Bedwetting or enuresis (the involuntary passage of urine) is a poorly understood problem that continues after the child reached five years of age. Some nocturnal bedwetting is related to maturation, especially in sleeping patterns or small urinary bladder capacity.
One of the common causative factors involved in nocturnal enuresis is categorized as bladder innervation disorder. This is the area in which the Doctor of Chiropractic can be of help to the child. Chiropractic studies have indicated that bedwetting has resolved when vertebral subluxations (nerve interferences) are corrected.
