You know something’s wrong when your baby cries for hours despite your best efforts. The sleepless nights, the constant worry, the feeling that nothing you do helps – it’s exhausting for everyone.
Research shows that 63% of colicky infants experience significant improvement with gentle chiropractic care. Many parents notice their babies sleeping better, feeding more comfortably, and crying less after just a few visits.
Your baby’s nervous system controls everything – including digestion, sleep patterns, and comfort levels. When gentle adjustments remove interference, your little one’s body can finally function the way it’s supposed to.
Dr. Paul Roses originally wanted to be a pediatrician because he was passionate about helping children. After discovering chiropractic care during his studies at St. Peter’s University, he found his true calling – a way to help children heal naturally without drugs or invasive procedures.
Since graduating from Life Chiropractic College in 1981, Dr. Roses has dedicated his practice to serving families throughout Hudson County. He’s witnessed remarkable transformations in infants and children, from immediate colic relief to improved immune function.
Parents in Bates trust Dr. Roses because he understands that your child’s health affects your entire family’s wellbeing. His gentle approach and genuine care for children’s development make him the pediatric chiropractor parents recommend to their friends and family.
Your first visit starts with a thorough consultation about your baby’s symptoms, birth history, and daily patterns. We take time to understand exactly what you’ve been experiencing at home – the crying episodes, feeding challenges, and sleep disruptions.
Next comes a gentle examination designed specifically for infants. Using techniques as light as checking the ripeness of an avocado, we assess your baby’s spine and nervous system function. There’s no twisting, cracking, or uncomfortable positioning.
Treatment involves precise, gentle adjustments that remove nerve interference allowing your baby’s body to function properly. Many infants become calm and relaxed during treatment, often falling asleep before the visit ends. Most parents notice improvements in their baby’s comfort, feeding, and sleep patterns within the first few visits.

Pediatric chiropractic care addresses the unique needs of developing nervous systems. Birth trauma, even during normal deliveries, can create spinal misalignments that affect your baby’s ability to eat, sleep, and develop properly.
In Bates and throughout New Jersey, parents are discovering that many common infant issues – colic, reflux, breastfeeding difficulties, and sleep problems – often stem from nervous system interference that gentle chiropractic care can address.
We provide specialized care for infants dealing with excessive crying, feeding challenges, digestive issues, and developmental concerns. Each treatment plan is customized for your child’s specific needs, using only the gentlest techniques proven safe for newborns and infants. Parents receive guidance on positioning, feeding strategies, and developmental milestones to support their child’s optimal growth and comfort.
Absolutely. Pediatric chiropractic care is extremely safe when performed by an experienced practitioner trained in infant care. The techniques we use for babies are completely different from adult adjustments – using pressure similar to checking the ripeness of an avocado.
Dr. Roses has been safely treating infants since 1981, including his work with newborns at St. Clare’s Home for Children. There are no forceful manipulations, twisting, or the “popping” sounds associated with adult chiropractic care. Many babies actually become relaxed and fall asleep during treatment, which is a good sign that the care is comfortable and effective.
Many parents notice improvements within the first few visits, though every baby responds differently. Research shows that 63% of colicky infants experience clinically significant improvement with chiropractic care, and some babies show decreased symptoms after just a single treatment.
Most families see notable changes in their baby’s crying patterns, sleep quality, and feeding comfort within 3-4 visits. However, the timeline depends on factors like your baby’s birth experience, the severity of symptoms, and how long the issues have been present. We’ll discuss realistic expectations based on your specific situation during your consultation.
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 communication to the stomach and digestive organs, it can contribute to reflux symptoms and feeding challenges.
Gentle adjustments help restore proper nerve function, allowing your baby’s digestive system to work more efficiently. Many parents report their babies spit up less, feed more comfortably, and show improved weight gain after chiropractic care. The treatment also addresses issues that can affect breastfeeding success, including latching difficulties and tongue tie-related problems.
We help infants and children with a wide range of conditions related to nervous system function and spinal health. Common issues include colic, acid reflux, breastfeeding difficulties, sleep problems, ear infections, and developmental delays.
For older children, chiropractic care can address behavioral concerns, attention difficulties, frequent illnesses, headaches, and posture problems. Our focus is always on supporting your child’s natural ability to heal and develop properly by ensuring their nervous system functions without interference. Each child receives individualized care based on their specific needs and developmental stage.
Pediatric chiropractic requires specialized training and completely different techniques than adult care. The adjustments for babies and children are incredibly gentle, using fingertip pressure rather than any forceful movements. There’s no twisting of the neck or spine, and no “cracking” sounds.
Dr. Roses has extensive experience working specifically with infants and children, understanding their unique developmental needs and how their nervous systems differ from adults. The examination process, treatment techniques, and even the office environment are all designed with children’s comfort and safety in mind. Parents are always present and involved throughout the entire process.
Absolutely. We believe in collaborative care and encourage open communication with your child’s pediatrician and other healthcare providers. Many pediatricians now recognize the benefits of chiropractic care for infants and children and may recommend it as part of a comprehensive treatment approach.
Chiropractic care complements traditional medical care rather than replacing it. We’ll keep you informed about your child’s progress and can communicate with other healthcare providers when appropriate. If your child has serious medical conditions or needs emergency care, we’ll ensure you get the proper medical attention while continuing to support their overall health and development through gentle chiropractic care.
