Addressing Bedwetting with Chiropractic Care in Glastonbury, CT

Bedwetting is a common issue that affects many children, often leading to embarrassment and emotional distress. This distress can affect a child’s social interactions and self-esteem, as they may avoid sleepovers and other activities due to fear of embarrassment. In Glastonbury, CT, chiropractic care offers a supportive approach to managing bedwetting, enhancing children's confidence and quality of life.

Understanding Bedwetting in Children

While all infants start life without bladder control, most children achieve control over their bladder by the age of 5. However, many continue to struggle with nocturnal control, and only 15% of these children will naturally outgrow bedwetting without any intervention. Chiropractic care, while not a cure, has been reported by many parents to quickly improve their children's bedwetting issues.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Bedwetting may be linked to the nervous system, which controls the bladder through nerves that run from the spinal cord to the bladder muscles. These nerves are affected by the alignment of the spine, particularly in the lower back and sacrum area. Childhood is full of physical activities and minor falls, which can shift the spine's alignment and put pressure on these nerves, potentially leading to bedwetting.

During your visit to Thiele Chiropractic in Glastonbury, our chiropractors will look for any misalignments in your child’s spine that could be affecting their nerve function. The goal is to relieve this pressure through safe, gentle, and natural chiropractic adjustments, thereby improving bladder control.

Research Supporting Chiropractic Care for Bedwetting

Multiple studies highlight the potential benefits of chiropractic adjustments for bedwetting:

A study involving 165 children who were wetting the bed almost every night saw a reduction to three nights a week after receiving chiropractic care, with 20% of participants achieving complete dryness by the end of the study.
Another study compared 30 children receiving chiropractic adjustments to 20 children who did not receive any treatment; the group under chiropractic care saw a 25% reduction in bedwetting episodes.

These findings suggest that chiropractic care can significantly impact children’s ability to control their bladder, especially at night.
