Chiropractic and Bed-Wetting

Bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis) and chiropractic. Thirty-three patients (3 to 18 years old) who had nocturnal enuresis were placed under chiropractic care in this study.

An analysis of their records showed that 22 had resolution of symptoms for 12 months after beginning chiropractic care. Most of the children received two adjustments. Ten of those with bedwetting also found their constipation resolved. (2)
