You know that feeling when your little one has been crying for hours, and nothing seems to help. The exhaustion. The helplessness. The worry that something’s really wrong.
Here’s what changes when your baby’s nervous system functions properly: those marathon crying sessions become shorter and less frequent. Feeding becomes easier, without the arching and fussing. Sleep comes naturally, for both of you.
Your baby settles into a calm rhythm. You get your confidence back as a parent. The whole family can finally rest.
Dr. Paul Roses has been serving families in the Hudson County area for over 30 years, originally drawn to help children before discovering the profound impact of chiropractic care. His gentle approach has helped countless infants find relief from colic, reflux, and developmental challenges.

What sets our practice apart is the combination of extensive experience with genuine care for each child’s wellbeing, not just symptom management.
Your first visit starts with understanding your baby’s specific challenges and birth history. Dr. Roses examines your infant’s spine and nervous system using incredibly gentle techniques—think of the pressure you’d use to check if fruit is ripe.
The adjustment itself is nothing like what you might imagine. No twisting, no popping sounds. Just precise, light touches that help restore proper nervous system function. Most babies actually relax during treatment.
You’ll typically see initial improvements within the first few visits, with many parents noticing their baby sleeps better and cries less almost immediately. Follow-up visits ensure the improvements hold and your child’s development stays on track.

Absolutely. Pediatric chiropractic care uses extremely gentle techniques specifically designed for infants’ delicate systems. The pressure applied is similar to what you’d use to check the ripeness of fruit—never forceful or aggressive.
Dr. Roses has over 30 years of experience treating infants, including babies just days old. The adjustments are nothing like adult chiropractic care—there’s no twisting, popping, or uncomfortable positioning. Most babies actually find the treatment soothing and often fall asleep during sessions.
Research shows that adverse events in pediatric chiropractic care are extremely rare when performed by experienced practitioners. The techniques are specifically adapted for developing spines and nervous systems.
Many parents notice changes within the first few visits, often within a week of starting care. Research shows that 63% of babies achieve a clinically significant reduction in crying time, with some families seeing improvements after just one session.
However, every baby is different. Some respond immediately, while others may need several sessions for their nervous system to fully adapt. Typically, you’ll see the most dramatic changes in the first 2-3 weeks of care.
The key is consistency. Your baby’s spine grows 50% in their first year, so regular check-ups during this crucial development period help ensure lasting improvements and prevent future issues from developing.
Yes, gentle spinal adjustments can significantly help with infant reflux by improving nervous system function, particularly the vagus nerve that controls digestion. When your baby’s spine is properly aligned, their digestive system can work more efficiently.
Reflux often occurs because the muscles controlling food movement through the digestive tract aren’t functioning optimally. This can be related to spinal misalignments from birth trauma or positioning issues. By correcting these misalignments, we help restore proper nerve communication to the digestive organs.
Many parents report their babies spit up less, feed more comfortably, and seem less uncomfortable after eating. The improvements often extend to better sleep patterns since reflux symptoms typically worsen when babies lie flat.
Birth itself, even in completely normal deliveries, places significant stress on your baby’s spine and nervous system. The twisting, compression, and pulling that occurs during delivery can create subtle misalignments that affect how your baby’s nervous system functions.
Additional factors include positioning in the womb, the use of forceps or vacuum extraction, C-section deliveries, and even how your baby is positioned for sleeping and feeding after birth. These aren’t anyone’s fault—they’re simply part of the birth and early development process.
The good news is that these issues are highly treatable with gentle chiropractic care. Early intervention often prevents these minor problems from becoming major developmental challenges as your child grows.
Initially, most babies benefit from visits 2-3 times per week for the first couple of weeks to establish proper spinal alignment and nervous system function. This frequency helps ensure the adjustments “hold” and become integrated into your baby’s developing system.
Once your baby shows consistent improvement, visits typically space out to weekly, then monthly as part of ongoing wellness care. Since your baby’s spine grows 50% in the first year, regular check-ups during this crucial period help prevent problems from developing.
The exact schedule depends on your baby’s specific needs, their response to care, and their developmental stage. Some babies need only a few visits for acute issues, while others benefit from ongoing supportive care throughout their first year.
Most insurance policies include some chiropractic benefits, and many cover pediatric care when medically necessary. Our office will verify your coverage ahead of time and explain exactly how your benefits apply to your baby’s care.
However, don’t let insurance limitations dictate your child’s healthcare decisions. Many families choose to invest in their baby’s spinal health regardless of coverage because they recognize the long-term value of proper nervous system development during these crucial early months.
We offer transparent pricing and payment options to make care accessible for families in Our Lady of Mercy and throughout Hudson County. Your baby’s health and your family’s peace of mind are investments that pay dividends for years to come.
