Your baby isn’t trying to be difficult. They’re trying to tell you something’s not right.
When birth trauma, feeding struggles, or developmental tension create discomfort, gentle pediatric chiropractic care addresses the root cause—not just the symptoms. Parents often see calmer babies, better sleep patterns, and easier feeding within the first few visits.
No more wondering if this is “just a phase.” No more feeling helpless when nothing else works. Just gentle, precise care that helps your child’s nervous system function the way it should—so your whole family can finally rest.
Dr. Paul Roses has spent over 30 years helping families in the Canal Crossing and greater Hudson County area find natural solutions for their children’s health challenges. A graduate of Life Chiropractic College, he’s built his practice on the simple principle that your child’s body has an incredible ability to heal—when interference is removed.
From our office in nearby Bayonne, we serve the growing Canal Crossing community, where thousands of new families are building their lives. We understand that parents in this vibrant, transit-oriented neighborhood need convenient, effective care that fits their busy schedules.
Our gentle approach has helped countless infants overcome colic, reflux, and feeding difficulties—giving parents the peace of mind they desperately need.
Your first visit starts with a thorough consultation about your child’s birth experience, current symptoms, and your concerns as a parent. Dr. Roses takes time to understand your baby’s unique situation—no rushing, no judgment.
Next comes a gentle examination designed specifically for infants. Using light touch and observation, we identify areas where tension or misalignment might be affecting your child’s comfort and development. The pressure used is no more than you’d use to check a tomato’s ripeness.
Treatment involves precise, gentle adjustments that restore proper nervous system function. There’s no twisting, popping, or uncomfortable positioning—just careful, therapeutic touch that helps your baby’s body work the way it should. Most infants find the process soothing, often falling asleep during treatment.

Absolutely. Pediatric chiropractic care uses extremely gentle techniques specifically designed for infants’ delicate anatomy.
The pressure used during adjustments is no more than what you’d use to gently check the ripeness of a tomato. There’s no twisting, cracking, or uncomfortable positioning—just precise, therapeutic touch that helps restore proper nervous system function. Dr. Roses has over 30 years of experience treating infants safely and effectively, with many babies actually falling asleep during treatment because they find it so soothing.
Many parents notice improvements within the first few visits, though every baby responds differently to care.
Some infants show immediate changes in their crying patterns, sleep quality, or feeding comfort after just one or two adjustments. Others may need several visits before significant improvements become apparent. The key is addressing the underlying nervous system dysfunction that’s contributing to your baby’s discomfort, rather than just managing symptoms.
Dr. Roses will discuss realistic expectations during your consultation based on your child’s specific situation, birth history, and current symptoms. Most families find that consistent, gentle care produces the lasting results they’re seeking.
Pediatric chiropractic care can help with a wide range of common childhood issues that stem from nervous system dysfunction.
These include colic, infant reflux, breastfeeding difficulties, sleep disturbances, ear infections, constipation, and torticollis (head preference to one side). Many of these conditions develop when birth trauma or developmental stress creates tension in the spine and nervous system, affecting how your baby’s body functions.
Beyond addressing specific symptoms, pediatric chiropractic care supports overall healthy development, improved immune function, and better nervous system coordination. This means your child may experience benefits beyond what initially brought you to our office—better sleep, easier digestion, and more comfortable movement patterns.
Even normal, natural births place significant stress on your baby’s delicate spine and nervous system.
During delivery, your baby’s body must twist, turn, and compress to navigate through the birth canal. This process can create subtle misalignments in the spine, particularly in the upper neck area, which houses critical nerve pathways. When interventions like forceps, vacuum extraction, or C-section are involved, the stress on your baby’s spine increases significantly.
These early misalignments can interfere with normal nervous system function, leading to difficulties with feeding, sleeping, digestion, and overall comfort. The good news is that gentle chiropractic adjustments can restore proper alignment and nervous system function, often resolving many of the issues parents worry about in those crucial early months.
Nighttime crying and sleep difficulties often indicate nervous system stress that becomes more apparent when your baby tries to relax.
During the day, movement and activity can temporarily mask underlying tension patterns. But at night, when your baby’s body attempts to settle into rest mode, spinal misalignments and nervous system dysfunction become more noticeable. This can manifest as increased crying, difficulty falling asleep, frequent waking, or seeming uncomfortable when lying flat.
Gentle chiropractic adjustments help restore proper nervous system balance, allowing your baby’s body to shift more easily into the parasympathetic “rest and digest” state necessary for quality sleep. Many parents report dramatic improvements in their child’s sleep patterns after just a few treatments, leading to better rest for the entire family.
Your baby’s first visit focuses on understanding their unique situation and beginning gentle, appropriate care.
Dr. Roses starts with a detailed consultation about your pregnancy, birth experience, and current concerns. He’ll ask about feeding patterns, sleep habits, crying episodes, and any other symptoms you’ve noticed. This information helps him understand potential sources of nervous system stress in your baby.
The examination involves gentle observation and light touch to assess spinal alignment, muscle tension, and nervous system function. If treatment is appropriate, Dr. Roses will use extremely gentle techniques—often while you hold your baby or while they’re lying comfortably. Most infants tolerate treatment very well, with many actually becoming calmer during the process. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your baby’s condition and a treatment plan designed specifically for their needs.
