Your baby isn’t trying to be difficult. When constant crying, feeding struggles, and sleepless nights become your reality, there’s usually an underlying reason traditional pediatric care misses.
Research shows that 9 out of 10 infants experience significant improvement in reflux symptoms with gentle chiropractic care. Parents report their babies sleep better, feed more effectively, and cry less within just a few visits.
The truth is, birth is traumatic for your baby’s delicate spine and nervous system. Even routine deliveries create tension that can interfere with digestion, sleep, and comfort. When we address these issues naturally, your baby’s body can function the way it’s supposed to.
Dr. Paul Roses has been caring for families in the Hudson County area for over 30 years. Originally wanting to become a pediatrician to help as many children as possible, he discovered chiropractic offered a natural path to healing that didn’t rely on medications.
His experience includes treating infants at St. Clare’s Home for Children in Elizabeth, where he witnessed remarkable improvements in babies with serious health challenges. Exchange Place families trust Dr. Roses because he understands that every baby deserves the gentlest, most effective care possible.
Located in nearby Bayonne, we’ve been a cornerstone of natural healthcare for generations of families who value safe, drug-free solutions for their children’s health concerns.
Your first visit begins with a thorough consultation about your baby’s health history and current concerns. Dr. Roses takes time to understand exactly what you’re experiencing at home – the sleepless nights, feeding struggles, and constant worry.
The examination is completely gentle, using only light touch to assess your baby’s spine and nervous system. There’s no twisting, cracking, or forceful movements – just careful evaluation of areas that may be causing discomfort.
Treatment uses fingertip pressure that’s lighter than what you’d use to check if a tomato is ripe. Most babies find the adjustments soothing, and many fall asleep during treatment. You’ll typically see improvements within the first few visits, with many parents reporting better sleep and feeding after just one session.

We specialize in addressing the most common concerns Exchange Place parents face with their infants. Colic, reflux, breastfeeding difficulties, and sleep disturbances often stem from nervous system stress that occurred during birth.
Exchange Place families understand the value of quality healthcare. With the area’s high concentration of professionals and busy lifestyles, parents need solutions that work quickly and effectively. Our gentle approach addresses issues like tongue-tie complications, digestive problems, and developmental concerns that can impact your baby’s comfort and growth.
Care can begin as early as the first weeks of life, making it ideal for newborns experiencing feeding difficulties or excessive fussiness. The techniques are so gentle that they’re among the safest forms of healthcare your baby can receive, with research showing no serious adverse effects when performed by experienced practitioners.
Yes, pediatric chiropractic care is extremely safe when performed by an experienced practitioner. The techniques used for infants involve only fingertip pressure – about the same amount of pressure you’d use to check if fruit is ripe.
Research shows no serious adverse effects from infant chiropractic treatment, with studies documenting it as one of the safest forms of healthcare babies can receive. Dr. Roses has over 30 years of experience treating infants, including his work at St. Clare’s Home for Children, where he safely cared for babies with complex health conditions.
The adjustments don’t involve any twisting, cracking, or forceful movements. Most babies find the treatment soothing, and many fall asleep during sessions.
Many parents notice improvements after the first visit, with research showing notable symptom improvement typically occurring within four visits. However, every baby is different, and the timeline depends on factors like how long the condition has been present and your baby’s individual response to care.
Studies demonstrate that 9 out of 10 infants experience significant improvement in reflux symptoms with chiropractic care. Parents often report their babies sleep better, cry less, and feed more effectively within the first few sessions.
For conditions like colic, research shows that babies who receive chiropractic care cry less and sleep more compared to those who don’t receive treatment. Complete resolution of symptoms often occurs within three months of consistent care.
Yes, chiropractic care can significantly improve breastfeeding success by addressing physical restrictions that interfere with your baby’s ability to latch and nurse effectively. Birth trauma can cause tension in the jaw, neck, and cranial areas that make nursing difficult or painful for your baby.
Case studies show improvements in breastfeeding latch after just one adjustment, with some babies increasing their milk consumption by 50% within weeks of starting care. The gentle cranial adjustments enhance nerve function that’s essential for proper swallowing and suckling.
Many breastfeeding difficulties are actually related to tongue-tie, jaw tension, or spinal misalignments that occurred during delivery. When we address these underlying issues, both mother and baby can have a more positive nursing experience.
Pediatric chiropractic care can help with a wide range of infant conditions including colic, reflux, breastfeeding difficulties, sleep disturbances, constipation, and ear infections. These issues often stem from spinal misalignments or nervous system stress that occurred during the birth process.
Research shows that digestive issues account for approximately 13% of all pediatric visits to chiropractors, with many case reports documenting improvements in conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) under chiropractic care. The treatment addresses root causes rather than just managing symptoms.
Other conditions that may respond to gentle chiropractic care include torticollis (head tilting), plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome), excessive gas, frequent spitting up, and general fussiness. The key is that these treatments work by optimizing nervous system function, which affects your baby’s entire body.
Care can begin as early as the first weeks of life, and many parents find that earlier intervention leads to better outcomes. If your baby is experiencing feeding difficulties, excessive crying, sleep problems, or seems generally uncomfortable, it’s worth having them evaluated.
Signs that may indicate your baby could benefit from chiropractic care include difficulty breastfeeding, one shoulder appearing lower than the other, problems with sleep patterns, frequent spitting up, or preferring to turn their head to one side. Even if your baby seems fine, a gentle evaluation can help ensure proper development.
The birth process, whether vaginal delivery or C-section, places significant stress on your baby’s spine and nervous system. Early chiropractic care can address these issues before they develop into larger problems, supporting your baby’s natural ability to grow and develop optimally.
Pediatric chiropractic uses completely different techniques designed specifically for children’s developing bodies. While adult chiropractic often involves more forceful adjustments, infant care uses only light fingertip pressure with no twisting or cracking sounds.
The examination process is also different, focusing on gentle palpation and observation rather than complex diagnostic procedures. Dr. Roses uses techniques specifically designed for babies’ delicate nervous systems and developing spines.
The conditions treated are also different. While adults typically seek chiropractic care for back pain or injury, babies are brought in for issues like colic, feeding difficulties, and sleep problems. The goal is to support proper nervous system development and function rather than treating pain or injury.
