Your baby stops arching their back during feeds. The constant spit-up after every feeding slows down, then stops. You’re not changing onesies five times a day or wondering if something’s seriously wrong.
Sleep becomes possible again—for both of you. Your baby isn’t waking up screaming every hour because of painful gas or that burning sensation in their throat. Feedings don’t end in tears anymore.
You get your confidence back. The anxiety that comes with watching your infant suffer starts to lift. You’re not Googling symptoms at 3 a.m. or second-guessing every decision. You see your baby comfortable, calm, and finally thriving—and that changes everything.
Dr. Paul Roses has been serving families in Hudson County since 1981. Before opening Roses Chiropractic, he cared for infants at St. Clare’s Home for Children—where he saw firsthand how gentle chiropractic care could transform a baby’s health.
We understand that LSP Industrial families deal with the same struggles parents face everywhere: sleepless nights, constant worry, and conflicting advice from every direction. When your baby is suffering, you need answers—not another “wait and see” approach.
Our focus has always been simple: remove the interference in your baby’s nervous system so their body can do what it’s designed to do—heal, grow, and thrive. No drugs. No waiting. Just safe, effective care that gets results.
First, Dr. Roses talks with you. He asks about your baby’s birth, feeding patterns, sleep, and when the reflux symptoms started. He’s looking for signs of nervous system imbalance—things like one-sided head turning, difficulty latching, or excessive crying that doesn’t match typical newborn fussiness.
Then comes the exam. It’s gentle—about the same pressure you’d use to test a tomato’s ripeness. He checks your baby’s spine and neck for areas where nerve interference might be causing digestive issues, muscle tension, or that painful gas that makes every feeding a battle.
The adjustment itself takes minutes. Most babies don’t cry. Many fall asleep. You’ll likely see some improvement within the first four visits—less spitting up, better sleep, easier feeds. Full resolution typically happens within three months, though every baby is different. You’re not locked into endless appointments. You’re working toward an outcome.

This isn’t symptom management. It’s addressing why your baby’s digestive system isn’t functioning the way it should. When the nerves controlling digestion, muscle tone, and gut motility are compressed or irritated—often from birth trauma or positioning in the womb—reflux, colic, and painful gas become the result.
In LSP Industrial, where about half of the 8,171 households with children include infants and toddlers, parents are looking for solutions that don’t involve medicating a two-month-old. Research shows that 83% of reflux medication prescriptions for infants are unjustified based on actual symptom scores. You want something that works—and doesn’t come with a list of side effects.
Our chiropractic care for infant reflux in LSP Industrial, NJ focuses on restoring proper nervous system function. That means better digestion, less irritation in the esophagus, reduced gas, and a calmer baby overall. You also get guidance on feeding positions, burping techniques, and other natural remedies that support your baby’s recovery. It’s comprehensive care, not a quick fix.
Most parents notice a difference within four visits. That might mean less spitting up, longer stretches of sleep, or a baby who isn’t screaming through every feeding.
Full resolution usually takes about three months of care. That timeline varies depending on how severe the reflux is, whether there were complications during birth, and how your baby responds to adjustments.
Some babies improve after a single visit. Others need consistent care over several weeks. Dr. Roses tracks progress closely and adjusts the treatment plan based on what’s actually happening—not a one-size-fits-all schedule.
Yes. The adjustment technique we use on infants is extremely gentle—nothing like what you’d see with an adult. It’s about the same pressure you’d use to check if fruit is ripe.
Research on chiropractic care for infants shows no serious adverse effects. A large-scale study reported only seven minor effects—things like temporary fussiness or sleepiness—across hundreds of cases.
Dr. Roses has decades of experience working with infants, including his time at St. Clare’s Home for Children. He knows how to assess whether your baby is a good candidate for care, and he’ll tell you if he thinks another approach is better. Safety isn’t negotiable.
Look for patterns beyond just spitting up. Does your baby always turn their head to one side? Do they arch their back during or after feeds? Are they difficult to calm even when they’re fed, changed, and held?
Painful gas that doesn’t improve with typical remedies, difficulty latching or breastfeeding on one side, and sleep that’s constantly disrupted by crying or discomfort can all point to nervous system issues.
If your baby seems uncomfortable in their own body—stiff, tense, or unable to relax—that’s worth investigating. These aren’t just “normal newborn things.” They’re often signs that something in the nervous system is interfering with how your baby’s body is supposed to work.
Frequent spit-up happens when the valve between the stomach and esophagus isn’t functioning properly. In infants, that valve—called the lower esophageal sphincter—is still developing. But when there’s nerve interference affecting the muscles and digestive organs, that valve stays too relaxed.
Birth trauma, even from normal deliveries, can cause misalignments in the upper neck and spine. Those misalignments put pressure on the nerves that control digestion. The result: reflux, regurgitation, and a baby who spits up constantly.
Chiropractic adjustments remove that nerve interference. When the nervous system can communicate properly with the digestive system, that valve starts working the way it should. Spit-up decreases. Feeds become easier. Your baby keeps more food down and starts gaining weight appropriately.
Infant reflux means stomach contents come back up—you see the spit-up. Silent reflux is when the contents come up but get swallowed back down, so there’s no visible spit-up. Your baby still feels the burn and discomfort, but it’s harder to diagnose because you’re not seeing it.
Colic is excessive crying—usually defined as more than three hours a day, three days a week. It often overlaps with reflux because the pain from acid irritation causes that inconsolable crying.
Here’s the tricky part: silent reflux looks a lot like colic, and both can be mistaken for a cow’s milk protein allergy or just “normal fussiness.” That’s why a thorough exam matters. We look at the whole picture—feeding behavior, sleep patterns, physical tension, and nervous system function—to figure out what’s actually going on.
Yes. Painful gas often comes from the same nerve interference that causes reflux. When the nerves controlling gut motility and digestion aren’t working right, gas gets trapped. Your baby can’t move it through their system, so it builds up and causes pain.
You’ll see them pull their legs up, go red in the face, or scream during what should be a normal bowel movement. That’s not just “part of being a newborn.” It’s a sign something isn’t functioning smoothly.
Gentle adjustments help restore normal nerve communication to the digestive tract. That allows gas to move through naturally instead of getting stuck. Most parents notice their baby passes gas more easily, has more regular bowel movements, and isn’t in constant discomfort. It’s one of the first things that improves with care.
