Chiropractic Therapy Can Help Children's Bed Wetting Problems

Copyright (c) 2011 Michael Martin

It is common for babies and toddlers to wet the bed. There are even times when 4-year old kids still do this, too. However, if a child is already in his puberty, then it can be annoying and a puzzle as well. Although it happens anywhere in the globe, you as parents need to do something to help your child get over this problem.

The medical terminology for bed wetting is nocturnal enuresis. Some parents tell their children to lessen their intake of water at night, which is what most doctors recommend. But it is very embarrassing especially on the part of the child that the techniques that were advised did not work.

Let me tell you this - a good way to combat bed wetting is to submit your child to a chiropractor.

Spinal adjustment can help your child get over this problem. A subluxation on his spine causes the phrenic reflex to work improperly. The pressure that pushes the vertebra to be misaligned prevents it to function appropriately while the child is asleep.

With chiropractic care, your child's spine will be placed in its correct position by performing spinal manipulation.

Studies had been made on the relation of bedwetting to a misaligned spine. The Journal of Manipulative and Physiologic Therapeutics did a study that involves 171 children who regularly wet the bed every night. Chiropractic care was extended to all of these kids via spinal adjustments.

It resulted to shrinking the bedwetting problem of the children whereby 25% of the participants reduced this issue by 50%. Fifteen percent did not experience any wet nights because of the treatment, which means they were cured of their problem.

In another study that consisted of 46 kids, only 31 were treated with chiropractic care. The rest were left untreated. Of the 31 treated kids, 18% had lessened their bedwetting while the untreated group kept on experiencing wet nights.

In some cases, the bedwetting can be completely solved. Others have reduced the wetness at night. A lot of the kids who received chiropractic care had improved after receiving one or two chiropractic treatment. Some manifest the improvement after a month of treatment. Can you imagine what this can do to your child's ego and to you as well?

If the recommendation of your pediatrician did not work, do not lose hope. There is still a solution -- bring your child to a chiropractic to receive chiropractic care. Help your child redeem his self-esteem.
