When your baby cries for hours despite being fed, changed, and held, you’re not imagining things. Something is genuinely wrong, and you’re right to seek help.
Research published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics shows that 94% of colicky infants experience significant improvement with gentle chiropractic adjustments. These aren’t just statistics – they represent real families who finally got their nights back.
Your baby’s constant crying, back-arching, and inability to settle often stems from nervous system stress that occurred during birth. When we address the root cause through gentle spinal adjustments, babies typically begin settling within just a few visits.
Dr. Dan Roses comes from a family of chiropractors and has been receiving adjustments since birth. This isn’t just his profession – it’s been his life experience.
Growing up in West Orange, New Jersey, Dr. Roses earned his Doctorate from Life University and specialized training in pediatric techniques including the Webster Technique. He understands exactly what works because he’s witnessed the benefits firsthand for decades.
The LSP Industrial community deserves accessible pediatric care, especially when New Jersey faces critical shortages in pediatric specialists. We provide the gentle, effective care that helps families avoid long waits and out-of-state travel for their children’s health needs.
Your first visit starts with a thorough discussion about your baby’s birth experience, current symptoms, and your specific concerns. We examine how your baby moves, sleeps, and responds to touch.
The adjustment itself uses pressure so light it’s often compared to checking the ripeness of an avocado. There’s no twisting, cracking, or popping – just gentle contact that helps restore proper nervous system function.
Most babies relax immediately during treatment, often falling asleep on the adjustment table. You’ll typically see initial improvements within the first few visits, with continued progress as your baby’s nervous system learns to function optimally. We monitor progress closely and adjust our approach based on your baby’s unique response.

Our pediatric chiropractic care specifically addresses the nervous system dysfunction that contributes to infant reflux, colic, and sleep difficulties. We focus on the upper cervical spine and cranial areas that directly impact digestion and comfort.
LSP Industrial families often struggle with limited pediatric specialty options, making our accessible care particularly valuable. Unlike traditional treatments that manage symptoms, our approach targets the underlying nervous system stress that causes these issues.
Each treatment plan is customized for your baby’s age, symptoms, and developmental stage. We work with infants from just days old through childhood, adjusting our techniques as your child grows. Many families continue care preventively to support healthy development and avoid future issues.
Absolutely. Pediatric chiropractic adjustments use extremely gentle pressure – about the same force you’d use to check if fruit is ripe. There are no twisting motions, cracking sounds, or aggressive techniques.
Research shows no serious adverse effects from infant chiropractic care, with only seven minor effects reported across all studies. Dr. Roses has specialized training in pediatric techniques and has been working with babies since graduating from Life University.
The adjustment can be performed with your baby lying on your chest if that makes you more comfortable. Most babies actually relax and often fall asleep during treatment, which tells you how gentle and soothing the process really is.
Many parents notice changes within the first few visits, though every baby responds differently. Research shows that 94% of colicky infants experience significant improvement with chiropractic care, often outperforming traditional treatments.
The timeline depends on several factors: how long symptoms have been present, the severity of nervous system stress, and your baby’s individual healing response. Some babies settle immediately after their first adjustment, while others show gradual improvement over 2-3 weeks.
What’s important is that we’re addressing the root cause – nervous system dysfunction – rather than just managing symptoms. This means the improvements tend to be lasting rather than temporary relief that wears off.
Yes, and the results are often dramatic. Research indicates that 9 out of 10 infants experience significant improvement in reflux symptoms with gentle chiropractic adjustments. The key is understanding that reflux often stems from nervous system dysfunction affecting digestion.
When the upper cervical spine is misaligned from birth trauma, it can interfere with the vagus nerve that controls digestive function. Our gentle adjustments help restore proper nerve communication, allowing your baby’s digestive system to work as it should.
Parents typically report less spitting up, reduced back-arching during feeding, and babies who can finally lie flat without discomfort. The improvements often begin within the first few treatments as nervous system function normalizes.
Birth itself is the most common cause. Even normal, uncomplicated deliveries place significant stress on a baby’s spine and nervous system. The baby’s head and neck experience tremendous force during the birth process, which can create subtle misalignments.
C-sections, forceps deliveries, vacuum extractions, or prolonged labor increase the likelihood of spinal stress. Even factors like breech position in the womb or a very fast delivery can contribute to nervous system dysfunction that shows up as colic, reflux, or sleep problems.
The good news is that babies’ spines are incredibly responsive to gentle correction. What might take weeks to resolve in adults often improves rapidly in infants because their nervous systems are still developing and highly adaptable to positive changes.
Most babies benefit from 2-3 adjustments per week initially, then spacing visits further apart as symptoms improve. The total number of visits depends on your baby’s specific condition and how quickly they respond to care.
For acute issues like severe colic or reflux, we might recommend more frequent visits at first to provide faster relief. As your baby’s nervous system stabilizes, we typically reduce to weekly visits, then monthly maintenance care to support healthy development.
Many families continue periodic check-ups throughout childhood, especially during growth spurts or after falls and injuries. This preventive approach helps ensure your child’s spine develops properly and can prevent future problems from developing.
Many insurance plans do cover chiropractic care for children, though coverage varies by provider and specific plan details. We recommend calling your insurance company to verify your pediatric chiropractic benefits before your first visit.
We work with most major insurance plans and can help you understand your coverage. If you have questions about benefits or need assistance with insurance paperwork, our office staff can guide you through the process.
For families without insurance coverage or those with high deductibles, we offer affordable payment options. We believe every baby deserves access to gentle, effective care, and we work with families to make treatment accessible regardless of insurance status.
