You’ve tried everything—bouncing, swaddling, different feeding positions—but your baby still cries for hours. The exhaustion is overwhelming, and you’re desperate for a solution that actually works.
Research shows that 9 out of 10 infants experience significant improvement in reflux symptoms through gentle chiropractic care. When your baby’s spine and nervous system function properly, digestion improves, tension releases, and those marathon crying sessions become a thing of the past.
Parents consistently report better sleep patterns, easier feeding, and calmer, more content babies after just a few gentle sessions. Your little one deserves comfort, and you deserve rest.
Dr. Paul Roses has been caring for Journal Square families for over 30 years, bringing specialized expertise in pediatric chiropractic care to Hudson County. A Bayonne native and St. Peter’s University graduate, Dr. Roses earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life Chiropractic College in 1981.
His experience extends beyond typical practice—he provided on-site care for 9/11 first responders and treated babies at St. Clare’s Home for Children, witnessing remarkable healing in even the most challenging cases. This depth of experience means your child receives care from someone who truly understands infant and pediatric needs.
Journal Square parents choose us because they want proven expertise combined with genuine compassion for their children’s wellbeing.
Your first visit begins with a comprehensive consultation where Dr. Roses listens to your concerns and reviews your child’s health history. There’s no rushing—this is about understanding your baby’s specific needs.
The examination uses only gentle, hands-on assessment techniques. No invasive procedures, no forceful movements. The pressure we use is lighter than what you’d use to check if a peach is ripe—that’s how delicate pediatric adjustments are.
Treatment focuses on removing nervous system interference that may be affecting your child’s digestion, sleep, or comfort. Many parents see improvements after just one session, with most babies showing significant progress within three visits. You’ll be present throughout every step, and Dr. Roses explains exactly what he’s doing and why.

Pediatric chiropractic care addresses the root causes of common infant issues rather than just masking symptoms. This approach supports your baby’s natural healing abilities and promotes healthy development.
Journal Square parents bring their children to us for help with colic, reflux, breastfeeding difficulties, ear infections, sleep disturbances, and general wellness care. The techniques are specifically adapted for growing bodies, ensuring safety while maximizing effectiveness.
Unlike medications that can have unknown side effects on developing systems, chiropractic care works with your child’s body. This natural approach often reduces the need for antibiotics and other interventions, giving parents peace of mind about their treatment choices. We also collaborate with your pediatrician to ensure comprehensive care for your child.
Yes, pediatric chiropractic care is extremely safe when performed by an experienced practitioner like Dr. Roses. The techniques we use for babies are completely different from adult adjustments—there’s no twisting, popping, or forceful movements.
The pressure applied is incredibly gentle, often described as no more than the light touch you’d use to check the ripeness of a peach. Dr. Roses has over 30 years of experience treating infants, including work with medically fragile babies at St. Clare’s Home for Children.
Many parents bring their newborns in within days of birth to address any tension from the birthing process. The examination and treatment are performed with you present, and Dr. Roses explains each step to ensure your comfort and understanding.
Many parents notice improvements after the first session, with most babies showing significant progress within three visits. Research indicates that 9 out of 10 infants experience meaningful improvement in reflux symptoms through chiropractic care.
For colic, studies show that 94% of cases improve with gentle chiropractic adjustments, often dramatically reducing crying time and improving sleep patterns. However, every baby is unique, and Dr. Roses will discuss realistic expectations based on your child’s specific situation.
The key is addressing the underlying nervous system interference that may be contributing to your baby’s discomfort. Once proper nerve communication is restored, the body’s natural healing processes can work more effectively, leading to lasting improvements rather than temporary relief.
We help Journal Square families with a wide range of pediatric concerns, including infant colic, gastroesophageal reflux, breastfeeding difficulties, ear infections, sleep disturbances, and general wellness care. We also address developmental concerns like torticollis and support healthy posture development in growing children.
Our focus is on conditions where nervous system function plays a role in your child’s symptoms. When spinal misalignments interfere with nerve communication, it can affect digestion, sleep, immune function, and overall comfort.
Treatment isn’t limited to specific diagnoses—Dr. Roses evaluates each child individually to determine how chiropractic care can best support their health and development. We work collaboratively with your pediatrician to ensure comprehensive care that addresses all aspects of your child’s wellbeing.
No referral is required for your child to receive chiropractic care. However, we believe in collaborative healthcare and encourage open communication with your pediatrician about all treatments your child receives.
Many pediatricians in the Journal Square area are familiar with Dr. Roses’ work and appreciate our conservative, gentle approach to pediatric care. Some even refer patients directly when they believe chiropractic care could be beneficial.
If your child is under medical care for any condition, we’ll coordinate with your healthcare team to ensure treatments complement each other. This collaborative approach often leads to better outcomes and gives parents confidence that all aspects of their child’s health are being addressed appropriately.
Chiropractic care can begin as early as a few days after birth. Many parents bring their newborns for evaluation shortly after delivery to address any tension or misalignments that may have occurred during the birthing process.
The birthing process, whether natural or cesarean, can create stress on a baby’s spine and nervous system. Early intervention with gentle adjustments can prevent these issues from developing into bigger problems later.
There’s no upper age limit either—we treat children through their teenage years, adapting techniques as they grow and develop. Each age requires different approaches, and our three decades of experience ensure your child receives age-appropriate care that supports their current developmental stage.
Breastfeeding problems often stem from tension in your baby’s neck, jaw, or cranial bones that makes it difficult to achieve proper positioning and latching. This tension frequently occurs during birth and can significantly impact feeding success.
Gentle chiropractic adjustments release this tension, improving your baby’s ability to turn their head, open their mouth properly, and maintain the correct position for effective nursing. Many mothers notice immediate improvements in latching after their baby’s first adjustment.
We’ve helped countless Journal Square families overcome breastfeeding challenges that were causing stress for both mother and baby. When feeding becomes easier and more efficient, babies gain weight better, cry less, and both parent and child can enjoy this important bonding time without frustration or pain.
