Colic, Bedwetting and Chiropractic

Colic

Colic, that excessive, inconsolable crying that affects some 40% of the infant population- what can chiropractors do? In one study, infants underwent spinal adjustments or received the drug dimethicone. "From trial day 5 onward, the spinal adjustment group did significantly better than the dimethicone group." By the end of the study, crying was reduced by 2.7 hours per day in the chiropractic group and only 1 hour per day in the drug group. Over the course of the 12 day study the chiropractic children saw a 67% reduction in crying and the drug group saw a 38% reduction. On the average the number of adjustments was 4.

In another clinical study, an eleven month old with severe, complicated, late onset infantile colic saw a dramatic improvement. The infant had been unable to consume solid foods for four months and suffered with severe constipation. Additionally, the infant exhibited extreme muscular weakness and lack of coordination. The baby was unable to crawl, stand, or walk and was generally unresponsive to his surroundings. Spinal adjustments resulted in immediate improvements in muscle strength, coordination, responsiveness and the ability to consume foods without vomiting. Another case profiles a three month old infant with colic and projectile vomiting. Complete resolution of the symptoms was a achieved within a 2 week treatment period, which consisted of spinal adjustments and craniosacral therapy.

In other examples, 94% of the cases receiving chiropractic care had satisfactory results.

Bed Wetting

It's a common and frustrating problem that parents have to deal with and the solution may be as simple as a visit to your chiropractor. The problem is bed wetting, or nocturnal enuresis, and research indicates that chiropractic care can reduce or eliminate the problem. One study showed a 50% reduction in the frequency of bedwetting and these improvements were noted after only one adjustment.

It seems that spinal problems in the lumbar (low back) and sacral (tailbone) region give rise to problems with bladder control by affecting the nerves that control the bladder. In many cases, problems in these spinal areas cause a decrease in the sensitivity of the bladder control mechanism, which results in involuntary bladder activity.

For children, growing up commonly includes multiple falls and injuries that may give rise to pelvic distortion that can adversely affect the bladder. Be sure to have your child evaluated by a chiropractor to ensure the best, and driest, health possible.
