Chiropractic Proven to Help Children with Bed-Wetting

Millions of children wake up every morning with wet pants and wet sheets resulting from poor bladder control. Bed-wetting, officially known as enuresis, occurs in children aged five or older who experience regular bed-wetting at least one or two times each week. The condition occurs both in children who never stopped wetting the bed as they mature and in children who temporarily overcame bed wetting but relapsed back into the pattern. Children do not wet the bed on purpose in either circumstance.

Enuresis traces back to multiple causes but few solutions help more children overcome this problem than chiropractic care. Many children that suffer from unwanted enuresis suffer from underlying causes found in their spine and nervous system. A well-known and respected medical website explains that a child wets the bed for one of a handful of reasons, the most glaring being that a child’s undeveloped nervous system fails to properly communicate with the child when their bladder is full.

Children learn bladder control at different ages. Children younger than four years old often wet their beds or clothes because they cannot yet control their bladder. Most children should exhibit bladder control through the night by age five or six. Healthy brain to body communication provides a child with the best opportunity to control and coordinate proper bladder function. Chiropractic care specifically addresses communication within the nervous system and helps children with bed-wetting problems. Chiropractors all over the world report the successful influence of chiropractic care for children suffering with enuresis.
