Pediatric bed-wetting (nocturnal enuresis) is often related to sacral nerve dysfunction impairing bladder control. Research supports chiropractic sacral correction as an effective, drug-free approach for many children.
Nocturnal enuresis affects approximately 15% of 5-year-olds and 5% of 10-year-olds. While often attributed purely to developmental delays, a significant proportion of cases involve sacral nerve dysfunction that impairs the nervous system's ability to inhibit bladder contraction during sleep. The sacral nerves (S2-S4) directly innervate the detrusor muscle and urethral sphincter — sacral subluxation creates interference in this pathway. Multiple published case reports and studies demonstrate resolution of enuresis following chiropractic sacral correction.
Dr. Foss uses gentle sacral evaluation and correction protocols specifically designed for pediatric patients. SOT Category II pelvic work normalizes sacral mechanics and restores proper innervation through the S2-S4 nerve roots to the bladder. This is a gentle, non-invasive approach that many parents try before considering medication. Published case series report resolution or significant improvement in enuresis in a substantial proportion of children receiving chiropractic sacral care. Treatment is comfortable and children typically enjoy their visits.
At Pura Vida Chiropractic, Dr. Foss uses Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT) — a gentle, category-based system that addresses the spine, pelvis, and craniosacral rhythm as one integrated unit. SOT restores proper biomechanics, reduces nerve interference, and creates the neurological environment your body needs to heal itself.

Nocturnal enuresis can involve developmental factors (bladder capacity, sleep depth), antidiuretic hormone patterns, urinary tract issues, food sensitivities, and a sacral or lumbar nerve component affecting bladder control. Many children with persistent bedwetting have a structural pattern chiropractic addresses well.
Dr. Foss assesses the sacral and lumbar spine — the nerve supply to the bladder runs through these levels — and uses gentle pediatric SOT to correct any segmental dysfunction. Cranial work supports overall autonomic regulation. Many parents report significant reduction or resolution of bedwetting within 4–8 visits.
Most children see meaningful improvement within 4–8 visits over 4–6 weeks. Stable resolution often develops over 8–12 visits. Concurrent attention to fluid timing, behavioral support, and (when indicated) urological workup produces the best outcomes.
Yes. Pediatric chiropractic uses gentle, age-appropriate techniques. Dr. Foss has extensive pediatric experience and coordinates with pediatricians and pediatric urologists when concurrent medical workup is appropriate.
