You’ve tried everything. The swaddling, the shushing, the endless bouncing at 3 AM. Your baby still screams, and you’re running on fumes.
Here’s what most parents don’t know: colic isn’t just “something babies do.” Research shows 94% of colicky infants improve significantly with gentle chiropractic care. We’re talking about real relief—not just managing symptoms.
The tension patterns that cause your baby’s discomfort often start during birth. Even smooth deliveries can create spinal stress that affects how your little one’s nervous system functions. When we release that tension using incredibly gentle techniques, babies can finally relax, feed better, and sleep.
Dr. Roses didn’t just study pediatric chiropractic—he lived it. Coming from a family of New Jersey pediatric chiropractors, he’s been adjusted since birth and understands firsthand how this care changes lives.
Harsimus Cove families appreciate evidence-based healthcare that works alongside their pediatrician. You’re educated, you research everything, and you want natural solutions that actually have science behind them. That’s exactly what we provide.
Our office sits minutes from the historic district, designed specifically for families with little ones. Private nursing room, play area, and enough space that you’re not stressed about bringing a fussy baby to an appointment.
Your first visit starts with listening. We want to understand your baby’s birth story, feeding patterns, and what’s keeping everyone awake at night. No rushing, no judgment—just getting the full picture.
Then comes the gentle assessment. We check your baby’s spine and nervous system using touch lighter than you’d use to test fruit ripeness. Most babies stay calm or even fall asleep during this process.
If we find tension or misalignment, we use specialized pediatric techniques to restore normal function. The adjustments are so subtle that many parents wonder if we actually did anything—until their baby starts sleeping through the night. We’ll also show you simple positioning techniques and exercises to support progress at home.

While colic relief brings most Harsimus Cove families through our door, we address the full spectrum of childhood concerns that respond to gentle chiropractic care. Reflux, constipation, feeding difficulties, sleep issues, ear infections, and developmental support.
For this community’s busy families, having a local pediatric specialist means one less trip into Manhattan. Your kids can continue care as they grow, supporting healthy development through heavy backpacks, sports activities, and the postural challenges of screen time.
Every technique is modified for your child’s specific age and needs. We maintain advanced certifications through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association and collaborate closely with your pediatrician. Safety isn’t just our priority—it’s our foundation.
Absolutely, when performed by a properly trained pediatric chiropractor. The research is clear: serious adverse events are extremely rare, and no deaths have ever been associated with chiropractic care in published medical literature.
What we do with babies is completely different from adult chiropractic. We use pressure equivalent to checking if fruit is ripe—so gentle that most babies sleep through their adjustments. Our specialized training through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association means we understand infant anatomy, development, and safety protocols.
The few serious events ever reported involved practitioners without proper pediatric training or underlying medical conditions that weren’t identified first. That’s why choosing a chiropractor with specific infant certification isn’t just important—it’s essential for your baby’s safety and your peace of mind.
Most parents see some improvement within the first few visits, but every baby is different. Research involving hundreds of colicky infants shows 94% experience significant symptom reduction with chiropractic care—those are remarkable odds.
Some babies surprise everyone with dramatic changes after just one session. Less crying, better sleep, improved feeding. Others need several visits to fully address the underlying tension patterns causing their discomfort.
Here’s the key difference: we’re not just managing symptoms like gas drops or other temporary fixes. We’re addressing the root cause—nervous system dysfunction that creates the digestive and comfort issues. Once that’s resolved, the improvements tend to be lasting rather than requiring ongoing management.
We help with any condition where nervous system function plays a role—which is surprisingly broad. Common infant concerns include reflux, constipation, feeding difficulties, sleep disturbances, torticollis, and frequent ear infections.
For older children, we address headaches, growing pains, sports injuries, chronic ear problems, and posture issues from heavy backpacks or too much screen time. Many families also choose wellness care to support optimal immune function and development.
It’s important to understand we don’t “treat” diseases directly. Instead, we remove interference in the nervous system that prevents your child’s body from functioning properly. This approach often helps with conditions that don’t respond well to conventional treatments alone, which is why many pediatricians now refer patients to us.
Not at all—collaboration makes everyone’s care better. We encourage you to maintain your relationship with your pediatrician and are happy to communicate about our findings and treatment approach.
Many local pediatricians appreciate having additional resources for families dealing with colic, feeding issues, or other concerns that don’t always respond to medical interventions alone. We’re not replacing medical care; we’re adding another tool to help your child thrive.
If we discover anything during examination that requires medical attention, we refer you back to your pediatrician immediately. Your child’s comprehensive care and safety require teamwork between all healthcare providers. We take that responsibility seriously.
Several clear signs suggest your baby might benefit from evaluation. Difficulty latching or feeding on one side, excessive crying that doesn’t respond to typical soothing, trouble sleeping, frequent spitting up, or seeming uncomfortable when lying flat.
You might notice your baby consistently turning their head to one side, arching their back frequently, or having difficulty with bowel movements. Even if your pediatrician says everything looks normal, trust your parental instincts if something feels off.
The birth process itself—even uncomplicated deliveries—can create tension patterns that affect how your baby’s nervous system functions. That’s why many informed parents choose to have their newborns evaluated shortly after birth as preventive care, similar to hearing or vision screening.
Our entire practice revolves around infants, children, and families—not adults who occasionally bring their kids. Dr. Roses comes from three generations of pediatric chiropractors and has specialized training that goes far beyond general chiropractic education.
We use only the gentlest techniques designed specifically for developing bodies. Our Harsimus Cove office is built with families in mind: private nursing room, kid-friendly environment, and space designed so you’re not stressed about bringing a fussy baby to appointments.
Most importantly, everything we do is based on current research and maintained through the highest safety standards. We’re certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association and stay current with the latest developments in pediatric care. Your child receives evidence-based treatment using proven techniques, not outdated methods or one-size-fits-all approaches.
