You’ll notice the difference during feeding. Less arching. Less pulling away. Your baby actually relaxes instead of fighting through every ounce.
Sleep gets better too—for both of you. When your baby isn’t squirming and coughing through the night, everyone rests. You’re not constantly checking the monitor or wondering if laying them down will trigger another episode.
The constant spit-up slows down. You’re not going through six outfit changes before noon or scrubbing the couch again. Feeding becomes what it should be—nourishing and calm, not stressful and painful.
Your baby starts acting like a baby. More alert during wake times. Less fussy overall. You get to enjoy them instead of just managing their discomfort. That’s what happens when the nervous system interference gets addressed and their body can actually do what it’s designed to do.
Dr. Paul Roses originally wanted to be a pediatrician. That tells you something about where his heart has always been—helping kids feel better. He’s been in practice for over 30 years, and in that time, he’s adjusted babies with serious medical conditions, worked with infants in specialized care facilities, and helped thousands of families right here in Beacon, NJ find natural solutions.
This isn’t a side service. Pediatric care is central to what we do. Dr. Roses has been trained specifically in the gentle techniques required for infant adjustments—pressure so light you’d use it to check if a tomato is ripe.
Beacon families come to us because they want someone who actually understands what’s happening with their baby. Not someone who’s going to rush them out the door or dismiss their concerns. You get time, attention, and answers that make sense.
Your first visit starts with a conversation. We need to understand your baby’s birth story, feeding patterns, sleep habits, and exactly what symptoms you’re seeing. How often is your baby spitting up after every feeding? What does their discomfort look like? When did it start?
Then we do a gentle assessment. We’re checking for tension patterns in the neck, spine, and diaphragm—areas that often get stressed during birth, especially if labor was long or required intervention. We’re looking at how your baby moves, how they hold their head, and where their nervous system might be under stress.
The adjustment itself is extremely gentle. No twisting, no cracking, no popping. We use fingertip pressure on specific points to release tension and restore proper nerve function. Most babies relax during adjustments. Some even fall asleep.
You’ll usually see changes within the first few visits. Some parents notice improvements immediately—better sleep that same night or easier feeding the next day. For others, it takes a few sessions as the body adjusts. We’ll talk about what to expect and create a care plan based on what your baby actually needs, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Most parents in Beacon, NJ are told their baby will grow out of reflux. And while it’s true that symptoms often peak around 4 months and improve by 12 months, that doesn’t mean your baby has to suffer through it. Babies don’t grow out of tension patterns—they grow around them.
From a chiropractic perspective, infant reflux often ties back to nervous system interference. The vagus nerve controls digestion, and when there’s tension in the upper spine or neck—often from birth trauma—that nerve can’t do its job properly. The result? Painful gas in newborns, constant spit-up, arching, and discomfort that makes feeding and sleeping miserable for everyone.
Our approach addresses the root cause. We’re not masking symptoms with medication that blocks acid production. We’re releasing the physical tension that’s interfering with your baby’s ability to digest comfortably. When the spine is aligned and the nervous system can communicate clearly, the body handles feeding the way it’s supposed to.
You’ll also get guidance on positioning, feeding techniques, and signs your baby has a nervous system imbalance that might need attention. This is collaborative care—we work alongside your pediatrician, not instead of them. But we’re giving your baby’s body the chance to function without interference, which is something medication can’t do.
Most parents notice some level of change within the first three to four visits. That might look like longer stretches of sleep, less arching during feeding, or fewer spit-up episodes throughout the day.
But every baby is different. If your baby’s reflux is tied to significant birth trauma—like a long labor, vacuum extraction, or forceps delivery—it may take a bit longer for their nervous system to reset. We’re undoing tension patterns that have been there since birth, and that takes time.
A typical care plan for infant reflux in Beacon, NJ involves twice-weekly visits for the first few weeks, then we space out as symptoms improve. Some babies need a few weeks of care. Others benefit from a few months of adjustments as their nervous system matures. We’ll reassess regularly and adjust the plan based on what your baby’s body is telling us.
It feels like very light pressure—about the same amount you’d use to check the ripeness of a tomato. There’s no twisting, no cracking, and definitely no force involved.
We use our fingertips to apply gentle pressure to specific areas of the spine and neck where tension is present. Most babies don’t cry during adjustments. In fact, many relax immediately or even fall asleep because the release of tension feels good to them.
You’ll be right there the entire time, holding your baby or keeping them comfortable. If your baby does fuss, it’s usually because they’re being handled or moved, not because the adjustment itself is uncomfortable. The whole process takes just a few minutes, and you’ll see exactly what we’re doing and why.
You’ll see it in how your baby moves and reacts. Constant arching—especially during or after feeding—is a big one. So is difficulty turning their head to one side, or always preferring to look in the same direction.
Digestive issues are another sign. If your baby is spitting up after every feeding, struggling with painful gas, or seems uncomfortable no matter what position you put them in, that points to nervous system stress. Sleep problems—like only sleeping in short stretches, waking up uncomfortable, or needing to be held upright constantly—also indicate something’s off.
Excessive fussiness that doesn’t match typical newborn behavior is worth paying attention to. If your baby seems tense, has trouble relaxing, or cries in a way that sounds painful rather than just communicative, their nervous system may be in overdrive. These patterns often show up after difficult births, but even straightforward deliveries can create tension that affects how your baby’s body functions.
Yes. Pediatric chiropractic care, when performed by someone trained in infant adjustments, is extremely safe. The techniques we use for babies are completely different from adult chiropractic care—gentler, more specific, and tailored to their developing bodies.
Studies on chiropractic care for infant reflux show that parents report improvements in symptoms with no serious adverse effects. The pressure we use is so light that it couldn’t cause harm. We’re not manipulating or forcing anything—we’re releasing tension that’s already there.
Dr. Roses has over 40 years of experience and has worked with infants in medical settings, including babies with serious health conditions. Safety is the foundation of everything we do. If we ever see something during an assessment that’s outside our scope or requires medical attention, we’ll refer you to the appropriate provider. This is about giving your baby the best care possible, and sometimes that means working as part of a larger team.
Yes, because they often stem from the same root issue—nervous system stress and tension in the spine. Colic and reflux natural remedies that address the physical component tend to help both conditions because you’re treating the cause, not just the symptoms.
Colic is typically defined as excessive crying in an otherwise healthy baby. But “excessive” doesn’t tell you why they’re crying. Often, it’s because they’re uncomfortable—gas, reflux, tension in the neck or jaw from birth, or an overstimulated nervous system that can’t calm down.
When we adjust babies dealing with both colic and reflux, we’re looking at the whole picture. Where is tension stored? How is their vagus nerve functioning? Are they able to relax, or is their body stuck in a stress response? Addressing those physical imbalances often reduces both the reflux symptoms and the crying episodes. Parents in Beacon, NJ frequently tell us their baby became calmer overall, not just during feeding times.
Some babies show immediate improvement—they sleep longer that night or feed more comfortably at the next meal. Others take a few sessions before you notice significant changes. Both responses are normal.
Occasionally, babies are a little fussier for a day or two after the first adjustment. That’s not a bad sign—it means their body is processing the change and releasing stored tension. Think of it like the soreness you might feel after a good massage. It passes quickly.
Most parents report that their baby seems more relaxed after adjustments. You might notice better head movement, less arching, or easier burping. Keep track of what you see—how feeding goes, how sleep changes, how often spit-up happens—so we can assess progress together. Every baby responds at their own pace, and we’ll adjust the care plan based on what your baby needs as we go.
