Bedwetting
Is your child still struggling with bedwetting? Learn how the nervous system connects to bladder control and what our approach looks like. Free guide, Royal Oak MI.
It’s estimated that 5 to 7 million children wet their beds most or some nights. Bedwetting can cause embarrassment for kids and frustration for parents as they may not know what to do to help. Up to the age of 4 or 5, the majority of children lack sufficient bladder control at night.
Two primary muscles control the emptying of the bladder: the detrusor and trigone muscles. The nerves that leave the spinal column in the lower back and sacrum operate these muscles.
During a child’s younger years, the sacrum has five separate sections. As a child grows older, the segments fuse together to create the triangular-shaped bone that adults have at the base of the spine. If these sections misalign from activities such as learning to walk or ride a bike, they may compromise the nerves that control bladder function.
