Your baby’s excessive crying isn’t something you just have to endure. Research shows that 9 out of 10 infants experience significant improvement in reflux symptoms with specialized pediatric chiropractic care.
When your little one can finally sleep through the night, when feeding becomes peaceful instead of stressful, when those heart-wrenching crying episodes become rare instead of constant—that’s when you know you’ve found the right approach. Studies demonstrate that 63% of babies receiving gentle chiropractic adjustments achieve clinically meaningful reductions in crying time.
The difference isn’t just in the hours of sleep your family gets back. It’s in watching your baby’s face relax, seeing them settle into comfortable positions, and knowing they’re developing the way they’re meant to—without the interference that birth trauma or developmental restrictions can cause.
Dr. Paul Roses originally wanted to be a pediatrician—his heart was always with helping children. After discovering chiropractic’s gentle power to support the body’s natural healing, he’s spent over 30 years serving Hudson County families.
This isn’t a side service we offer. Dr. Roses comes from a family of pediatric chiropractors and has witnessed firsthand how gentle adjustments can transform a baby’s comfort and development. He’s provided specialized care in some of the most challenging situations, including working with critically ill infants where immediate improvements were observed.
In Hoboken Yards, families know they can trust us because we approach each baby with the same care we’d want for our own family. Our techniques are specifically modified for infant anatomy—no forceful adjustments, no unnecessary risks, just precise, gentle touches that help remove the restrictions keeping your baby uncomfortable.
Your first visit starts with questions, not adjustments. Dr. Roses wants to understand your baby’s birth experience, feeding patterns, sleep habits, and specific symptoms. Many issues trace back to positioning in utero, birth trauma, or early developmental restrictions that create tension in tiny spines.
The examination is gentle and thorough. Dr. Roses checks for subtle misalignments in the spine and skull, restrictions in jaw movement that affect feeding, and areas of tension that might be contributing to digestive discomfort or sleep problems. Everything is done while you hold your baby or with your baby lying comfortably on a soft surface.
Treatment involves incredibly light pressure—about the same pressure you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato. These aren’t the adjustments you might imagine from adult chiropractic care. Instead, they’re gentle touches that help restore proper movement and reduce nervous system interference. Many parents notice their baby relaxes immediately, and improvements in symptoms often begin within the first few visits. Most families see significant changes within 2-4 weeks of starting care.

Pediatric chiropractic care addresses the unique needs of developing nervous systems. Unlike adult treatments, every technique is modified for your child’s size, developmental stage, and specific condition. We treat infants as young as days old through adolescents, adjusting our approach as children grow.
For Hoboken Yards families, this means access to care that understands the specific challenges of urban parenting—from navigating stroller-friendly spaces to understanding how city living affects infant development. We recognize that local families often deal with unique stressors, from apartment living constraints to busy schedules that can impact family routines and infant sleep patterns.
Our services include treatment for colic, reflux, feeding difficulties, sleep disturbances, torticollis, and developmental concerns. We also provide guidance on positioning, feeding techniques, and developmental milestones. Each treatment plan considers not just the baby’s immediate symptoms but their overall growth and development trajectory. Research shows that children who receive early chiropractic care often experience better sleep patterns, improved immune function, and fewer behavioral issues as they grow.
Yes, pediatric chiropractic care is extremely safe when performed by a trained professional. Research following 697 pediatric patients who received over 5,200 chiropractic treatments found no serious adverse effects and only seven minor ones over three years.
The techniques we use for babies are completely different from adult chiropractic care. Dr. Roses uses gentle fingertip pressure—about the same amount you’d use to check if a tomato is ripe. There’s no forceful manipulation or sudden movements. Instead, the adjustments involve light touches that help restore proper spinal movement and reduce nervous system interference.
Babies can safely receive chiropractic care from birth. Our techniques are specifically designed for developing spines and nervous systems, taking into account the unique anatomy and needs of growing children.
Many parents notice changes within the first few visits, with significant improvements typically occurring within 2-4 weeks of starting care. Research shows that babies receiving chiropractic care often experience notable improvement within four visits, with complete resolution of symptoms possible within three months.
However, every baby responds differently depending on their specific condition, age, and how long symptoms have been present. Some infants relax immediately during their first adjustment and sleep better that same night. Others may need several sessions before you see consistent improvements in crying, feeding, or sleep patterns.
Dr. Roses will discuss realistic expectations based on your baby’s specific situation during your initial consultation. The goal is steady, consistent improvement rather than expecting instant results, though many families are pleasantly surprised by how quickly their baby’s comfort improves.
Pediatric chiropractic care can help with a wide range of infant and childhood conditions beyond colic. Common issues include gastroesophageal reflux (GERD), feeding difficulties, sleep disturbances, torticollis (twisted neck), plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome), and breastfeeding challenges.
Many of these conditions stem from restrictions or misalignments that occur during the birth process or from positioning in utero. Gentle chiropractic adjustments can help restore proper spinal alignment and nervous system function, which often improves digestive function, sleep patterns, and overall comfort.
We also treat older children for issues like recurring ear infections, behavioral concerns, developmental delays, and sports injuries. The key is that chiropractic care supports the body’s natural ability to heal and function properly, which can positively impact many different aspects of a child’s health and development.
Research comparing chiropractic care to traditional medications shows promising results for chiropractic treatment. One study found that 67% of babies receiving chiropractic care experienced decreased crying, compared to only 38% of babies treated with anti-gas medications.
Unlike medications that only treat symptoms, chiropractic care addresses underlying causes of reflux and digestive discomfort. Gentle adjustments help improve nervous system function, which can enhance the coordination between the brain and digestive system. This often leads to better stomach valve function and reduced reflux episodes.
Many parents prefer chiropractic care because it doesn’t introduce medications into their baby’s developing system. Prescription acid blockers and other reflux medications can have side effects and may interfere with normal digestive development. Chiropractic care works with your baby’s natural healing abilities rather than suppressing symptoms with drugs.
Your first visit focuses on understanding your baby’s history and current symptoms rather than immediately starting treatment. Dr. Roses will ask detailed questions about your pregnancy, birth experience, feeding patterns, sleep habits, and specific concerns you’ve noticed.
The examination is gentle and non-invasive. Dr. Roses will observe how your baby moves, check for areas of tension or restriction in the spine and skull, and assess overall alignment. You can hold your baby throughout most of the examination, and everything is done in a calm, comfortable environment designed specifically for families.
If treatment is appropriate, the first adjustment will be very gentle—just light fingertip pressure to help restore proper movement to restricted areas. Many babies actually relax during treatment, and some even fall asleep. Dr. Roses will explain everything he’s doing and answer any questions you have about your baby’s care plan and what to expect moving forward.
Treatment frequency depends on your baby’s specific condition, age, and how they respond to care. Initially, we typically recommend visits 2-3 times per week for the first few weeks to establish momentum in healing and symptom improvement.
As your baby improves, visits usually become less frequent—perhaps once weekly, then every other week, and eventually monthly for maintenance care. Acute issues like colic or reflux often require more frequent initial visits, while developmental concerns might need a longer but less intensive treatment schedule.
We believe in providing only the care your baby actually needs. Dr. Roses will regularly reassess progress and adjust the treatment frequency accordingly. Many families find that once initial symptoms resolve, occasional maintenance visits help support their child’s continued healthy development, but the goal is always to achieve maximum improvement with minimal intervention.
