You know something’s not right when your baby cries for hours, arches their back in discomfort, or struggles to sleep peacefully. That 2 a.m. Google search telling you to “wait it out” isn’t helping anyone get rest.
Here’s what changes when we address the real problem. Your baby starts sleeping through the night instead of waking up every hour in distress. Feeding becomes enjoyable again instead of a battle filled with spit-up and tears. You finally see that content, peaceful baby you’ve been hoping for.
The difference happens because we’re not just managing symptoms. We’re restoring proper nervous system function so your baby’s body can do what it’s designed to do – digest properly, sleep soundly, and develop without interference.
Dr. Paul Roses has been serving families in the Hudson County area for decades, originally drawn to healthcare because he wanted to help as many children as possible. What started as a calling to pediatrics evolved into something even more powerful when he discovered chiropractic’s ability to facilitate natural healing.
At Roses Chiropractic, we understand that Powerhouse families value solutions that work without relying on medications or invasive procedures. You want answers, not Band-Aids. You want your child to thrive, not just survive.
We’ve helped countless local families move from sleepless nights and constant worry to confident parenting and happy, healthy children. Because when your baby feels better, your whole family feels better.
First, we listen to your story completely. Every detail about your baby’s birth, feeding patterns, sleep struggles, and what you’ve already tried matters to us.
Next comes our gentle examination. We’re looking for subtle misalignments in your baby’s spine and nervous system that might be causing the problems. These often happen during birth – even normal deliveries can create stress on a baby’s delicate system.
Then we begin incredibly gentle adjustments. Nothing like what you might imagine from adult chiropractic care. We use light fingertip pressure, about the same amount you’d use to check if a tomato is ripe. Most babies find it soothing and often fall asleep during treatment.
Many parents notice changes right away – babies relax, stop crying, and seem more comfortable. Others see gradual improvements over a few visits as we help retrain their nervous system to function properly.

We specialize in the unique needs of infants and children throughout Powerhouse and the greater Hudson County area. Your baby’s nervous system is still developing, which means it’s also incredibly responsive to gentle correction.
Our approach addresses the most common challenges Powerhouse parents face: colic that seems to have no cause, reflux that makes feeding miserable, sleep issues that exhaust the whole family, and feeding difficulties that worry you about your baby’s growth.
What makes us different is our understanding that these aren’t separate problems – they’re often connected to nervous system stress that started before your baby was even born. Birth interventions, positioning in the womb, even normal delivery can create tension that interferes with your baby’s ability to eat, sleep, and be comfortable.
Local families choose us because we don’t just treat symptoms. We restore function so your baby can develop the way nature intended, without interference.
Absolutely. Pediatric chiropractic care is among the safest forms of healthcare your baby can receive when performed by a trained professional. The techniques we use for infants are completely different from adult adjustments.
We use incredibly gentle pressure – about the same amount you’d use to check if fruit is ripe. There’s no twisting, popping, or forceful movements. Most babies find the treatment so relaxing they fall asleep during their visit.
Studies consistently show that chiropractic care for infants has an excellent safety record. We’re trained specifically in pediatric techniques and understand the delicate nature of your baby’s developing spine and nervous system.
Many parents notice changes within the first few visits, though every baby responds differently. Some babies relax and stop crying immediately after their first adjustment. Others show gradual improvement over several sessions as their nervous system learns new, healthier patterns.
Research shows that 94% of colicky babies improve with chiropractic care. For reflux, many babies experience decreased symptoms after just a single treatment, especially when the reflux is caused by spinal misalignment affecting digestion.
The key is consistency. Just like it takes time to retrain any pattern in the body, helping your baby’s nervous system function properly often requires a series of gentle adjustments to create lasting change.
The most overlooked cause is nervous system stress that often begins during birth. Even normal deliveries can create tension in your baby’s spine and nervous system. Birth interventions like C-sections, vacuum extraction, or forceps increase this stress significantly.
When your baby’s nervous system gets stuck in “fight or flight” mode, it affects everything – digestion, sleep, muscle tension, and comfort. The nerves that control your baby’s digestive system can’t function properly when there’s interference in the spine.
This is why some babies seem to cry for “no reason” or have reflux that doesn’t respond to feeding changes. Their little bodies are uncomfortable because their nervous system isn’t communicating effectively with their digestive system.
Most pediatricians today recognize that chiropractic care can be a valuable part of your baby’s healthcare team. We encourage open communication with your pediatrician and are happy to coordinate care when needed.
Many local pediatricians actually refer families to us when traditional approaches aren’t providing relief. They understand that chiropractic care addresses problems from a different angle – focusing on nervous system function rather than just managing symptoms.
We always recommend keeping your pediatrician informed about all aspects of your baby’s care. This collaborative approach ensures your baby gets the most comprehensive support possible for optimal health and development.
Infant chiropractic requires specialized training and completely different techniques. We use gentle fingertip pressure instead of the manual adjustments you might think of for adults. There’s no twisting, cracking sounds, or forceful movements whatsoever.
The pressure we use is so light that we often demonstrate it by pressing on a bathroom scale to show parents it’s only a few ounces of pressure. We’re working with your baby’s delicate, developing spine and nervous system, so everything must be incredibly gentle and precise.
We also focus on different areas than adult care. For babies, we pay special attention to the upper neck and cranial areas that are most affected by birth stress and most influential on digestion, sleep, and comfort.
Your first visit is all about understanding your baby’s unique situation. We’ll spend time discussing your pregnancy, birth experience, feeding challenges, sleep patterns, and everything you’ve tried so far. No detail is too small.
Then comes a gentle examination where we assess your baby’s spine, nervous system function, and overall comfort. This isn’t uncomfortable for your baby – most find it soothing. We’re looking for areas of tension or misalignment that might be contributing to their discomfort.
If we find areas that need attention, we’ll begin gentle adjustments right away. Many babies relax immediately and often fall asleep during treatment. We’ll also teach you simple techniques you can use at home to support your baby’s comfort between visits.
