and a real shot at getting back to your sport without the same injury popping up three weeks later.
Dr. Paul Roses has been practicing chiropractic care for over 30 years, and he’s spent most of that time working with people who don’t have the luxury of sitting around waiting to feel better. Athletes, first responders, weekend warriors—people who need to move, perform, and trust their bodies under pressure.
He grew up in Hudson County, trained at Life Chiropractic College, and came back to serve the community he knows. During the 9/11 rescue operations, he provided on-site care to firefighters and police officers who were working around the clock. That’s the kind of experience that shapes how you treat people—fast, effective, no-nonsense care when it matters most.
West New York has a tight-knit community of active people, from soccer leagues at Miller Stadium to runners along the Hudson River waterfront. Dr. Roses understands what it means to live here, stay active here, and need someone who can get you back to full strength without the runaround.
First visit, we figure out what’s actually wrong. Not just where it hurts, but why it hurts. That means looking at your spine, your movement patterns, your injury history, and how your nervous system is communicating with the rest of your body.
Once we identify the root cause—whether it’s a misalignment, nerve compression, or muscle compensation—we start treatment. Chiropractic adjustments realign your spine and remove interference so your brain can communicate clearly with every muscle, joint, and tissue. We’re not cracking bones for the sake of it. We’re restoring function.
You’ll also get guidance on what to do between visits. Stretches, movement modifications, things that support your recovery instead of setting you back. Most people start feeling relief within the first few sessions, but real recovery takes consistency. We’ll map out a plan based on your injury, your goals, and how fast your body responds. No guessing, no dragging it out longer than necessary.
Ready to get started?
You’re not getting a one-size-fits-all adjustment and a pat on the back. Every treatment plan is built around your specific injury, your sport, and what your body needs to heal correctly.
We use advanced spinal correction techniques that go beyond what most chiropractic offices offer. These aren’t the same methods from 30 years ago—this is modern, precise care designed to get results faster and with less discomfort. You’ll also get a full evaluation of how your injury is affecting the rest of your body, because a knee issue might be coming from your hips, and shoulder pain might be rooted in your neck.
West New York athletes deal with everything from soccer and basketball injuries to repetitive strain from running on concrete and lifting in cramped gym spaces. We see it all—sprains, strains, tendonitis, overuse injuries, post-game soreness that won’t quit. Whether you’re training for a competition or just trying to stay active without constant pain, the focus here is getting you back to doing what you love, safely and sustainably.
This isn’t about managing pain for the rest of your life. It’s about fixing what’s broken so you don’t have to keep coming back for the same problem.
It depends on the injury, how long you’ve had it, and how well you follow the treatment plan. Acute injuries—something that just happened in the last few days or weeks—usually respond faster than chronic issues you’ve been dealing with for months or years.
Most people start noticing improvement within the first few visits. That might mean less pain, better range of motion, or just being able to move without that sharp twinge that’s been stopping you cold. Full recovery typically takes a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on severity.
Here’s the thing: if you only show up when it’s convenient or you skip the rehab work between sessions, recovery takes longer. Your body heals on a timeline, and consistency matters. We’ll give you a realistic estimate after the first evaluation, and we’ll adjust the plan as you progress.
Yes. Most people think chiropractors only work on backs, but that’s not the case. We treat shoulders, knees, ankles, wrists, hips—any joint or soft tissue injury that’s affecting your movement and performance.
Sports injuries often involve more than one area. A sprained ankle might be causing you to walk differently, which throws off your hips and lower back. A shoulder injury might be linked to neck misalignment. Chiropractic care addresses the whole system, not just the spot that hurts.
We also work on things like tendonitis, runner’s knee, rotator cuff issues, and repetitive strain injuries. If it’s keeping you from playing your sport or staying active, there’s a good chance we can help. The goal is always the same: restore proper alignment, remove nerve interference, and let your body heal the way it’s supposed to.
No. You can schedule an appointment directly without a referral from another doctor. Chiropractors are primary care providers when it comes to musculoskeletal issues, which means you can come in on your own.
That said, if you’re dealing with something more complex—like a fracture, a torn ligament that might need surgery, or an injury that’s not responding to conservative care—we’ll let you know and refer you to the right specialist. We’re not here to treat things outside our scope. We’re here to handle what we do best: sports injuries that respond to alignment, mobility work, and drug-free treatment.
If you’ve already seen another provider and you’re not getting the results you need, you can still come in for a second opinion. A lot of athletes end up here after being told to rest, ice, and take ibuprofen—which works for some injuries, but not all of them.
Rest helps in the short term, but it doesn’t fix the underlying problem. If your injury is caused by a misalignment, muscle imbalance, or nerve interference, resting might reduce inflammation temporarily, but the issue is still there waiting for you when you start moving again.
That’s why so many athletes deal with recurring injuries. They rest, feel better, jump back in, and then the same thing flares up two weeks later. Rest alone doesn’t restore proper movement patterns or correct the biomechanical issues that caused the injury in the first place.
Chiropractic care addresses the root cause. We realign your spine, restore joint mobility, and make sure your nervous system is functioning the way it should. That gives your body the best possible environment to heal—and it reduces the chance of the same injury happening again. Rest is part of recovery, but it’s not the whole solution.
Yes, when it’s done correctly by someone who knows what they’re doing. Chiropractic care is one of the safest, most effective treatments for sports injuries, especially when you want to avoid surgery or long-term medication use.
We’re not forcing your body into positions it’s not ready for. Every adjustment is controlled, precise, and based on what your body can handle at that moment. If you’re dealing with severe inflammation or a fresh injury, we adjust the approach accordingly—gentler techniques, more focus on reducing swelling and restoring mobility before we move into full corrections.
Dr. Roses has over 30 years of experience treating everyone from professional athletes to weekend warriors, and he’s worked in high-pressure situations where safety and speed both matter. You’re in experienced hands. If something’s not appropriate for chiropractic care, you’ll be told upfront—no one’s going to push treatment that’s not right for your situation.
Not necessarily. Some people come in, get their injury treated, and that’s it. Others choose to continue with maintenance care because they like how their body feels when everything’s aligned and functioning properly.
If you’re an athlete who trains hard, competes regularly, or puts a lot of physical demand on your body, periodic adjustments can help you stay ahead of issues before they turn into injuries. Think of it like tuning up a car—you don’t wait for something to break before you check under the hood.
But that’s your call. We’re not here to lock you into a never-ending treatment plan. The goal is to get you better, give you the tools to stay better, and let you decide what makes sense for your body and your lifestyle. Some people come back once a month, some come back when they need us. Both are fine.
