Chiropractic and bedwetting: a case study

Bedwetting:

A nine-year-old boy with nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting) was presented for chiropractic care after unsuccessful medical approaches. Subluxations were located and corrected in the cervical and lumbo-sacral spine regions. By the seventh visit he had been dry for two weeks and continued to stay dry at a four-month follow-up. (14)
