Is Bedwetting a Challenge for Your Child?
If your child is among the thousands who experience bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis), you know how challenging it can be. This common issue affects up to 25% of children, and while the exact causes are often unknown, it's thought that some children's brains may not be effectively receiving signals that their bladder is full.
How Chiropractic Care May Help
Emerging research suggests that chiropractic care could be a beneficial option for some children struggling with bedwetting. Studies indicate that gentle, specific adjustments to the spine can improve the brain's awareness of what's happening within the body.
One notable study in 1994 involving 46 children found that those receiving chiropractic care had nearly two more dry nights over a two-week period compared to those who didn't. In fact, one in four children receiving chiropractic care experienced a 50% or more reduction in wet nights. While more research is needed, these findings suggest a promising link between improved spinal function and better bladder control.

Is It Safe for Children?
The safety of chiropractic care for children and infants has been thoroughly investigated. Research consistently shows that paediatric chiropractic care is safe, with adverse events being rare and usually mild and self-limiting (like temporary stiffness or soreness). Chiropractors focus on improving overall spinal function, which can, in turn, enhance the brain's ability to "notice" a full bladder and wake the child.
