Why More Parents Are Choosing Chiropractic to Eliminate Bedwetting

Sara is an Overland Park mom who’s son is 8 years old.  He’s wet the bed almost every night.

“We only had a few dry nights during the past 8 years,” she explained. “We had tried lots of things.  We visited the urologist and limited the amount he drinks right before bed, but nothing seemed to help.”

“Then, one, night,  I was talking with a friend, and she suggested trying a chiropractic doctor.  After my son’s third chiropractic adjustment, he had a dry night.”

That’s life-changing for a mother.

And it’s a huge relief for a child who hasn’t been able to go to camp, spend the night with a friend or go on trips without the fear of waking up wet.

Success stories like this are why more and more parents are opting for a natural, non-invasive solution to bed-wetting.

But How Does It Work?

Your brain controls your bladder and every other cell, organ and system in your body.  When there is interference between the messages your brain sends out and those that your bladder receives, it can compromise your body’s ability to control your bladder.

Nerve impulses begin in your brain.  They then, travel down through your spinal cord and out between your spinal bones to your bladder and every other organ in your body.

Often, children who wet the bed are experiencing nerve interference.  When misaligned bones in their spine near their lower back pinch or irritate the nerves as they exit their spine, bedwetting can result.

Bottom line: If your child shows signs of nerve interference, a chiropractic doctor can probably help.  Overland Park chiropractic doctors specialize in locating nerve interferences caused by the bones of the spine when they are misaligned.  Through a thorough chiropractic exam (and usually X-rays), chiropractic doctors are able to identify any areas of the spine that are misaligned.

Once identified, they then treat those areas through chiropractic adjustments, and, if needed, physiotherapy.

Chiropractic adjustments are light impulses that chiropractors apply to joints to free up the areas of the spine that are’t functioning correctly.  This eliminates nerve interference and allows the proper messages to flow to and from the brain and the bladder.

Evidence that Chiropractic Can Help

Many children have found that chiropractic treatment completely eliminates their bedwetting.  In fact, in one study, 25% of children who received chiropractic adjustments had a 50% reduction in the number of wet nights.  None of the children in the control group experienced a reduction.
