Pediatric Chiropractic Care in La Porte
Adults and children alike live their lives through the nervous system. This remarkable system controls and regulates all the functions in the body. When there is an interference in the nervous system, it is forced into a sympathetic state, also known as fight-or-flight, in response to this interference or stress. Dr. Peres can help you and your children have balance in the nervous system between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. This balance allows a state of homeostasis to exist.
Better Health, From Birth On
As an adult, you know when you have a problem and can communicate about it, seeking help for any sickness or discomfort. Babies and children, however, can’t always tell us when something is wrong. They may not know that sickness or pain isn’t their normal state.
Interference in a child’s nervous system begins as early as the moment they’re born. Birth is a traumatic progress and can be even more troublesome if the pregnancy has been difficult or if intervention is needed. The child’s upper neck and back move through the birth canal in a way that stresses their body, often causing interference in the nervous system. Dr. Peres is trained to detect and correct these interferences, allowing your child to express their greatest health potential.
Gentle Care for Incredible Results
Infants and children require a lighter touch than adults. Dr. Peres is a member of the International Pediatric Chiropractic Association and is trained to help all ages of children. The lightest pressure from the fingertips can work effectively to treat babies. Some children can also benefit from noninvasive instrument adjusting, such as Activator Methods® and the ProAdjuster™, which is often used for those well into their 90s. The Diversified Technique can also work well for children while still being gentle.

What can chiropractic do for my child?
Dr. Peres’ son Colton was on every allergy medication, antibiotics, nebulizers and inhalers for his first year of life. Since getting adjusted, he hasn’t needed a single one!
