You know something’s wrong when your baby cries for hours and nothing helps. That desperate feeling when you’ve tried everything and your little one is still uncomfortable, arching their back, clenching their fists, struggling to sleep.
Here’s what changes when the real problem gets addressed. Your baby’s nervous system relaxes. The tension from birth trauma releases. Digestion improves, sleep comes easier, and that constant crying finally stops.
Most parents see changes right in our office. Your baby’s body remembers how to be comfortable, and you get your peace back.
Dr. Paul Roses originally wanted to be a pediatrician because he knew he wanted to help children. That calling led him to chiropractic care, where he’s spent decades helping East Newark families find real solutions.
He’s worked with infants at St. Clare’s Home for Children, witnessing incredible transformations in babies who received chiropractic care. Dr. Roses understands that your baby’s health affects your entire family’s well-being.
East Newark’s diverse community deserves healthcare that works. Families here don’t need more medications or complicated treatments. They need someone who gets it—someone who knows that when your baby hurts, you hurt too.
First, we talk. You tell us what’s happening—the crying patterns, sleep troubles, feeding issues. We listen because every detail matters when it comes to your baby’s comfort.
Then comes the gentle examination. We check your baby’s spine and nervous system using light touch—no more pressure than you’d use to test a tomato’s ripeness. We’re looking for areas where birth trauma or tension might be affecting their little body.
The adjustment itself takes just minutes. Your baby might lie on your chest or on our special pillows. Dr. Roses uses the lightest possible touch to restore proper movement and remove interference. Many babies relax immediately, some even fall asleep during treatment.

This isn’t just about stopping the crying—though that happens. We’re addressing the root cause of why your baby’s uncomfortable in the first place.
Your baby gets care designed specifically for their developing nervous system. We treat the effects of birth trauma, whether from a difficult delivery, C-section, or interventions like forceps or vacuum extraction. These experiences can create tension that affects everything from digestion to sleep.
East Newark families choose us because we understand the real challenges you face. You need care that works without breaking the budget. You need someone who respects your time and gets results. Most importantly, you need to know your baby is safe—and with gentle chiropractic care, they are.
Absolutely. Pediatric chiropractic care uses incredibly gentle techniques—we use no more pressure than you’d use to check if a peach is ripe. Dr. Roses has been safely treating infants for decades, some just minutes old.
Research shows no adverse effects from gentle chiropractic care for babies. The techniques are completely different from adult adjustments. Your baby might lie on your chest during treatment, and many actually fall asleep because they find it so relaxing.
We understand your concerns about safety. That’s exactly why we use such gentle approaches designed specifically for your baby’s delicate spine and nervous system.
Many parents notice changes right in our office during the first visit. Research shows that 63% of babies achieve clinically significant reduction in crying after chiropractic treatment.
Some babies relax immediately as their nervous system calms down. Others might need a few visits as their body learns to hold the proper alignment. Most families see meaningful improvement within the first week.
Every baby is different, but the research is clear—over 90% of parents in clinical studies reported improvements in their baby’s comfort and crying patterns. We’ll work with you to track progress and adjust care as needed.
Colic often stems from nervous system stress, frequently caused by birth trauma. The journey through the birth canal—or interventions like C-sections, forceps, or vacuum extraction—can create spinal misalignments that affect your baby’s nervous system.
When the nervous system is stressed, it affects everything: digestion, sleep, muscle tension, and your baby’s ability to self-soothe. This shows up as excessive crying, arching, gas pains, and sleep troubles.
Gentle chiropractic adjustments remove this interference, allowing your baby’s nervous system to function properly. When that happens, digestion improves, tension releases, and your baby can finally be comfortable.
Everything about pediatric chiropractic care is different. We use the lightest possible touch—about the pressure you’d use to gently press on your closed eyelid. There’s no twisting, popping, or forceful movements.
Your baby might lie on special pillows or on your chest during treatment. The “adjustment” is often just sustained, gentle pressure that helps their spine move back into proper alignment. Many babies find it so relaxing they fall asleep.
Dr. Roses has specialized training in pediatric care and understands exactly how to work with your baby’s developing spine and nervous system safely. The goal is always comfort and healing, never force.
Many insurance plans do cover chiropractic care for children, though coverage varies by plan. We’ll help you understand your benefits and work with your insurance company to maximize your coverage.
For families in East Newark, we also offer flexible payment options because we believe every baby deserves access to natural, effective care. We’ll never let finances prevent your child from getting the help they need.
We recommend calling your insurance company to ask about chiropractic benefits for pediatric care. Our office staff can also help verify your coverage and explain your options before your first visit.
Your first visit starts with conversation. We want to understand your baby’s birth story, current symptoms, and what you’ve already tried. This helps us understand exactly what’s happening with your little one.
The examination is incredibly gentle—we’re looking for areas of tension or restriction using light touch. Your baby stays comfortable the entire time, often in your arms or on your chest.
If we find areas that need attention, the first treatment happens right then. Most babies tolerate it beautifully, and many parents are amazed at how quickly their baby relaxes. We’ll explain everything we’re doing and answer any questions you have along the way.
