Bedwetting

A number of clinical research studies demonstrate that chiropractic care can help with bedwetting by removing any irritation that may be affecting the nerves that control bladder function.

Bedwetting is stressful for everyone involved. Lack of bladder control can cause embarrassment, shame, and interfere with normal social development. All of the causes of bed-wetting are not fully understood. There are children whose bladders are underdeveloped for their age and who have difficulty recognizing when their bladder is full. This is much more common in children under four years of age.

If a child, who had been dry at night for a period of time - weeks or months - suddenly starts bed-wetting again, this may be a sign that something is wrong. Most often this happens when some form of stress is in the child's life: a new baby in the home, moving to a new neighborhood, or a divorce. Bedwetting may also be a sign of physical or sexual abuse or some other disease process. If your child wets the bed after having been dry at night in the past, it is important that they be seen by a doctor. The bed-wetting may be a sign that stress or a disease is causing the problem.

Chiropractic can help by removing any irritation that may be affecting the nerves that control bladder function. These nerves exit an area of the spine called the Sacrum. In adults, the sacrum is one large fused bone that is very resistant to injury. However, during childhood, the sacrum is separated into five individual segments. If these segments become misaligned, due to a fall or other type of trauma, they can compromise the nerves that are responsible for bladder function. While chiropractic is not typically a treatment for bedwetting, countless children have been helped by being adjusted. In fact, a number of clinical research studies have demonstrated that chiropractic care can help many children suffering from bedwetting. Contact us today!

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "I was referred to Family Health Chiropractic by a friend of mine. I was suffering from headaches, mid and low back pain. I was also experiencing fatigue, anxiety and low energy. While on medication the pain would be temporarily relieved, but the fatigue, anxiety and low energy would not go away. My pain was so bad at times that I could not stand or sit for very long without having to lay down. I felt relief from my headaches after just one week of adjustments and therapy. Dr. Jenni showed me several stretches that have really helped the stress and tension in my back and neck. I am still receiving treatment, but I feel so much better and my quality of life has improved. My energy is way up and the pain in my back is better as well. Family Health Chiropractic has changed my life and I am so grateful for them.

    Sincerely"
