Your baby’s crying doesn’t have to be a mystery you can’t solve. When traditional approaches leave you feeling helpless, pediatric chiropractic care addresses the root cause of infant discomfort.
Research shows that 94% of colicky babies improve with gentle chiropractic adjustments, and 9 out of 10 infants with reflux experience significant relief. These aren’t just statistics—they represent real families who found answers when nothing else worked.
The difference isn’t just in the crying that stops. It’s in the sleep that finally comes, the feeding that becomes peaceful, and the confidence you gain knowing your child is getting the care they need to thrive.
Dr. Paul Roses has been serving Hudson County families since 1981, originally drawn to healthcare because he wanted to help as many children as possible. His extensive experience includes caring for infants at St. Clare’s Home for Children, where he witnessed remarkable transformations in young patients.
Located in nearby Bayonne and serving Secaucus families, we combine decades of hands-on experience with advanced, state-of-the-art chiropractic techniques. Our approach focuses on the body’s natural ability to heal without drugs or invasive procedures.
What sets our practice apart is the genuine understanding that your child’s health affects your entire family’s well-being. Every adjustment is performed with the gentle precision that comes from years of working specifically with infants and children.
Your first visit begins with a thorough but gentle assessment of your baby’s spine and nervous system function. Dr. Roses takes time to understand your pregnancy, birth experience, and any factors that might be contributing to your child’s discomfort.
The adjustment itself uses extremely gentle pressure—about the same amount you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato. Your baby typically lies on your chest during the treatment, creating a calm, secure environment. Many babies actually relax or even sleep through their adjustments.
Most parents notice changes within the first few visits. Some babies experience immediate relief, while others show gradual improvement over several sessions. We’ll create a personalized care plan based on your child’s specific needs and response to treatment, ensuring the safest and most effective approach for your family.

Pediatric chiropractic care addresses more than just colic and reflux. We treat breastfeeding difficulties, sleep issues, constipation, torticollis (head tilt), and ear infections by optimizing nervous system function.
In Secaucus and the broader Hudson County area, many families are discovering that regular pediatric chiropractic care supports their children’s overall development during those critical early years when the spine develops rapidly. Our approach is particularly valuable given the physical stress children face today from poor posture and increased screen time.
Birth trauma from C-sections, prolonged labor, or difficult deliveries can create tension in a baby’s spine and skull, potentially impacting the vagus nerve that controls digestion. Gentle adjustments help restore proper nervous system communication, allowing your child’s body to function as it was designed to. This drug-free approach aligns with many Secaucus families’ preference for natural healthcare solutions that support their children’s long-term wellness.
Absolutely. Pediatric chiropractic adjustments are completely different from adult treatments and use extremely gentle pressure—similar to checking the softness of your eyelid. Dr. Roses has been safely treating infants for over four decades, including newborns just minutes old.
The techniques are specifically designed for developing bodies and nervous systems. Research consistently shows that chiropractic care for children has a significantly lower injury risk than primary care treatments—76% lower, in fact. Most babies remain comfortable during adjustments, and many actually relax or sleep through the process.
Many parents notice changes after the first few visits, though every baby responds differently. Research shows that 94% of colicky babies improve with chiropractic care, and some families see immediate relief—babies often stop crying and relax right after an adjustment.
For reflux, studies indicate that 9 out of 10 infants experience significant improvement. The timeline depends on factors like the severity of symptoms, how long they’ve been present, and your baby’s individual response to care. We’ll monitor your child’s progress closely and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
Some babies need only a few sessions, while others benefit from regular adjustments over several weeks. The goal is always to provide lasting relief, not just temporary symptom management.
Pediatric chiropractic care helps with a wide range of conditions by optimizing nervous system function. Beyond colic and reflux, we successfully treat breastfeeding difficulties, sleep disturbances, constipation, torticollis (head tilt), and recurrent ear infections.
Our approach also supports children dealing with the physical stress of modern life—poor posture from increased screen time, sports injuries, and the general strain of rapid growth and development. For older children and adolescents, chiropractic care effectively addresses back pain, headaches, and sports-related injuries.
The key is that chiropractic care doesn’t just treat symptoms—it addresses the underlying nervous system interference that can affect multiple body functions. When spinal alignment is restored, many seemingly unrelated issues often improve simultaneously.
Birth is a physically demanding process for babies, and even normal deliveries can create tension in the spine and skull. C-sections, prolonged labor, forceps delivery, or vacuum extraction increase the likelihood of spinal misalignments that can interfere with nervous system function.
These misalignments may affect the nerves controlling digestion, which is why many babies with difficult births experience colic, reflux, or feeding difficulties. The vagus nerve, which plays a crucial role in digestion and the gut-brain connection, can be particularly affected by upper cervical tension.
Dr. Roses has extensive experience identifying and gently correcting these birth-related issues. Early intervention often prevents problems from becoming more established patterns, giving your baby the best opportunity for healthy development from the very beginning.
Unlike approaches that focus on managing symptoms, chiropractic care addresses the root cause of infant discomfort. While medications like anti-gas treatments show only 38% improvement in crying, chiropractic care demonstrates 67% reduction in crying episodes.
Our approach is drug-free and works with your baby’s natural healing ability. Rather than suppressing symptoms, gentle adjustments restore proper nervous system communication, allowing the body to function optimally. This means addressing not just the crying, but the underlying issues affecting digestion, sleep, and overall comfort.
The treatment is also completely natural and safe, with no side effects or long-term concerns. Many families appreciate having an effective option that doesn’t involve medications or invasive procedures, especially for such young children.
The frequency of visits depends on your child’s specific condition, age, and response to care. For acute issues like colic or reflux, we typically recommend more frequent visits initially—often twice per week for the first few weeks—then spacing appointments further apart as symptoms improve.
Some children experience lasting relief after just a few sessions, while others with more complex issues may benefit from regular maintenance care as they grow and develop. We create individualized treatment plans and adjust them based on your child’s progress.
The goal is always to provide the minimum effective care needed to achieve lasting results. As your child’s nervous system stabilizes and symptoms resolve, visits become less frequent. Many families choose to continue with periodic check-ups to support their child’s ongoing development and prevent future issues.
