Turning Challenges into Triumphs: How to Help Your Child With Bedwetting
bedwetting enuresis Jul 24, 2023Transforming Challenges into Victories: Supporting Your Child Through Bedwetting
Dealing with bedwetting, also known as Enuresis, is one of the most difficult issues faced by older children. This condition can cause embarrassment, emotional distress, and significantly impact your child’s quality of life. When your little one struggles with bedwetting, it tugs at your heartstrings, and finding a solution can be quite daunting.
If you've tried various methods like sleep studies, nighttime alarms, limiting water intake before bedtime, and waking your child to use the bathroom without success, please understand that you're not alone. There are steps you can take to empower your child and address their bedwetting. It's time to dig deeper and examine the role of the brain and nervous system in Enuresis.
Understanding Enuresis
Enuresis occurs when involuntary urination happens during sleep, beyond the age when staying dry can reasonably be expected. It's crucial to remember that bedwetting is not your child's fault and is entirely beyond their control. Enuresis can disrupt your child's sleep, leading to daytime sleepiness, irritability, and difficulty concentrating in school, exacerbating the struggle.
As parents, we have the ability to take charge of our child's health. While traditional medical approaches may suggest waiting it out or managing symptoms, there are actions you can take to seek out solutions that address the root cause.
The Impact of Neurologically-Focused Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Neurologically-Focused Pediatric Chiropractic Care is a specialized form of chiropractic care that offers a personalized approach to achieve lasting results. We focus on restoring and optimizing the function of the nervous system, which plays a crucial role in overall health, including bladder function. It regulates communication between your child’s brain and bladder, ensuring proper coordination and control.
When there's a disruption in the neurological communication between the brain and the bladder, or when the nervous system remains in a sympathetic fight-or-flight mode, the bladder may not function properly during sleep.
Several complex factors can contribute to a dysregulated nervous system and disrupted communication pathways. Emotional stress, developmental challenges, sensory processing disorder, inflammation, and even difficult or traumatic birth experiences can all play a role.
After being stuck in an excessive fight-or-flight sympathetic response throughout the day, the brain and nervous system "overreact" at night. This overreaction leads to an excessive parasympathetic response, causing the muscles of the bladder to relax excessively during sleep, resulting in bedwetting.
This is where Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care comes in. We can make a significant difference in your child’s health journey using advanced technology called INSiGHT scans, which can detect subluxation in your child’s nervous system. Releasing tension and restoring communication within the nervous system can help your child regain control of their bladder function.
