Addressing Bedwetting with Chiropractic Care in Fort Mill, SC

Bedwetting is a common issue that affects many children, often leading to embarrassment and emotional distress. This distress can affect a child’s social interactions and self-esteem, as they may avoid sleepovers and other activities due to fear of embarrassment. In Fort Mill, SC, chiropractic care offers a supportive approach to managing bedwetting, enhancing children's confidence and quality of life.

Understanding Bedwetting in Children

While all infants start life without bladder control, most children achieve control over their bladder by the age of 5. However, many continue to struggle with nocturnal control, and only 15% of these children will naturally outgrow bedwetting without any intervention. Chiropractic care, while not a cure, has been reported by many parents to quickly improve their children's bedwetting issues.

Understanding Bedwetting in Children

Bedwetting may be linked to the nervous system, which controls the bladder through nerves that run from the spinal cord to the bladder muscles. These nerves are affected by the alignment of the spine, particularly in the lower back and sacrum area. Childhood is full of physical activities and minor falls, which can shift the spine's alignment and put pressure on these nerves, potentially leading to bedwetting.

During your visit to Foundations Chiropractic in Fort Mill, our chiropractors will look 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.

Research Supporting Chiropractic Care for Bedwetting

Multiple studies highlight the potential benefits of chiropractic adjustments for bedwetting:

A study involving 165 children who were wetting the bed almost every night saw a reduction to three nights a week after receiving chiropractic care, with 20% of participants achieving complete dryness by the end of the study.
Another study compared 30 children receiving chiropractic adjustments to 20 children who did not receive any treatment; the group under chiropractic care saw a 25% reduction in bedwetting episodes.

These findings suggest that chiropractic care can significantly impact children’s ability to control their bladder, especially at night.

What Patients Say About Foundations Chiropractic

I've been seeing Dr. Swalley for two years now, and I couldn’t be more grateful for his care. I first saw him while I was pregnant with my son, and he has been a vital part of our lives ever since. He even adjusted my son as a newborn and continues to treat him now as a toddler. Dr. Swalley truly listens, takes his time, and has an incredibly kind approach. I couldn't recommend him more highly!

Cecilia S.

I drive from Spartanburg, SC. That is about a 1.5 hour drive. That alone should sum it up. However the staff is so nice and helpful and the office is super clean. I never have to wait, they are very quick getting me back into a room. He practices the Gonstead technique which is very precise and the adjustments hold longer in my opinion. Waiting room is comfortable and open with lots of windows and there is also complimentary drinks. I highly recommend Dr. Swalley.

Bridget Kirkland

I've seen Dr. Swalley for almost 10 years now. Very recently, I experienced a nerve issue that some people have been recommended surgery for. I got with him right away and we worked out a plan to correct it. I can't thank him enough for what he's done to get me back to being pain free. He's the best!

Brandon Hall

Dr. Swalley has helped me and my family with multiple issues throughout the years to help us live a more comfortable life without pain. I wish I had my before and after xrays to share to show how he has corrected my back and neck. I recommend giving Dr. Swalley a chance to help you have a more comfortable life.
