Chiropractors help with Bedwetting too?

The most often mentioned alternative approach to bedwetting is chiropractic care. Chiropractic care for nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting) treats the bladder through manipulation of the lower spine and pelvis. Since the nerve supply to the muscles, which control urinary emptying, are connected to the brain through the spinal cord, it is believed that aligning the spine will correct any slow messaging or incomplete signals between the brain and the bladder.

Adjustments should include chiropractic manipulation of the lower back and neck.
And there is evidence to support this approach: A 1993 controlled study, which was presented to the National Conference on Chiropractic & Pediatrics, studied 46 children who were treated by chiropractors over 14 weeks and compared the results to 15 control subjects. The treated children had 17.9 percent fewer accidents after treatment. This study confirmed findings of other research showing positive results from chiropractic care.
