Can chiropractic care cure enuresis?

Accepted treatments include moisture alarms (to wake a person as she begins to urinate) or medications to lower urine production at night, calm the bladder or regulate sleep, according to the Mayo Clinic.On the Other: Enuresis Linked to Spinal InjuryRarely, enuresis may be related to an injury to the spinal cord, according to Medline Plus. When this occurs, chiropractic care may be helpful, but a doctor can best help an individual decide what form of treatment is most appropriate based on the injury.Bottom LineChiropractic care is not an accepted treatment for enuresis and should not be thought of as a cure.
