Your nights don’t have to be filled with endless crying and worry. When traditional approaches fall short, pediatric chiropractic care offers something different – real results you can see within days, not months.
Most parents notice their baby sleeping longer stretches after just 2-3 gentle adjustments. The excessive crying that’s been wearing your family down starts to fade. Your little one becomes more comfortable during feedings, and that constant tension in their tiny body begins to release.
This isn’t about masking symptoms with medications. It’s about addressing the root cause – those subtle misalignments from birth that can interfere with your baby’s natural ability to digest, sleep, and simply be comfortable in their own skin.
Dr. Paul Roses has been serving families in Bergen-Lafayette and throughout Hudson County for over three decades. What sets him apart isn’t just his extensive experience – it’s his genuine calling to help children thrive naturally.
Originally aspiring to be a pediatrician, Dr. Roses discovered chiropractic care offered something more powerful: the ability to help a child’s body heal itself without drugs or invasive procedures. He’s worked with some of the most vulnerable infants, including babies at St. Clare’s Home for Children, where he witnessed remarkable improvements in their health and development.
Right here in Bergen-Lafayette, families trust Dr. Roses because they see results. Parents who’ve tried everything else finally find the gentle, effective care their babies need to be comfortable and healthy.
Your first visit starts with a thorough but gentle examination designed specifically for infants and children. Dr. Roses takes time to understand your baby’s birth history, feeding patterns, sleep challenges, and any concerns you’ve noticed.
The actual treatment is nothing like adult chiropractic adjustments. We’re talking about the lightest touch – sometimes no more pressure than you’d use to check if a tomato is ripe. These precise, gentle corrections help restore proper nerve communication between your baby’s brain and digestive system.
Most families see improvements within the first few visits. Your baby may sleep more peacefully that very night, or you might notice less fussiness during feeding times. We’ll track progress together and adjust the care plan as your little one grows and develops.

Our pediatric chiropractic care addresses the full spectrum of common childhood concerns that keep Bergen-Lafayette families up at night. From newborn colic and reflux to toddler sleep issues and growing pains, we provide gentle solutions that work with your child’s natural development.
Each treatment plan is tailored to your child’s specific needs and age. Newborns receive the gentlest possible care to address birth-related stress and digestive challenges. Older infants and toddlers benefit from techniques that support proper spinal development as they reach new milestones like sitting, crawling, and walking.
What makes our approach particularly effective for Bergen-Lafayette families is our understanding of local challenges. We know the stress of urban living, the demands on busy parents, and the importance of finding natural solutions that actually work. Our comprehensive care includes guidance on feeding, sleeping positions, and developmental activities that support your child’s overall wellness at home.
Absolutely. Pediatric chiropractic care uses completely different techniques than adult treatment. We’re talking about the gentlest possible touch – often no more pressure than you’d use to feel the pulse on your baby’s wrist.
A major study following nearly 700 pediatric patients through over 5,200 treatments found chiropractic care to be remarkably safe for children of all ages. Dr. Roses has been treating infants for over 30 years, including work with some of the most vulnerable babies at St. Clare’s Home for Children, with consistently positive outcomes.
The techniques are specifically modified for your baby’s size, weight, and developmental stage. There’s no twisting, popping, or forceful manipulation – just precise, gentle corrections that help restore proper nervous system function.
Most parents notice improvements within the first 2-3 visits, often within days of starting care. Research shows that 63% of colicky infants achieve clinically significant reduction in crying time with chiropractic treatment.
However, every baby is unique. Some infants sleep better after their very first adjustment, while others may need a few sessions before you see dramatic changes. What’s encouraging is that when chiropractic care works for colic, the improvements tend to be substantial and lasting.
We track your baby’s progress closely – monitoring sleep patterns, crying episodes, feeding comfort, and overall fussiness. This helps us adjust the treatment approach and gives you concrete evidence of improvement, which is especially important when you’re exhausted from dealing with a colicky baby.
Yes, and the results can be remarkable. Studies show that 9 out of 10 infants with reflux experience significant improvement with chiropractic care. Many babies show decreased reflux symptoms after just a single treatment session.
Infant reflux often stems from nerve interference that affects the coordination between the esophagus and stomach. Gentle spinal adjustments can restore proper nerve communication, helping the upper valve of the stomach develop better control and reducing the frequency and severity of reflux episodes.
Unlike medications that only mask symptoms, chiropractic care addresses the underlying nervous system dysfunction that may be contributing to your baby’s reflux. This approach often leads to more complete resolution of symptoms and helps prevent the condition from recurring as your child grows.
Chiropractic care is safe from birth onward. In fact, the earlier we can address any birth-related stress or misalignments, the better outcomes we typically see for the child’s overall development and health.
The birth process, even in uncomplicated deliveries, can create subtle misalignments in a baby’s spine and skull. These minor shifts can interfere with nervous system function, potentially contributing to feeding difficulties, sleep problems, excessive crying, and digestive issues.
Early chiropractic intervention – sometimes within days of birth – can help ensure your baby’s nervous system functions optimally from the start. This sets the foundation for better sleep, easier feeding, more comfortable digestion, and overall improved well-being during those crucial early months of development.
Pediatric chiropractic requires specialized training and completely different techniques. Children aren’t just small adults – their bones are still developing, their joints are more flexible, and their nervous systems are rapidly growing and changing.
The adjustments we use for babies and children involve minimal pressure and gentle, specific touches rather than the traditional adjustments adults receive. Sometimes the correction requires no more force than a light fingertip touch. We also use specialized tools and techniques designed specifically for young, developing bodies.
Dr. Roses has dedicated decades to understanding how to work safely and effectively with children of all ages. This expertise means your child receives care that’s not only gentle and comfortable but also precisely targeted to address the unique challenges that growing bodies face.
Your first visit focuses on understanding your baby’s unique situation and health history. We’ll discuss the pregnancy, birth experience, feeding patterns, sleep habits, and any specific concerns you’ve noticed since bringing your little one home.
The examination is thorough but completely gentle – we check for areas of tension, asymmetries in the skull or spine, and signs of nervous system stress. Most babies find the process soothing and often fall asleep during the assessment.
The actual treatment, if needed, involves the lightest possible touch to make precise corrections. Many parents are surprised by how gentle the process is. We’ll explain everything we’re doing and why, and you’re welcome to ask questions throughout the visit. Most importantly, we’ll create a care plan that makes sense for your family’s needs and your baby’s specific condition.
