Your baby finally sleeps through the night. Feeding becomes peaceful instead of a battle. The endless crying stops, and you see your little one comfortable and content for the first time in weeks.
This isn’t wishful thinking—it’s what happens when the root cause of your baby’s discomfort gets addressed. Research shows 9 out of 10 infants experience significant improvement in reflux symptoms with pediatric chiropractic care. Many parents see changes after just one visit.
When your baby’s spine is properly aligned, their nervous system can do what it’s designed to do: help their little body function the way it should. No medications, no side effects, just gentle adjustments that work with your baby’s natural healing ability.
Dr. Paul Roses brings over 30 years of experience helping families in Hudson County, with a background that started with wanting to be a pediatrician. He comes from a family of chiropractors and has been adjusted since birth himself—he’s living proof of what gentle chiropractic care can do.
Van Vorst Park families choose our practice because we understand what you’re going through. This historic neighborhood, established in 1835, has always been about community and caring for each other’s children. We’ve been part of that tradition, helping local families find natural solutions when traditional approaches fall short.
You won’t find rushed appointments or one-size-fits-all treatments here. Every baby is different, and your little one deserves care that’s as unique as they are.
Your first visit starts with understanding exactly what’s happening with your baby. We’ll discuss their birth experience, current symptoms, and what you’ve already tried. No judgment—just listening.
The examination is completely gentle. We’re looking for subtle misalignments that might have occurred during birth or early development. These tiny shifts can interfere with your baby’s nervous system and digestive function.
Treatment involves incredibly light pressure—about the same amount you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato. Your baby typically lies on your chest during adjustments, and many parents are surprised by how calm their little one becomes. Some babies even fall asleep during treatment.
Most families notice changes within the first few visits. Better sleep, easier feeding, less crying. We’ll work together to create a care plan that gets your baby comfortable and keeps them that way.

Your little one receives care specifically designed for their developing body. Unlike adult chiropractic techniques, pediatric adjustments use subtle movements and gentle pressure that work with your baby’s delicate anatomy.
Van Vorst Park families appreciate that we take time with each visit. Your baby won’t be rushed through an assembly line of treatments. We understand that this neighborhood values quality care—the same way residents have maintained their beautiful Victorian brownstones and kept Van Vorst Park itself as one of Jersey City’s most pristine community spaces.
We also provide guidance on positioning, feeding techniques, and other natural approaches that support your baby’s comfort between visits. You’ll leave with practical tools, not just temporary relief. This comprehensive approach helps Van Vorst Park families build healthy foundations that last well beyond infancy.
Yes, pediatric chiropractic care is extremely safe when performed by a trained professional. The techniques we use for babies are completely different from adult adjustments—we use gentle, light pressure about the same as you’d use to check if a tomato is ripe.
A 2008 study followed 697 pediatric patients who received over 5,200 treatments with excellent safety results. Your baby can be adjusted safely from the day they’re born. The adjustments are so gentle that many babies actually fall asleep during treatment.
We modify every technique specifically for your baby’s size, weight, and developmental stage. There’s no twisting, popping, or forceful movements—just precise, gentle touches that help restore proper alignment and nervous system function.
Many parents notice changes after just one visit, though every baby responds differently. Research shows that 94% of babies with colic show positive improvement with chiropractic care, often within the first few treatments.
Some babies sleep better that same night after their first adjustment. Others may take a few visits before you see significant changes. What’s encouraging is that studies comparing chiropractic care to anti-gas medications found that 67% of babies treated with chiropractic cried less, compared to only 38% who improved with medication.
The key is addressing the root cause rather than just managing symptoms. Once your baby’s spine is properly aligned and their nervous system can function without interference, their natural healing ability takes over. Most families see meaningful improvement within the first week of care.
Pediatric chiropractic care can help with many common infant issues including colic, reflux, sleep disturbances, feeding difficulties, and excessive crying. These problems often stem from subtle spinal misalignments that occur during birth or early development.
Research specifically shows that chiropractic care effectively reduces gastroesophageal reflux symptoms in 9 out of 10 infants. We also see excellent results with babies who have trouble latching for breastfeeding, those with torticollis (neck tightness), and infants who seem uncomfortable lying in certain positions.
The nervous system controls digestion, sleep patterns, and comfort levels. When spinal misalignments interfere with nerve function, it can affect all these areas. Gentle adjustments remove that interference, allowing your baby’s body to function as it should naturally.
Common signs include excessive crying (especially after feeding), difficulty sleeping, problems with breastfeeding or bottle feeding, frequent spit-up or reflux symptoms, and general fussiness that doesn’t respond to typical soothing methods.
You might also notice your baby consistently turns their head to one side, has trouble with tummy time, or seems uncomfortable when lying flat. Some babies arch their backs excessively or have difficulty settling down even when all their basic needs are met.
If traditional approaches like different feeding positions, gas drops, or changes in formula haven’t provided relief, chiropractic care offers a natural alternative. Many Van Vorst Park parents come to us when they’ve tried everything else and are looking for a solution that addresses the underlying cause rather than just masking symptoms.
Unlike medications that treat symptoms, we address the root cause of your baby’s discomfort. Gentle spinal adjustments remove interference in the nervous system, allowing your baby’s body to heal naturally without side effects or dependency on drugs.
Our approach is also completely individualized. Every baby is examined thoroughly to identify their specific areas of concern. We don’t use a one-size-fits-all protocol—your baby’s care plan is designed specifically for their unique needs and developmental stage.
Dr. Roses brings over 30 years of experience and originally wanted to be a pediatrician before discovering chiropractic. This background gives him unique insight into both traditional pediatric care and natural healing approaches. You get the best of both worlds: medical understanding combined with gentle, effective chiropractic techniques.
The length of care depends on your baby’s specific condition and how they respond to treatment. Some babies need only a few visits to resolve acute issues like colic or feeding problems. Others benefit from ongoing supportive care as they grow and develop.
Most families see significant improvement within the first 2-3 weeks of care. Once your baby’s symptoms resolve, we typically recommend periodic check-ups to ensure proper development and catch any issues before they become problems.
Think of it like preventive care for your baby’s spine and nervous system. Just as you wouldn’t wait until your baby has cavities to start dental care, maintaining proper spinal alignment from an early age supports optimal health and development throughout childhood. Many Van Vorst Park families continue with wellness care because they see how much better their children feel and function with regular chiropractic support.
