When your baby finally sleeps through the night, when feeding becomes peaceful instead of stressful, when the crying stops and smiles begin—that’s what pediatric chiropractic care can deliver. Research shows 9 out of 10 infants experience significant improvement in reflux symptoms, while 63% of colicky babies achieve meaningful reductions in crying time.
Your nights don’t have to be filled with helpless pacing and endless worry. Gentle adjustments address the root causes of infant discomfort, supporting your baby’s nervous system so their body can function as it should. Many parents see improvements after just one visit, with babies sleeping better, feeding more easily, and showing less fussiness throughout the day.
This isn’t about masking symptoms with medications. It’s about removing the interference that prevents your baby’s body from working properly, allowing natural healing and development to occur.
Dr. Paul Roses has been caring for Hudson County families for over 30 years, with extensive experience treating infants from their first days of life. His work with babies at St. Clare’s Home for Children demonstrated the profound impact gentle chiropractic care can have on even the most vulnerable little ones.
Located in the heart of Hudson City, we understand the unique needs of our diverse community. Whether you’re a first-time parent dealing with colic or an experienced family seeking natural solutions for your newest addition, you’ll find compassionate care that puts your baby’s safety and comfort first.
Our practice combines decades of clinical experience with the latest research in pediatric chiropractic care. Every adjustment is tailored specifically for your infant’s delicate system, using techniques so gentle they feel more like a loving touch than a medical procedure.
Your first visit begins with a thorough but gentle assessment. We’ll discuss your baby’s birth experience, feeding patterns, sleep habits, and any concerns you’ve noticed. This conversation helps us understand what might be causing your little one’s discomfort.
The examination itself is completely non-invasive. We check for subtle misalignments that may have occurred during birth or early development, looking at the spine, skull, and nervous system function. Most babies find this process soothing rather than stressful.
Treatment involves incredibly gentle adjustments—often no more pressure than you’d use to check a tomato for ripeness. These precise corrections help restore proper nerve function, allowing your baby’s digestive system, sleep patterns, and overall comfort to improve naturally. Many parents notice positive changes within days, with continued improvement over the following weeks as your baby’s system finds its natural balance.

Pediatric chiropractic care at Roses Chiropractic addresses the full spectrum of infant and childhood concerns. From newborn colic and reflux to toddler ear infections and developmental milestones, we provide gentle support at every stage of growth.
Hudson City families particularly benefit from our understanding of the challenges urban parenting presents. Environmental factors, birthing experiences at local hospitals, and the stress of city life can all impact your baby’s comfort and development. Our care plans account for these local realities while focusing on your child’s individual needs.
Treatment encompasses more than just spinal adjustments. We provide guidance on feeding positions, sleep environments, and developmental activities that support your baby’s progress. This holistic approach recognizes that your child’s health involves multiple factors, all working together to promote optimal growth and comfort.
The techniques we use are specifically designed for pediatric patients, with pressure so light it’s often described as “no more than the weight of a dime.” Safety protocols ensure every interaction prioritizes your baby’s wellbeing above all else.
Absolutely. Pediatric chiropractic care is exceptionally safe when performed by trained professionals. Studies following nearly 700 pediatric patients through over 5,200 treatments found no adverse effects. The techniques used for infants involve incredibly gentle pressure—often compared to the touch you’d use to check fruit ripeness.
Dr. Roses has over three decades of experience treating infants, including work with medically fragile babies. The adjustments are specifically modified for your baby’s size and developmental stage. Most infants find the process soothing and often fall asleep during treatment.
Many parents notice positive changes within the first few visits, with some babies showing improvement after just one session. Research indicates that 63% of colicky infants achieve clinically meaningful reductions in crying time, while 9 out of 10 babies with reflux experience significant symptom improvement.
However, every baby is unique. Some respond quickly, while others need a few more sessions for their nervous system to fully integrate the changes. We’ll monitor your baby’s progress closely and adjust the treatment plan as needed to ensure optimal results.
Pediatric chiropractic care effectively addresses numerous common infant concerns including colic, reflux, sleep disturbances, feeding difficulties, and frequent ear infections. It also helps with latching problems during breastfeeding, excessive fussiness, and developmental concerns related to birth trauma.
The treatment works by optimizing nervous system function, which controls digestion, sleep patterns, and overall comfort. When spinal misalignments interfere with nerve communication, babies can experience various symptoms that resolve once proper alignment is restored. Many conditions that seem unrelated—like sleep problems and digestive issues—often improve together because they share common nerve pathways.
Chiropractic care addresses the underlying cause of reflux rather than just masking symptoms. While acid blockers modify your baby’s developing digestive system and may have unknown side effects in infants, chiropractic adjustments work with your baby’s natural healing ability.
Studies comparing treatments show that 67% of babies cry less with pediatric chiropractic care versus only 38% with anti-gas medications. Additionally, babies receiving chiropractic care are twice as likely to sleep well and experience fewer behavioral issues as toddlers. The approach is drug-free, supporting your baby’s natural development without introducing foreign substances into their immature system.
The first visit focuses on understanding your baby’s unique situation through detailed discussion about pregnancy, birth experience, feeding patterns, and current concerns. The physical examination is gentle and thorough, checking for subtle misalignments that may be causing discomfort.
Most babies remain calm or even fall asleep during the assessment. If treatment is indicated, the first adjustment will be incredibly gentle—you may barely notice it happening. We’ll explain everything we’re doing and why, ensuring you’re comfortable with every aspect of your baby’s care. The entire visit typically takes 30-45 minutes, with plenty of time for your questions.
Chiropractic care can begin safely from birth, and many babies benefit from early intervention. The birth process, even in uncomplicated deliveries, can create subtle spinal misalignments that affect comfort and function. Early care helps establish proper nervous system function from the start.
However, it’s never too late to begin. Whether your baby is days old or several months old, pediatric chiropractic care can help address current concerns and support healthy development moving forward. The sooner misalignments are corrected, the less likely they are to create compensatory problems as your child grows.
