Your baby sleeps through the night instead of crying for hours. Feeding becomes peaceful instead of a struggle. You watch your little one move their head freely, smile more often, and reach developmental milestones without the tension that’s been holding them back.
The constant worry lifts from your shoulders. You’re not walking on eggshells wondering when the next crying spell will start. Instead, you’re enjoying those precious early moments that every parent deserves to experience.
Research shows that 63% of babies achieve significant reduction in crying after chiropractic care. Many parents see improvements after just one gentle session, especially when spinal misalignments from birth are corrected.
Dr. Paul Roses has been serving families in Bayonne, NJ for two decades, understanding that your baby’s comfort is your top priority. His specialized training in pediatric chiropractic means he knows exactly how much pressure to use—no more than you’d apply checking the ripeness of an avocado.
We take time to explain what we’re finding and why your baby might be struggling. Whether it’s birth trauma from delivery, positioning issues from the womb, or developmental tension, we address the root cause rather than just managing symptoms.
The Bayonne community has come to rely on our gentle approach to infant care, especially when traditional methods haven’t provided the relief families desperately need.
Your first visit starts with Dr. Roses asking about your baby’s birth experience, feeding patterns, and specific concerns. He’ll want to know about delivery complications, whether your little one favors one side, or if certain positions seem to cause discomfort.
The examination is incredibly gentle. Dr. Roses checks your baby’s spine, neck mobility, and cranial alignment while you hold them or they lie comfortably on a specialized pillow. He’s looking for restrictions or misalignments that might be causing your baby’s symptoms.
Treatment involves the lightest possible touch to restore proper movement to restricted joints. Many babies actually relax or fall asleep during their adjustment. You’ll typically see Dr. Roses 2-3 times in the first couple of weeks to ensure the corrections hold and integrate properly, then we evaluate progress.

Infant colic affects up to 25% of babies in Bayonne, causing hours of inconsolable crying that leaves parents feeling helpless. We address the spinal restrictions that can interfere with your baby’s developing nervous system and digestive function.
Reflux and feeding difficulties often stem from misalignments in the upper neck that affect nerve communication to the stomach and esophagus. Gentle corrections can help your baby’s digestive system function more effectively, reducing spit-up and discomfort.
Torticollis, where your baby’s head tilts to one side, is increasingly common in our area due to positioning issues during pregnancy or birth trauma. Early intervention prevents long-term developmental delays and facial asymmetry that can result from untreated neck restrictions.
Pediatric chiropractic care is extremely safe when performed by a trained professional like Dr. Roses. The techniques we use for babies are completely different from adult adjustments—there’s no popping, cracking, or forceful movements.
Research published in peer-reviewed journals shows only seven minor effects reported from infant chiropractic care, with no serious adverse events. Dr. Roses uses pressure similar to what you’d apply when checking if fruit is ripe. Many babies actually relax or sleep during their treatment.
Chiropractors have been safely treating children for over 100 years. Dr. Roses has specialized training in pediatric techniques and understands the delicate nature of your baby’s developing spine and nervous system.
Many parents notice improvements within the first few visits, though every baby responds differently. Research shows that 63% of colicky babies achieve clinically significant reduction in crying time after chiropractic care.
Some babies experience relief after just one session, especially when their symptoms are related to birth trauma or spinal restrictions. More complex cases might take 2-4 weeks of gentle care to see substantial improvement.
The key is addressing the underlying nervous system interference early. Babies’ bodies are designed to heal quickly when restrictions are removed, which is why early intervention often produces faster results than waiting to see if they “grow out of it.”
Infant reflux occurs when stomach contents flow back into the esophagus, often due to an immature digestive system. However, spinal misalignments can interfere with the nerves that control digestive function, making reflux worse.
The vagus nerve, which helps regulate digestion, can be affected by restrictions in the upper neck area. These restrictions commonly occur during birth when significant force is applied to guide babies through the delivery process.
We use gentle techniques to restore proper alignment and nerve function, allowing your baby’s digestive system to work more effectively. Many parents report decreased spit-up and improved feeding comfort after we address these underlying restrictions.
This condition, called torticollis, affects about 1 in 250 babies and should be addressed promptly to prevent long-term complications. It’s often caused by positioning in the womb, birth trauma, or muscle tightness from delivery.
Left untreated, torticollis can lead to developmental delays, feeding difficulties, flat spots on the head, and permanent facial asymmetry. The sooner it’s addressed, the better the outcomes for your baby.
We have extensive experience treating torticollis using gentle spinal adjustments, cranial work, and soft tissue techniques. Case studies show that most babies see significant improvement within 3-4 treatment sessions when intervention begins early.
The ideal time for a baby’s first chiropractic evaluation is within the first few weeks of life, especially if there were any complications during delivery such as forceps use, vacuum extraction, or prolonged labor.
However, it’s never too late to have your baby evaluated. Signs that warrant a visit include persistent crying, difficulty feeding on one side, favoring head position to one direction, sleep disturbances, or general fussiness that doesn’t respond to typical comfort measures.
We recommend checkups at key developmental milestones—when babies start holding their heads up, sitting unsupported, crawling, and walking. These are critical windows when proper spinal alignment supports optimal nervous system development.
Pediatric chiropractic techniques are completely different from adult care. We use incredibly gentle fingertip pressure—about the same amount you’d use to test a tomato’s ripeness. There’s no twisting, popping, or forceful movements involved.
Babies’ spines are much more flexible and responsive than adults’, so very little force is needed to restore proper movement. The focus is on removing restrictions that interfere with normal development rather than treating specific injuries.
Treatment positions are also adapted for comfort—babies might be adjusted while you’re holding them, lying on their back on a special pillow, or in whatever position feels most secure for them. The entire approach prioritizes your baby’s comfort and safety above all else.
