Your baby sleeps through the night. Feeding time becomes peaceful instead of stressful. The constant crying stops, and you finally see your little one comfortable and content.
You’re not walking the floors at 2 AM anymore. Your family can enjoy meals together without the soundtrack of an inconsolable infant. The tension in your shoulders melts away because you’re not constantly worried about what’s wrong.
This isn’t wishful thinking. It’s what happens when you address the actual cause of your baby’s discomfort instead of just managing symptoms.
We bring decades of specialized pediatric care to Downtown Jersey City families. Dr. Dan Roses comes from a family of pediatric chiropractors and has been adjusted since birth – he’s living proof of the benefits.
This isn’t a general practice that “also sees kids.” This is a clinic designed around the unique needs of infants and children. Our office includes a dedicated nursing room and kids’ corner because we understand what families actually need.
Jersey City parents choose us because they know their baby will receive the gentlest, most effective care from practitioners who’ve dedicated their careers to pediatric wellness.
Your first visit starts with a thorough evaluation to understand your baby’s specific needs. No guessing, no one-size-fits-all approach. We assess how birth trauma or positioning may have affected your little one’s spine and nervous system.
The adjustment itself uses pressure so gentle it’s comparable to checking the ripeness of an avocado. Your baby often lies on your chest during treatment, maintaining that crucial connection and comfort. Many parents see immediate changes – babies who were fussy suddenly relax and stop crying.
Follow-up visits track progress and ensure lasting relief. The goal isn’t just temporary comfort but optimal nervous system function that supports your child’s healthy development from day one.

We specialize in treating the conditions that keep Jersey City families up at night. Colic, reflux, sleep disturbances, nursing difficulties, and chronic fussiness all respond to gentle nervous system care.
Downtown Jersey City’s diverse community trusts our practice because we understand that every baby is different. Whether your little one struggled through a difficult birth, was positioned awkwardly in utero, or developed issues after a C-section, we have the expertise to help.
Our approach goes beyond symptom relief. By optimizing nervous system function, we’re supporting your child’s ability to digest properly, sleep soundly, and develop without the interference of spinal stress that can occur during birth.
Absolutely. Pediatric chiropractic adjustments are incredibly gentle, using pressure similar to what you’d use to check if an avocado is ripe. The techniques are specifically modified for your baby’s delicate body.
Research following 697 pediatric patients who received over 5,200 treatments showed no adverse effects. Many babies actually find the gentle touch soothing and often fall asleep during treatment. The adjustment is so mild that babies can receive care from the day they’re born.
Many parents notice changes immediately after the first adjustment. Babies who were crying often become calm and relaxed right on the treatment table. However, every baby is different, and some may need a few visits to see full results.
Research shows that 94% of colicky babies improve with chiropractic care, with significant reductions in crying time. For reflux, parents typically see less spit-up, better feeding, and improved comfort within the first few treatments. The key is addressing the nervous system interference that’s causing the digestive issues.
The birth process, even normal vaginal delivery, can put stress on a baby’s spine and nervous system. Add in factors like positioning in the womb, long labor, or C-section delivery, and you can have misalignments that interfere with proper nerve function.
When the nerves that control digestion aren’t working optimally, babies can experience reflux, gas, constipation, and the excessive crying we call colic. The vagus nerve, which is crucial for digestion, can be affected by tension in the upper spine. This explains why gentle spinal adjustments often provide such dramatic relief.
Medications treat symptoms but don’t address why your baby is having digestive issues in the first place. Gas drops and acid blockers might provide temporary relief, but they’re not fixing the underlying nervous system interference.
Research comparing chiropractic care to anti-gas medication found that 67% of babies improved with chiropractic versus only 38% with medication. Plus, you’re not introducing chemicals into your baby’s developing system. Chiropractic care works with your baby’s natural healing ability to restore proper function.
Many insurance plans do cover chiropractic care, though coverage varies by provider and plan. Our office can help you understand your specific benefits and will provide documentation for reimbursement if you have out-of-network coverage.
Even if you’re paying out of pocket, consider the cost compared to sleepless nights, multiple doctor visits, prescription medications, and the stress on your entire family. Most parents find that the investment in their baby’s comfort and health is worth every penny when they see the results.
Babies can be safely adjusted from birth. In fact, many parents bring their newborns in within the first few days of life, especially after difficult deliveries or C-sections. The earlier you address any spinal stress from birth, the better.
There’s no upper age limit either. As children grow, they face new challenges like learning to walk, playground falls, heavy backpacks, and sports injuries. Regular chiropractic care supports their developing spine and nervous system through all these stages, setting them up for optimal health throughout childhood and beyond.
