You know that helpless feeling when your baby won’t stop crying. When reflux makes feeding a battle. When everyone’s exhausted and nothing seems to work.
Here’s what changes when your infant’s nervous system functions properly: crying episodes that used to last hours become manageable. Feeding becomes peaceful instead of stressful. Your baby actually sleeps—and so do you.
Research shows that 63% of colicky infants experience meaningful reduction in crying after gentle chiropractic care. Many babies with reflux see improvement after just one visit. This isn’t about masking symptoms with medication—it’s about addressing the root cause so your baby’s body can do what it’s designed to do.
**SECTION 3 | ABOUT US**
Dr. Paul Roses originally wanted to be a pediatrician—his heart has always been with helping children. For over 30 years, he’s served families right here in the New Durham area, understanding exactly what local parents face.
His experience goes beyond typical practice. Dr. Roses has provided specialized care for infants at children’s facilities, working with the most vulnerable little ones. He’s witnessed firsthand how gentle adjustments can transform a baby’s comfort and a family’s peace of mind.
New Durham families trust Dr. Roses because he combines extensive experience with genuine compassion. When you’re dealing with a fussy baby at 3 AM, you want someone who truly understands what you’re going through.
**SECTION 4 | HOW IT WORKS**
Your first visit starts with questions, not adjustments. Dr. Roses wants to understand your baby’s birth experience, current symptoms, and your concerns as parents. This isn’t a rushed appointment—it’s a thorough consultation.
The examination is incredibly gentle. We’re talking about pressure no firmer than checking a tomato for ripeness. There’s no twisting, cracking, or popping. Most babies actually relax during the process, and many fall asleep.
Treatment focuses on removing interference in your baby’s nervous system, particularly around the neck and upper spine where birth stress commonly occurs. When these areas function properly, your baby’s digestive system, sleep patterns, and overall comfort often improve naturally. Many parents notice changes within the first few visits, though every baby responds at their own pace.
**SECTION 5 | SERVICE-RELATED INFORMATION**

Colic affects roughly 20% of infants in New Durham, just like everywhere else. But here’s what many parents don’t realize—that inconsolable crying often stems from nervous system stress that occurred during birth, even in seemingly “easy” deliveries.
Reflux is another common struggle. While some spit-up is normal, when your baby arches their back, refuses to eat, or seems uncomfortable after every feeding, there’s usually an underlying cause. Gentle adjustments can help the muscles and nerves controlling digestion work more effectively.
We also see significant improvement in breastfeeding difficulties, sleep disturbances, and even frequent ear infections. The key is understanding that your baby’s spine and nervous system control virtually every function in their tiny body. When everything is aligned and working properly, many of these issues resolve naturally—often faster than parents expect.
**SECTION 6 | FAQ**
Absolutely. Pediatric chiropractic techniques are specifically designed for babies and use incredibly gentle pressure—no more than you’d use to check if fruit is ripe.
A major safety study following 697 children through over 5,200 treatments found extremely low rates of adverse events. The techniques we use involve no twisting, cracking, or forceful manipulation. Most babies find the process soothing, and many actually fall asleep during treatment. It’s safe from day one of life.
Many parents notice changes within the first few visits, though every baby responds differently. Research shows that many infants experience decreased reflux symptoms after just a single treatment.
For colic, studies indicate that 63% of babies achieve clinically meaningful reduction in crying time. Some babies improve dramatically after one or two visits, while others need a few weeks of gentle care. We’ll give you realistic expectations based on your baby’s specific situation and response to initial treatment.
Beyond colic and reflux, we commonly help with breastfeeding difficulties, sleep problems, frequent ear infections, and general fussiness. Many babies struggle with latching issues due to neck tension from birth, which gentle adjustments can resolve.
We also see improvement in babies who seem constantly uncomfortable, have trouble sleeping, or cry excessively without obvious cause. The nervous system controls so many functions that when it’s working properly, multiple issues often improve simultaneously. Some parents are surprised when their baby’s sleep, feeding, and mood all get better together.
The techniques are completely different. Adult chiropractic often involves more forceful adjustments, but pediatric care uses incredibly gentle pressure—literally no more force than you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato.
We use specific techniques designed for developing spines and nervous systems. There’s no “cracking” or sudden movements. Instead, it’s more like gentle massage combined with precise, light touches to specific areas. The approach is also more holistic, considering feeding patterns, sleep habits, and overall development rather than just addressing isolated symptoms.
Not at all. Chiropractic care works alongside your pediatrician’s care, not instead of it. We encourage parents to maintain their regular pediatric visits and will communicate with your child’s doctor when appropriate.
Many pediatricians are familiar with the benefits of gentle chiropractic care for infants. If your baby is on medication for reflux or other conditions, chiropractic care may help reduce the need for those medications over time, but any changes should always be made in consultation with your pediatrician. It’s about giving your baby every advantage for healthy development.
The first visit is mostly talking. We’ll ask detailed questions about your pregnancy, birth experience, and your baby’s current symptoms. We want to understand the complete picture before any treatment begins.
The examination is incredibly gentle—checking for areas of tension or restriction in your baby’s spine and nervous system. If treatment is appropriate, it involves very light touches and gentle movements. Most babies tolerate it well, and many become more relaxed. You’ll receive specific recommendations for care frequency and what to watch for as your baby improves. The entire process is designed to be comfortable for both baby and parents.
