You’ve tried everything. The swaddling, the white noise, the endless rocking. Your baby still cries for hours, and you’re exhausted. Here’s what changes when your infant’s spine is properly aligned: crying episodes become shorter and less intense. Sleep stretches get longer—for both of you.
Gas and reflux symptoms ease as your baby’s nervous system relaxes. Feeding becomes less stressful. You start to see glimpses of the content, peaceful baby you knew was in there all along.
Research shows that 94% of parents report improvement in their baby’s colic symptoms with gentle chiropractic care. No medications. No invasive procedures. Just careful, precise adjustments that help your baby’s body function the way it should.
We’ve been serving families in Droyer’s Point and throughout Jersey City with specialized pediatric care. Dr. Rose understands that treating infants requires different techniques, additional training, and a gentle approach that puts both babies and parents at ease.
Located in the heart of this growing residential community, we’ve helped countless Droyer’s Point families navigate those challenging early months. From the Society Hill developments to the waterfront areas, local parents know they can find compassionate, expert care close to home.
Our office is designed with families in mind—quiet spaces for feeding, comfortable seating for tired parents, and a calm environment where your baby can receive the gentle care they need.
Your first visit begins with a detailed conversation about your baby’s birth experience, current symptoms, and your concerns as a parent. Dr. Rose examines your infant using gentle, hands-on techniques that feel more like a massage than a traditional adjustment.
The actual treatment involves light finger pressure on specific areas of your baby’s spine and neck. Most infants sleep through the entire process—it’s that gentle. You’ll typically hold your baby during the adjustment, which helps them stay calm and comfortable.
Many parents notice changes immediately: their baby relaxes, crying decreases, or feeding improves. Others see gradual improvement over several visits. Each baby responds differently, but the goal remains the same—helping your child’s nervous system function properly so their body can heal and develop naturally.

Yes, chiropractic care is extremely safe for newborns when performed by a trained pediatric chiropractor. The techniques we use for infants are completely different from adult adjustments—they involve gentle finger pressure equivalent to the pressure you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato.
Chiropractors have been safely treating children for over 100 years, and research shows no adverse effects when proper techniques are used. Most babies actually sleep through their adjustments because the process is so gentle and soothing.
Dr. Rose has specialized training in pediatric chiropractic techniques and understands the delicate nature of infant spines. Our goal is never to force movement, but rather to gently encourage the body’s natural healing processes.
Many parents notice some improvement after the first few visits, though every baby responds differently. Research shows that 63% of infants achieve a clinically significant reduction in crying time (at least one hour less per day) with chiropractic care.
Some babies show immediate changes—they may relax during the treatment, sleep better that night, or have less intense crying episodes. Others improve gradually over several weeks of care. The key is consistency and allowing your baby’s nervous system time to respond.
Most treatment plans involve 2-3 visits per week initially, with the frequency decreasing as symptoms improve. Dr. Rose will discuss realistic expectations based on your baby’s specific situation and symptoms during your first visit.
While the exact cause of colic isn’t fully understood, many cases are related to nervous system dysfunction caused by spinal misalignments that occur during birth. The birthing process—whether vaginal or cesarean—can create stress on an infant’s delicate spine and nervous system.
When the spine is misaligned, it can interfere with nerve function, affecting digestion, muscle tension, and the body’s ability to self-regulate. This can manifest as excessive crying, gas, reflux, and sleep disturbances.
Gentle chiropractic adjustments help restore proper spinal alignment, allowing the nervous system to function normally. This often leads to improved digestion, better sleep patterns, and a calmer, more content baby. Our treatment addresses the root cause rather than just managing symptoms.
Babies can safely receive chiropractic care within days of birth. In fact, many pediatric chiropractors recommend having newborns checked shortly after delivery, especially if there were complications during birth such as prolonged labor, vacuum extraction, forceps delivery, or cesarean section.
The earlier spinal misalignments are addressed, the better. Newborn adjustments are incredibly gentle and can help prevent many common infant issues from developing. Many hospitals and birthing centers now recognize the value of early chiropractic evaluation.
Dr. Rose has experience treating babies as young as a few days old. The techniques we use are specifically designed for each developmental stage, ensuring your baby receives appropriate care whether they’re a newborn or several months old.
Many insurance plans do cover chiropractic care for children, though coverage varies by provider and plan type. We work with most major insurance companies and can help verify your benefits before treatment begins.
Even if your insurance doesn’t fully cover pediatric chiropractic care, many parents find the investment worthwhile given the significant improvement in their family’s quality of life. The cost of a few chiropractic visits often pales in comparison to sleepless nights, missed work, and the stress of having a colicky baby.
Our office staff can provide detailed information about costs, payment plans, and insurance coverage during your initial consultation. We’ll work with you to make care as affordable as possible while ensuring your baby gets the help they need.
Pediatric chiropractic requires specialized training and completely different techniques than adult care. Infant spines are much more flexible and delicate, so adjustments use only light finger pressure—never the quick, forceful movements you might associate with adult chiropractic care.
The assessment process is also different. Since babies can’t verbally communicate their symptoms, Dr. Rose relies on careful observation, palpation, and information from parents to understand what’s happening. Treatment sessions are typically shorter and occur in a calm, quiet environment.
The focus is on supporting the body’s natural development and healing processes rather than correcting major structural problems. Everything is scaled to your baby’s size, age, and developmental stage, ensuring they receive the most appropriate and effective care possible.
