Your baby sleeps through the night. Feeding time becomes peaceful instead of stressful. The constant crying stops, and you finally see your little one comfortable and content.
Research shows that 9 out of 10 infants experience significant improvement in reflux symptoms with pediatric chiropractic care. Many parents notice their baby relaxes and stops crying immediately after gentle adjustments.
This isn’t about managing symptoms forever. It’s about addressing the root cause so your baby’s nervous system can function properly, their digestion improves naturally, and your whole family can finally rest.
Dr. Paul Roses has been serving Hudson County families for over three decades, including providing specialized care for infants with unique health challenges. He’s worked with babies as young as a few weeks old, helping them overcome feeding difficulties, sleep issues, and developmental concerns.
Hamilton Park families choose us because they know their most precious family member is in experienced hands. Dr. Roses personally follows up with every patient, ensuring your baby gets the individualized attention they deserve.
This community values quality healthcare, and that’s exactly what you’ll find here—gentle, effective care that puts your baby’s comfort and development first.
First, we conduct a thorough but gentle examination to understand your baby’s specific challenges. This includes reviewing their birth history, current symptoms, and any feeding or sleeping difficulties you’ve noticed.
Next comes the adjustment itself. Using techniques specifically designed for infants, Dr. Roses applies gentle pressure—similar to checking the ripeness of an avocado. Your baby typically lies on your chest during treatment, creating a calm, secure environment.
Many parents see immediate changes in their baby’s demeanor. The crying often stops, tension releases, and babies frequently fall asleep right after treatment—a sign that their nervous system has shifted into a relaxed state where healing can happen naturally.

Pediatric chiropractic care addresses the unique challenges babies face from birth through their first years. Birth trauma—whether from prolonged labor, C-section delivery, or positioning in the womb—can create spinal misalignments that interfere with proper nervous system function.
In Hamilton Park, where families prioritize their children’s health and development, this specialized care helps with common infant issues like colic, reflux, ear infections, and breastfeeding difficulties. We also support proper spinal development during that crucial first year when your baby’s spine grows 50%.
Treatment includes gentle spinal adjustments, cranial work when needed, and guidance on positioning and feeding techniques that support your baby’s comfort at home. Each care plan is tailored to your child’s specific needs and developmental stage.
Absolutely. Pediatric chiropractic adjustments are extremely gentle and specifically designed for babies’ delicate systems. The pressure used is similar to what you’d use to check if an avocado is ripe—very light and controlled.
Research shows no serious adverse effects from infant chiropractic treatment, with only minor effects reported in studies. Dr. Roses has over 30 years of experience working with babies, including those with special health needs, so you can trust your little one is in skilled hands.
The techniques we use for babies are completely different from adult adjustments. Your baby will typically lie on your chest during treatment, creating a calm, secure environment that most infants find soothing.
Many parents notice immediate changes in their baby’s demeanor after the first adjustment. Babies often stop crying, relax visibly, and may even fall asleep during or right after treatment—this is a positive sign that their nervous system has shifted into a healing state.
For conditions like colic and reflux, research shows that 94% of cases see improvement with chiropractic care. While some babies experience relief after just one session, most benefit from a series of gentle adjustments over several weeks to achieve lasting results.
Every baby is different, but the goal is addressing the root cause of their discomfort rather than just managing symptoms. This means the improvements you see are typically sustainable as your baby’s nervous system learns to function properly.
Pediatric chiropractic care is particularly effective for digestive issues like colic, reflux, and constipation. It also helps with feeding difficulties, including problems with latching and nursing, as well as sleep disturbances and general fussiness.
Beyond these common concerns, chiropractic care can reduce the likelihood of ear infections, support immune system function, and ensure proper spinal development during those crucial early months. Some babies also benefit from treatment for torticollis (neck stiffness) and plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome).
The key is that all these conditions can be related to nervous system interference caused by spinal misalignments from birth trauma or positioning. By addressing these underlying issues, many seemingly unrelated symptoms improve naturally.
Chiropractic care can begin as early as the first few weeks of life, and many babies benefit from evaluation shortly after birth. This is especially important if there were complications during delivery, prolonged labor, or if your baby was in a difficult position in the womb.
The earlier we can address any spinal misalignments, the better chance your baby has for optimal development. During the first year, your baby’s spine grows 50%, making this a critical time to ensure everything is developing properly.
That said, it’s never too late to start. Whether your baby is weeks old or several months old, pediatric chiropractic care can still provide significant benefits for their comfort, development, and overall health.
Pediatric chiropractic uses completely different techniques than adult care. The adjustments are incredibly gentle—using only fingertip pressure rather than the more forceful techniques you might associate with adult chiropractic treatment.
Dr. Roses has specialized training in infant anatomy and development, understanding how a baby’s spine and nervous system differ from adults. The examination process is also adapted for babies who can’t communicate their symptoms verbally.
The treatment environment is designed for comfort too. Babies typically remain on their parent’s chest during adjustments, and the entire process is calm and soothing. Most babies find the experience relaxing rather than stressful, which is essential for effective treatment.
Most insurance policies include some chiropractic benefits, and many cover pediatric chiropractic care when it’s medically necessary. We’re happy to verify your specific coverage before your first visit so you know exactly what to expect.
However, don’t let insurance limitations dictate your baby’s care. Many families choose to invest in their child’s health and development regardless of coverage because they see the immediate and long-term benefits. Your baby’s comfort and proper development are investments in their future health and your family’s peace of mind.
We’ll work with you to make care affordable and accessible. The cost of a few gentle adjustments is often far less than ongoing medical treatments, medications, or the stress of sleepless nights and constant worry about your baby’s discomfort.
