Bedwetting is a common issue that many children face, often causing embarrassment and emotional distress. This distress can affect a child’s social life and self-esteem, making them reluctant to participate in activities like sleepovers. In Pasadena, CA, chiropractic care offers a supportive approach to managing bedwetting, helping to boost children's confidence and overall quality of life.
While all infants start without bladder control, most children gain control by the age of 5. However, many continue to struggle with nighttime control, and only 15% of these children will naturally outgrow bedwetting without intervention. Chiropractic care, while not a cure, has been reported by many parents to help improve their children's bedwetting issues more quickly.
Bedwetting may be connected to the nervous system, which controls the bladder through nerves that travel from the spinal cord to the bladder muscles. These nerves can be affected by the alignment of the spine, particularly in the lower back and sacrum area. Childhood is filled with physical activities and minor falls that can shift the spine's alignment and put pressure on these nerves, potentially leading to bedwetting.
During a visit to Forever Young Chiropractic in Pasadena, our chiropractors will check 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.
