Picture this: your baby feeds comfortably without arching or screaming. They sleep through the night instead of waking up uncomfortable every hour. You’re not walking the halls at 3 AM wondering what’s wrong.
That’s what happens when we address the real issue. Your baby isn’t being difficult—their nervous system is overwhelmed, and their body is trying to tell you something. We listen to what that something is.
Research shows 9 out of 10 infants experience significant improvement with gentle chiropractic care. When spinal tension from birth gets released, digestion works better, sleep comes easier, and your whole family can finally rest.
Dr. Paul Roses originally wanted to be a pediatrician—and in many ways, he became one. For over three decades, we’ve been the chiropractor Mill Creek families trust when their babies need gentle, effective care.
Dr. Roses has adjusted infants with special needs, worked with families through feeding challenges, and helped countless babies find comfort when nothing else worked. This isn’t about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all approaches.
Mill Creek families know their children deserve the best. With household incomes well above the state average and over 30% of homes having children under 18, this community invests in quality healthcare that actually works.
First, we listen. We want to understand exactly what’s happening—the feeding struggles, the sleep issues, the constant fussiness that’s wearing everyone down.
Then we examine your baby with incredibly gentle techniques. The pressure we use is lighter than checking if an avocado is ripe. No twisting, no cracking, no scary sounds. Most babies actually fall asleep during treatment.
We address the root cause: nervous system stress that’s affecting digestion, sleep, and comfort. When spinal tension from birth gets released, your baby’s body can finally function the way it’s supposed to. Many families notice changes after just one visit, though we typically recommend a series of gentle adjustments for lasting results.

You get a chiropractor who understands that babies don’t just “grow out of” tension patterns—they grow around them. Dr. Roses has been specially trained in pediatric care, with over 100 years of safe chiropractic history backing every gentle adjustment.
Mill Creek families appreciate that we work alongside your pediatrician, lactation consultant, or feeding specialist. We’re not here to replace your medical team—we’re here to address what they might be missing.
Your baby receives care that targets the vagus nerve and nervous system function, which directly impacts digestion, sleep, and overall comfort. This isn’t about managing symptoms with medications that often don’t work in babies under 2 years old. This is about restoring the natural function that birth trauma may have disrupted.
Absolutely. Chiropractors have been safely treating babies for over 100 years, and the techniques we use are incredibly gentle—think of the pressure you’d use to check if a tomato is ripe.
Pediatric adjustments are nothing like adult chiropractic care. There’s no twisting, cracking, or sudden movements. The adjustments are so gentle that most babies actually relax and fall asleep during treatment. We use specialized training in pediatric spinal development and neurological function to ensure every adjustment is appropriate for your baby’s delicate anatomy.
Studies consistently show that chiropractic care is safe and effective for infants when performed by properly trained practitioners. Dr. Roses has decades of experience with babies and has worked with infants who had complex medical needs, always prioritizing safety and gentleness above all else.
Many parents notice changes after the first visit, though every baby is different. Research shows that 9 out of 10 infants experience significant improvement with chiropractic care, often much faster than parents expect.
What you might see first is better sleep—your baby may nap longer or wake up less frequently at night. Feeding often improves next, with less arching, spitting up, or fussiness during nursing or bottle feeding. Some babies become noticeably calmer and less irritable within days.
The timeline depends on how much tension built up during birth and how long the issues have been present. Babies who receive care soon after birth often respond faster than those who’ve been struggling for months. Most families see meaningful improvements within the first few visits, with continued progress over several weeks of gentle care.
Colic and reflux aren’t just digestive problems—they’re often signs of a stressed, overwhelmed nervous system. Your baby isn’t trying to be difficult; their body is trying to communicate that something needs attention.
The birth process, even normal vaginal deliveries, can create tension in a baby’s spine and skull. C-sections, prolonged labor, or unusual positioning in the womb can add extra stress. This tension affects the vagus nerve, which controls digestion, and can interfere with the coordination between your baby’s brain and digestive system.
When the nervous system is stressed, babies can’t properly regulate digestion, sleep, or comfort. They arch their backs trying to relieve pressure, spit up because their stomach muscles aren’t coordinating properly, and cry because they’re genuinely uncomfortable. Gentle chiropractic care releases this tension, allowing their nervous system to function normally and their symptoms to resolve naturally.
Most pediatricians today are familiar with chiropractic care for babies, especially when they see how gentle and effective it can be. We always encourage parents to keep their pediatrician informed about all aspects of their baby’s care.
We work collaboratively with your medical team, not as a replacement for pediatric care. If your baby has been diagnosed with GERD or other conditions, we can provide supportive care that addresses the underlying nervous system factors while you continue with your pediatrician’s recommendations.
Many pediatricians appreciate that we offer a drug-free approach, especially since reflux medications often don’t work well in babies under 2 years old. We’re happy to communicate with your pediatrician about your baby’s progress and coordinate care when needed. The goal is always what’s best for your baby, and that usually involves a team approach to their health and comfort.
Pediatric chiropractic care is completely different from what adults receive. The techniques are incredibly gentle, using only fingertip pressure—no more force than you’d use to test the ripeness of fruit.
Dr. Roses has specialized training in pediatric spinal development and understands how a baby’s nervous system develops. Baby spines are mostly cartilage, not hard bone like adults, so the adjustments are more like gentle releases of tension rather than traditional “adjustments.”
We focus on areas that are commonly affected by birth—the upper neck, skull, and sacrum—using techniques specifically designed for infants. There’s no popping, cracking, or sudden movements. Most babies find the treatment so relaxing they fall asleep, which is actually a good sign that their nervous system is responding positively to the gentle care.
Your first visit is mostly about listening and understanding what’s been happening with your baby. We’ll discuss the birth experience, current symptoms, feeding patterns, sleep issues, and any concerns you have.
The examination is incredibly gentle and thorough. We’ll check how your baby moves, look for areas of tension or restricted motion, and assess their overall comfort and development. This isn’t like an adult chiropractic exam—everything is designed specifically for babies and their unique needs.
If treatment is appropriate, the first adjustment will be very gentle and brief. We’ll explain everything we’re doing and make sure you’re comfortable with the process. Many babies actually become more relaxed during and after treatment. We’ll also give you guidance on what to watch for at home and schedule appropriate follow-up care based on your baby’s specific needs and response to treatment.
