Your baby doesn’t have to suffer through months of colic, reflux, or sleepless nights. When traditional approaches aren’t working, there’s a natural solution that’s been helping families for over 100 years.
Research shows that 94% of colicky babies experience significant improvement with gentle chiropractic care. That means better sleep for your baby, better feeding, and finally some peace for your family.
The difference isn’t just in the crying—it’s in watching your little one relax, latch properly, and actually enjoy being a baby instead of fighting discomfort all day long.
Dr. Dan Roses comes from a family of New Jersey pediatric chiropractors and is living proof of the benefits of chiropractic care from birth. This isn’t just his profession—it’s his family legacy.
Our office was designed with families in mind. We have a dedicated kids’ corner, a private nursing room for new moms, and treatment areas that feel welcoming rather than clinical.
Palus Hook families choose us because we understand that your baby’s comfort is your priority. We’ve been helping local families navigate those challenging early months with gentle, effective care that actually works.
Your first visit starts with understanding your baby’s birth story and current challenges. We’ll discuss feeding patterns, sleep habits, and any concerns you have about fussiness or discomfort.
The examination is incredibly gentle—we use pressure similar to checking if an avocado is ripe. We’re looking for areas where your baby’s spine might be affecting their nervous system function, particularly around digestion and comfort.
Treatment involves specific, light adjustments that help restore proper nerve communication. Most babies find this relaxing, and many parents notice improvements in feeding and fussiness within just a few visits. We’ll also provide guidance on positioning and feeding techniques that support your baby’s healing.

Our pediatric chiropractic care addresses the root causes of infant discomfort, not just the symptoms. We focus on the connection between your baby’s spine and their developing nervous system.
For Palus Hook families, this means access to specialized care that understands the unique stressors of birth and early development. Whether your baby was delivered via C-section, had a difficult birth, or is simply struggling with typical newborn challenges, we have the expertise to help.
Each treatment plan is individualized because every baby is different. Some infants need help with latching and feeding, others with sleep and digestion. We address what your specific child needs to thrive, not what a textbook says they should need.
Absolutely. Pediatric chiropractic care has been safely practiced for over 100 years, and research shows no serious adverse effects when performed by trained professionals.
The techniques we use for infants are completely different from adult chiropractic care. We use incredibly gentle pressure—similar to what you’d use to check if fruit is ripe. Many babies actually find the adjustments relaxing and often fall asleep during treatment.
Dr. Roses has specialized training in pediatric care and comes from a family of pediatric chiropractors. We understand infant anatomy and development, which means we know exactly how to provide safe, effective care for your little one.
Most parents notice some improvement within the first few visits, though every baby responds differently. Research shows that 94% of colicky babies experience significant improvement with chiropractic care.
Some babies show immediate changes in their demeanor and comfort level right after their first adjustment. Others may need a few sessions before you see major improvements in sleep patterns and feeding comfort.
What’s important is that we’re addressing the underlying nervous system issues that contribute to colic, not just managing symptoms. This means the relief tends to be lasting rather than temporary, giving your whole family the peace you’ve been looking for.
Yes, chiropractic care can be very effective for infant reflux and feeding difficulties. The nervous system controls digestion, and when spinal misalignments interfere with nerve signals, it can affect how the stomach and esophagus function.
Many babies experience reflux because the sphincter between the esophagus and stomach isn’t functioning properly due to nervous system interference. Gentle adjustments help restore proper nerve communication, which often leads to improved digestion and less spit-up.
We also address issues that affect latching and suckling. Birth trauma can impact the muscles and nerves involved in feeding, and chiropractic care helps restore normal function so your baby can nurse more effectively and comfortably.
Your first visit will focus on understanding your baby’s health history and current challenges. We’ll ask about the birth process, feeding patterns, sleep habits, and any specific concerns you have about fussiness or discomfort.
The examination is completely gentle and non-invasive. We’ll assess your baby’s spine and nervous system using light touch and observation. You’ll be present throughout the entire process, and we encourage you to ask questions.
If treatment is appropriate, we’ll explain exactly what we’re doing and why. Most babies tolerate adjustments very well—many become calmer and more relaxed during and after treatment. We’ll also provide guidance on feeding positions and other techniques you can use at home to support your baby’s comfort.
Pediatric chiropractic requires specialized training and completely different techniques than adult care. We’ve spent additional hours studying pediatric spine development, nervous system maturation, and the unique challenges babies face.
The pressure we use is incredibly light—nothing like what you might imagine from adult chiropractic adjustments. We’re working with developing systems that respond to very gentle input, so our approach is much more subtle and specific.
We also understand the emotional needs of families during this challenging time. Our office is designed to be welcoming for parents and babies, and we take time to educate you about what’s happening and what you can expect as your baby heals and develops.
The sooner, the better. We recommend that both mom and baby have a chiropractic checkup as soon as possible after birth, especially if there were any complications during delivery or if your baby is showing signs of discomfort.
Signs that your baby might benefit from chiropractic care include excessive crying, difficulty latching or feeding, frequent spit-up, sleep problems, or general fussiness that doesn’t respond to typical comfort measures.
Even if your baby seems fine, the birth process can be traumatic for infants, and early intervention can prevent problems from developing. Many Palus Hook families choose to have their babies checked as a preventive measure, similar to well-baby visits with your pediatrician.
