Reclaiming Rest: A Natural Approach to Bedwetting Relief for All Ages
Bedwetting is a frustrating and often sensitive issue that affects both children and adults. Whether it's a child who struggles to stay dry through the night or an adult silently dealing with nighttime accidents, the impact on confidence, daily life, and emotional well-being can be significant. At Dr. Noah Banks’ chiropractic office in Bentonville, Arkansas, we offer a natural, non-invasive approach that addresses the root causes of bedwetting through the power of chiropractic care.
What Causes Bedwetting?
Also known as nocturnal enuresis, bedwetting is more common in children, but it can persist into adulthood. Causes of bedwetting may include:
Delayed nervous system development
Spinal misalignments interfering with bladder control
Deep sleep patterns that prevent waking when the bladder is full
Stress or anxiety
Hormonal imbalances
Neurological dysfunction
Many conventional treatments rely on medication, alarms, or behavioral modifications. While these may offer temporary solutions, they don’t always address the underlying issue—especially if it's related to the nervous system. Chiropractic care, on the other hand, focuses on optimizing how the body functions, which can make a big difference in long-term bladder control.
The Role of the Spine and Nervous System
The brain and bladder communicate through a complex network of nerves. These nerves originate in the spinal cord, particularly in the lower back (lumbar spine) and sacral area. If there is a misalignment—what chiropractors call a subluxation—in these regions, it can cause interference in the nerve signals that control bladder function.
This nerve interference may prevent the body from recognizing a full bladder, delay the signals that trigger bladder contraction, or make it difficult to control urination. Chiropractic adjustments gently realign the spine, removing interference and allowing the nervous system to communicate effectively. When the nervous system functions optimally, the body is better able to regulate bladder activity, especially during sleep.
Chiropractic and Bedwetting in Children
At Dr. Noah Banks’ office in Bentonville, Arkansas, we often see families seeking help for children who have been unable to overcome bedwetting through traditional methods. Chiropractic care for children is safe, gentle, and tailored to the child's unique development stage.
Benefits of chiropractic care for bedwetting in children include:
Improved nerve function: Enhancing the communication between brain and bladder
Fewer nighttime accidents: Over time, many children experience fewer incidents
Increased self-esteem: Children gain confidence as they stay dry through the night
Drug-free solution: No need for medications with side effects
Some studies and many case reports have shown that children undergoing chiropractic adjustments, especially in the sacral area, often experience significant improvement in bedwetting within a few weeks to months.
Can Chiropractic Help Adults with Bedwetting?
Absolutely. Although less commonly discussed, adult bedwetting—also called secondary nocturnal enuresis—can occur due to:
Nervous system dysfunction
Spinal injuries or trauma
Chronic stress or anxiety
Sleep disorders
Bladder infections or inflammation
For adults, chiropractic care helps restore proper alignment and function, reducing pressure on nerves and supporting bladder control. Many adults find that regular chiropractic adjustments not only help with enuresis but also improve sleep quality, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.
