Bed wetting, also known as nocturnal enuresis, is an embarrassing occurrence for children and frustrating for parents. It's more common than you may realize ~ some sources estimate over 6 million school-aged children and pre-teens are affected by it. There are many reasons that could cause bed-wetting; among others, an imbalance in bladder muscles, urinary tract infection, sleep apnea, excessive fluid intake, stress or emotional issues, nervous system immaturity or lumbar, pelvic or sacral subluxation. However, laziness and disobedience are usually NOT causes, and the child should not be punished as a result.
There are 2 types of bed-wetting, or enuresis: primary and secondary. Primary Nocturnal Enuresis (or PNE) is when there has never been a period where the child did not wet the bed. Secondary is when the bed-wetting begins after a significant period of successful dry nights. There are different symptoms associated with each, which help your doctor diagnose which type your child may be struggling with.
The great news is that chiropractic can help! There have been may cases of bed-wetting that have been successfully treated with chiropractic adjustments, with some parents noticing a fairly immediate improvement! How chiropractic works is to identify the subluxated bones (which are the bones that are slightly out of their normal alignment, causing interference to the nerves that exit the spinal cord at that area) and correct their alignment. This is an easy and safe treatment to do, and is not embarrassing at all for the child. In my office, I adjust using a very gentle technique called KST, or Koren Specific Technique. It involves using a tool to gently adjust the bones of the spine and pelvis very specifically, often yielding results that patients haven't received through traditional chiropractic care. I have seen many cases of bed-wetting that have significantly decreased and some who have completely resolved. You or your child could be next!
Have you tried everything (including seeing your pediatrician) without success? Try chiropractic and you and your family may enjoy freedom from bed-wetting!
Health and happiness,
Dr. Laura Vanloon
