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!

  • "My daughter is 15 years old. She is in volleyball; she is very active. She runs and jumps on the trampoline. She is in volleyball and an active Sports person. I brought her to Dr. Powers because her spine is curved somewhat, she has bad knees, and flat feet. Since she has been coming here, she is also learning a lot and he is very thorough with her and explains how this goes with that, and that's why this is occurring. She really likes him, and we will keep coming here for future appointments as it helps her a lot.Keep up the great work.YMI enjoy coming here. Dr Powers is very comprehensive and explains everything, and I learn so much when I come here for my appointments. My back, neck, arm, groin, and ankle were in so much pain and thanks to him and his assistant it is getting better. I wish he was able to be my primary doctor and I will continue to keep coming to Future appointments so I continue to feel better. Thank you guys! Dr Powers and Terri... You are amazing!!"
