There is a 15% chance for chronic bedwetting by the time children reach 5 years of age. A study published in 2015 reported cessation of bedwetting after gentle chiropractic adjustments. Young male children who experienced chronic bedwetting had nerve interference reduced through chiropractic care and soon after relief of bedwetting ensued.
To understand how chiropractic care relieves bedwetting, we must first understand the root cause of it. During sleep cycles, your body regulates breathing in order to keep carbon dioxide levels normal. When there is disruption to the Phrenic Reflex (usually by nerve interference in the upper neck), the breathing pattern and regulation is altered. As a result, carbon dioxide gets backed up, which then inhibits the bladder muscles made of smooth muscle tissue. Therefore, the release of urine happens as those smooth muscles are relaxed.
Restoring proper alignment to the upper cervical neck results in proper function of the Phrenic Reflex. This allows the body to regulate its breathing and restore control of the smooth muscle which make up the bladder. Amazing that bedwetting control comes from the nerves found in your cervical neck! Simple, gentle, specific chiropractic adjustments are needing to maintain homeostasis in children and adults!
