Bed Wetting
Bedwetting can be frustrating for both kids and parents — but it’s often not just a phase. At Palatine Family Chiropractic, we look beyond the surface and address the underlying neurological or spinal issues that may be contributing to nighttime accidents, offering gentle, effective care for long-term improvement.
Natural Support for Children Struggling with Bedwetting
How do we Help with Bed Wetting?
Bedwetting (also known as nocturnal enuresis) is the involuntary release of urine during sleep, and while it’s common in younger children, ongoing episodes may be a sign of nervous system interference. The nerves that control the bladder are connected to the lower spine. If there’s misalignment or tension in that area, it can disrupt bladder control — even when the child is otherwise healthy.
Chiropractic care helps restore normal nerve communication so the brain and bladder can coordinate more effectively.
How It Works
We start with a gentle spinal evaluation, focusing on the lower back and sacrum, where the nerves that influence bladder function originate. If misalignments are present, we use safe, age-appropriate adjustments to reduce interference. For many children, improving spinal function can lead to better bladder control and fewer nighttime accidents over time.
Why It’s Effective
Bedwetting is often treated with alarms or medications — but those approaches don’t address the underlying issue. If spinal misalignment is disrupting the connection between the brain and bladder, correcting that misalignment helps restore normal control. Chiropractic care is gentle, drug-free, and designed to support your child’s natural development.
