You know that feeling when your baby finally stops crying and drifts off to sleep? That’s what we’re working toward every single day. When your infant’s spine is properly aligned, their nervous system can do what it’s designed to do—help them digest comfortably, sleep soundly, and develop without the constant discomfort that keeps everyone awake.
Most parents who bring their babies to us have tried everything else first. You’ve walked the halls at 3 AM, tried different formulas, adjusted feeding positions, and maybe even considered medications you weren’t comfortable giving your newborn. The relief in parents’ faces when they see their baby finally comfortable is exactly why we do this work.
Research shows that 9 out of 10 infants experience significant improvement in reflux symptoms with gentle chiropractic care. Your baby’s fussiness isn’t something you just have to endure—it’s often a signal that something needs attention, and that something might be simpler to address than you think.
At Roses Chiropractic, we’ve been helping Pavonia families navigate those challenging early months when babies struggle with colic, reflux, and feeding difficulties. We’re not just treating symptoms—we’re looking at how your child’s developing nervous system affects everything from sleep patterns to digestive comfort.
Our approach is different from what you might expect if you’ve only seen adult chiropractic care. There’s no cracking or popping. The pressure we use on infants is about the same as you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato. Yet this gentle touch can make a profound difference in how your baby feels and functions.
Hudson County families choose us because we take the time to understand what’s really happening with your child. We work alongside your pediatrician, not instead of them, to give your baby the best possible start in life.
Your first visit starts with us listening to your story. We want to understand your baby’s birth experience, current symptoms, and what you’ve already tried. Many parents are surprised by how much the birth process can affect a newborn’s spine and nervous system, even in completely normal deliveries.
During the examination, we use incredibly gentle techniques specifically designed for infants. We’re looking for areas where tiny misalignments might be interfering with nerve function. These misalignments can affect everything from how well your baby can latch during breastfeeding to how efficiently their digestive system processes milk.
The adjustment itself takes just a few minutes and uses the lightest possible touch. Most babies actually relax during treatment, and many parents notice improvements in feeding, sleeping, or fussiness within the first few visits. We’ll also give you practical tips for positioning, feeding, and daily care that support your baby’s comfort between visits.

Beyond colic and reflux relief, we address the full spectrum of issues that can affect infants and growing children. Breastfeeding difficulties often stem from neck tension that makes it hard for babies to turn their heads or maintain a proper latch. Ear infections, which are incredibly common in Hudson County’s changing weather, can sometimes be reduced when proper drainage is restored through gentle spinal adjustments.
As your child grows, we continue to support their development through crawling, walking, and those inevitable tumbles that come with learning to move through the world. Poor posture from heavy backpacks, sports injuries, and the forward head posture that comes from too much screen time are all issues we help Pavonia families address before they become bigger problems.
What makes our care unique is our understanding of how children’s bodies work differently from adults. Their bones are still developing, their nervous systems are rapidly changing, and their bodies have an incredible capacity for healing when given the right support. We work with this natural healing ability, not against it.
Absolutely. Pediatric chiropractic care has been practiced safely for over 100 years, with techniques specifically modified for infants and children. The pressure we use on newborns is incredibly gentle—about the same force you’d use to check if a tomato is ripe.
Studies following nearly 700 pediatric patients through more than 5,200 treatments show excellent safety records. We’re trained in specialized pediatric techniques that are completely different from adult chiropractic care. There’s no twisting, cracking, or popping involved when we treat babies.
Many parents are surprised to learn that significant spinal stress can occur during even normal births. The process of moving through the birth canal, especially during longer labors or when interventions like forceps or vacuum extraction are used, can create misalignments that affect how your baby’s nervous system functions. Gentle correction of these issues often provides relief that parents have been seeking for weeks or months.
Most parents notice some improvement within the first few visits, though every baby responds at their own pace. Research shows that 94% of colicky infants experience significant improvement with chiropractic care, often seeing a 67% reduction in crying time—much better than the 38% improvement typically seen with anti-gas medications.
Some babies respond immediately after their first adjustment, relaxing visibly and sleeping better that same night. Others may need a few treatments before you see the changes you’re hoping for. What we typically see is gradual improvement in sleep patterns, feeding comfort, and overall fussiness over the course of 2-3 weeks.
The key is consistency. Babies’ spines are still developing, so gentle, regular adjustments help maintain proper alignment as they grow. We’ll work with you to determine the right treatment schedule based on your baby’s specific needs and response to care.
Yes, gentle chiropractic adjustments can be very effective for infant reflux. Research demonstrates that 9 out of 10 infants with gastroesophageal reflux experience significant symptom improvement with chiropractic care. The connection lies in how spinal alignment affects nervous system function.
When there are misalignments in your baby’s upper spine, it can interfere with the nerve signals that control the muscles responsible for keeping stomach contents where they belong. By gently correcting these misalignments, we often see improvements in the strength and coordination of the valve at the top of the stomach.
Many parents notice their babies spit up less frequently, seem more comfortable after feeding, and are able to keep more milk down. This isn’t just about comfort—better nutrition absorption means better growth and development. We also work with you on positioning techniques and feeding strategies that support your baby’s digestive system between treatments.
Not at all. We believe in collaborative care and often work alongside your pediatrician to give your baby the most comprehensive support possible. Many pediatricians in the Hudson County area are familiar with the benefits of gentle chiropractic care for infants and may even recommend it as part of a treatment plan.
We encourage you to keep your pediatrician informed about the chiropractic care your baby is receiving. In fact, we’re happy to communicate with your child’s doctor about treatment progress and coordinate care when appropriate. This team approach often leads to better outcomes for your baby.
Chiropractic care is a natural, drug-free approach that complements traditional medical care rather than replacing it. If your pediatrician has prescribed medications or other treatments, we’ll work around those recommendations and focus on supporting your baby’s natural healing processes through gentle spinal adjustments and nervous system optimization.
We help with a wide range of issues that affect infants and growing children. For newborns, we commonly see colic, reflux, breastfeeding difficulties, sleep disturbances, and torticollis (neck stiffness that causes head tilting). Many of these issues stem from spinal stress that occurs during the birth process.
As children grow, we address ear infections, which are often related to drainage issues that can be improved with gentle adjustments. We also help with developmental concerns, posture problems, growing pains, and injuries from falls or sports activities. Many parents are surprised to learn that issues like bedwetting, constipation, and even some behavioral concerns can sometimes be related to spinal misalignments affecting nervous system function.
Our approach is always gentle and age-appropriate. We use different techniques for a 2-week-old baby than we do for a 10-year-old child. The goal is always to support your child’s natural ability to heal and develop properly by ensuring their spine and nervous system are functioning optimally.
There are several signs that suggest your baby might benefit from gentle chiropractic evaluation. Excessive crying, especially if it follows the “rule of threes” (crying for more than 3 hours a day, more than 3 days a week), is often a signal that something needs attention. Difficulty breastfeeding, frequent spitting up, trouble sleeping, or seeming uncomfortable when lying on their back are also common indicators.
Physical signs include favoring one side when nursing, difficulty turning their head in both directions, or seeming to have one shoulder higher than the other. If your baby arches their back frequently, has trouble settling down even when fed and changed, or seems to have excessive gas that doesn’t improve with typical remedies, a chiropractic evaluation might be helpful.
Many parents bring their babies in simply because the birth was particularly long, involved interventions like forceps or vacuum extraction, or required a C-section. Even normal births can create spinal stress, and early evaluation can prevent minor issues from becoming bigger problems as your child grows and develops.
