It is estimated that 20% of all children wet their beds on a regular basis and many of them continue to do so in the teen years. Enuresis refers to the inability of a child to establish proper bladder control. While chiropractic care focuses on spinal structure and restoring normal nervous system function, many children have experienced improvements in bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis) as a result.
