When your baby cries for hours and nothing seems to help, you’re not imagining the heartbreak. You’re living it every single day.
Here’s what changes when the underlying tension gets addressed. Your baby sleeps longer stretches. Feeding becomes easier, not a battle. Those desperate 3 AM moments turn into peaceful nights where everyone actually rests.
The difference isn’t magic—it’s about removing the interference that’s keeping your baby’s body from doing what it naturally knows how to do. When that happens, comfort follows.
Dr. Paul Roses has been caring for Central Avenue families for over 30 years, originally drawn to help children after wanting to become a pediatrician. His experience includes providing care for some of the most vulnerable babies, including those at St. Clare’s Home for Children.
What sets our practice apart is the combination of extensive experience with genuine care. Dr. Roses has witnessed immediate relief in cases where traditional approaches fell short. He’s seen babies stop crying mid-adjustment and watched families finally get the sleep they desperately needed.
Our focus isn’t just on your baby’s immediate comfort—it’s on supporting their development so they can thrive from the very beginning.
Your first visit starts with understanding your baby’s specific situation—birth experience, current challenges, and what you’ve already tried. No judgment, just listening.
The examination is thorough but gentle. Dr. Roses checks for areas where your baby might be holding tension from birth or positioning. This isn’t guesswork—it’s about finding exactly where the interference is happening.
The adjustment itself uses pressure so light you’d use more force testing if a tomato is ripe. Most babies relax immediately, and many parents see changes in feeding, sleeping, or comfort within the first few visits. Our goal is always to support your baby’s natural ability to heal and develop properly.

Pediatric chiropractic care addresses the unique needs of developing nervous systems. In Central Avenue and throughout Hudson County, parents are discovering how gentle adjustments can resolve issues that seemed impossible to fix.
Our service includes assessment of spinal alignment, nervous system function, and developmental milestones. For local families, this means addressing concerns that are common in our area—from birth trauma related to delivery complications to the positioning issues that develop as babies spend time in car seats during commutes.
Each treatment plan is designed around your baby’s specific needs and your family’s goals. Our care works alongside your pediatrician’s guidance, never replacing medical care but enhancing your baby’s natural healing abilities.
Yes, when performed by a trained pediatric chiropractor, infant chiropractic care is extremely safe. Research consistently shows minimal risk of adverse effects, with most studies reporting only mild, temporary fussiness in rare cases.
The techniques we use for babies are completely different from adult adjustments. The pressure applied is comparable to what you’d use to test the ripeness of fruit—incredibly gentle and precise. Dr. Roses uses specialized training to ensure every adjustment is appropriate for your baby’s delicate developing body.
Over 30 years of practice, including work with the most vulnerable infants, has demonstrated that proper pediatric chiropractic care is not only safe but often provides relief when other approaches haven’t worked.
Babies can safely receive chiropractic care within their first few weeks of life, and many families choose to have their newborn evaluated shortly after birth. The birthing process, even when uncomplicated, can create tension and misalignments in a baby’s delicate spine and nervous system.
Early intervention is often most effective because it addresses issues before they become established patterns. Dr. Roses has treated babies as young as a few days old, with the youngest patient being just four days old.
The key is working with a chiropractor who has extensive experience with infants. The examination and treatment are completely adapted to your newborn’s needs, ensuring their comfort and safety throughout the process.
Pediatric chiropractic care can help with a wide range of common infant issues. Research shows significant success with colic relief, with 9 out of 10 babies experiencing improvement. Reflux symptoms improve in 90% of cases, often reducing spit-up and feeding discomfort.
Other conditions that respond well include breastfeeding difficulties, sleep disturbances, ear infections, constipation, and torticollis (neck tension that causes head tilting). Many parents also notice improvements in their baby’s overall comfort, mood, and developmental milestones.
Our care works by removing interference in the nervous system, allowing the body to function more effectively. This isn’t about treating diseases—it’s about supporting your baby’s natural ability to heal and develop properly.
Most babies begin showing improvement within the first few visits, though the total number depends on your child’s specific situation and how long the issues have been present. Some families notice changes after a single adjustment, while others see gradual improvement over several weeks.
For acute issues like colic or reflux, you might see significant relief within 3-5 visits. Developmental concerns or long-standing tension patterns may require ongoing care to support proper growth and function.
Dr. Roses creates individualized care plans based on your baby’s needs and your family’s goals. Our focus is always on achieving lasting results, not prolonging treatment. Regular check-ins ensure your baby continues developing optimally as they grow.
The adjustments themselves don’t cause pain—the techniques are designed to be comfortable and soothing. However, some babies may cry during the visit simply because they’re in an unfamiliar environment or being held in a new position.
Most babies actually relax during and after treatment. Many fall asleep on the treatment table or become noticeably calmer. Parents often comment on how peaceful their baby appears following an adjustment.
If your baby does cry, it’s typically brief and related to the newness of the experience rather than discomfort from the treatment itself. Dr. Roses takes time to help both you and your baby feel comfortable throughout the entire process, ensuring the experience is as positive as possible.
Several signs suggest your baby might benefit from chiropractic evaluation. Persistent crying or colic, difficulty with breastfeeding or bottle feeding, frequent spit-up or reflux symptoms, and trouble sleeping are common indicators.
Physical signs include favoring one side when nursing, difficulty turning their head in both directions, arching their back frequently, or seeming uncomfortable when lying flat. Some babies also show signs of tension through clenched fists, stiff movements, or resistance to tummy time.
Trust your instincts as a parent. If something feels “off” with your baby’s comfort or development, or if traditional approaches aren’t providing relief, a pediatric chiropractic evaluation can help determine if spinal or nervous system issues are contributing to your baby’s challenges.
