Bedwetting
CAN CHIROPRACTIC HELP?
Chiropractic care helps connect the brain to the body. The better the connection the more likely your brain is to identify that your bladder is full and let you know it’s time for the toilet!
Researchers found that after 10 weeks the children receiving chiropractic care had on average dropped from 9.1 wet nights over a 2 week period to 7.6 wet nights. The control group on the other hand didn’t really change at all, going from 12.1 wet nights before the trial to 12.2 afterwards.
How chiropractic works..
If your spinal dysfunction was manifesting as clumsiness then this is likely to improve with chiropractic care. If your spinal dysfunction was manifesting as back pain then this is likely to get better. If colic or bedwetting were related to the spinal dysfunction, then this may well improve.
