When your baby finally sleeps through the night, feeds without fussing, and stops that heartbreaking crying – that’s when you know chiropractic care is working. Research shows 9 out of 10 infants experience significant improvement with gentle pediatric adjustments.
Many parents notice changes after just one visit. Your baby latches better during feeding. The excessive spitting up decreases. Those rigid, arching episodes become less frequent. Sleep becomes more peaceful for everyone in the house.
This isn’t about managing symptoms forever – it’s about addressing the root cause so your baby’s nervous system can function properly and support healthy digestion, comfortable feeding, and restful sleep.
Dr. Paul Roses grew up right here in Bayonne and has been caring for local families for over 30 years. He originally wanted to be a pediatrician to help as many children as possible – and found his calling in chiropractic care.
His experience extends beyond typical practice. Dr. Roses provided on-site care for Fire and Police heroes after 9/11 and worked extensively with infants at St. Clare’s Home for Children in Elizabeth, witnessing remarkable improvements in babies under his care.
Harbor Place families trust us because we understand that every baby deserves gentle, effective care without unnecessary medications or invasive procedures.
Your first visit starts with Dr. Roses conducting a thorough history of your baby’s health and specific concerns. He’ll ask about feeding patterns, sleep habits, crying episodes, and any birth complications that might have affected your little one’s spine.
The examination is completely gentle – no forceful movements or scary adjustments. Dr. Roses uses incredibly light pressure, similar to what you’d use when checking if an avocado is ripe. He’ll assess your baby’s spine and nervous system to identify areas where nerve interference might be causing digestive issues.
Treatment involves gentle spinal adjustments that help restore proper nerve communication between your baby’s brain and digestive system. Most babies actually relax during treatment, and many parents report improvements in feeding, sleeping, and overall comfort within days of the first visit.

We specialize in treating the most common infant issues that keep Harbor Place families up at night. Colic affects up to 25% of babies, but gentle chiropractic adjustments have shown a 94% improvement rate in published studies.
Birth trauma is more common than most parents realize. Whether your baby was born naturally or via C-section, the birthing process puts tremendous pressure on their delicate spine and nervous system. Even minor misalignments can interfere with the vagus nerve, which controls digestion and the gut-brain connection.
Local families in Harbor Place and throughout Hudson County choose our pediatric chiropractic care because it addresses the underlying nervous system issues rather than just masking symptoms with medications. Your baby’s developing digestive system gets the support it needs to function properly, leading to better feeding, improved sleep, and a happier, more comfortable infant.
Absolutely. Pediatric chiropractic care is among the safest forms of healthcare your baby can receive. Practitioners have been treating infants for over 100 years with an excellent safety record.
The adjustments Dr. Roses uses are incredibly gentle – about the same pressure you’d use to check if an avocado is ripe. There’s no twisting, cracking, or popping involved. Most babies actually relax during treatment, and many fall asleep.
Unlike medications that can have side effects or surgery that carries risks, chiropractic care works with your baby’s natural healing abilities. Dr. Roses has over 30 years of experience and has safely treated countless infants throughout his career.
Many parents notice improvements after just one visit. Research shows that babies often experience decreased reflux symptoms following a single chiropractic treatment, especially when the reflux is caused by spinal misalignment.
Typical improvements include better latching during feeding, less spitting up, reduced crying episodes, and more peaceful sleep. Some babies sleep for longer stretches the very night after their first adjustment.
However, every baby is different. While some see immediate results, others may need a few visits for optimal improvement. Dr. Roses will develop a personalized care plan based on your baby’s specific needs and response to treatment.
Pediatric chiropractic care can help with many common infant issues including colic, acid reflux, feeding difficulties, sleep disturbances, and excessive crying. It’s also effective for breastfeeding problems, constipation, and ear infections.
The treatment works by removing interference in your baby’s nervous system, allowing proper communication between the brain and digestive organs. When the spine is properly aligned, the vagus nerve can function correctly, supporting healthy digestion and overall comfort.
Many parents also bring their babies to us for preventive care, recognizing that birth trauma can cause subtle spinal issues that may not show symptoms immediately but could affect development over time.
Birth is one of the most physically traumatic experiences our bodies ever undergo. During delivery, incredible pressure is placed on your baby’s delicate spine and nervous system, whether through natural birth or C-section.
If interventions like forceps or vacuum extraction were used, the stress on your baby’s spine is even greater. Even positioning in the womb can cause misalignments that affect how your baby’s nervous system functions after birth.
These spinal issues can interfere with the nerves that control digestion, leading to problems like colic, reflux, and feeding difficulties. Early chiropractic care addresses these problems before they become more serious, setting the foundation for healthy development.
Pediatric chiropractic requires specialized training and completely different techniques than adult care. Dr. Roses uses extremely gentle pressure – no more than what you’d use to test the ripeness of fruit.
The adjustments are specifically designed for a baby’s developing spine and nervous system. There’s no forceful manipulation, and the focus is on removing subtle nerve interference that can cause digestive and comfort issues.
We also understand child development and how spinal health affects everything from feeding and sleeping to immune function and overall growth. Our approach is holistic, considering your baby’s entire well-being rather than just treating symptoms.
Many pediatricians recognize the value of chiropractic care as a safe, natural complement to traditional medical care. We encourage parents to maintain open communication with their pediatrician about all aspects of their baby’s healthcare.
Chiropractic care doesn’t replace medical care – it works alongside it. If your baby has been diagnosed with reflux or colic by your pediatrician but traditional treatments haven’t been effective, chiropractic care offers a natural alternative.
The goal is collaborative care that puts your baby’s health and comfort first. Dr. Roses is always happy to communicate with your pediatrician about your baby’s treatment plan and progress to ensure everyone is working together for the best possible outcome.
