Testimonials: bedwetting

Having had a grandfather who was a chiropractor, way before they became “popular”, I have always known that chiropractic care would heal all of my family’s colds, flues, ear infections, strep throats, injuries and other common problems.  But never did I think that chiropractic care could help my son with a common and extremely embarrassing problem, bedwetting.  I had read much on the subject and feeling that family history played a large part, went the customary routes – cutting off liquids at an early hour, waking the poor little guy up in the middle of the night, loud alarm clocks, even the dreaded buzzer connected to a device in his underwear, but to no avail.  I discussed the problem with the pediatrician, who offered a “last resort” prescription to handle the problem, but I was not interested in medicating my son.

As we moved past the age of 5 and still had the problem, I began to feel that perhaps the emotional baggage of divorce and starting a high-pressure “school for the gifted” kindergarten were too much for my son to handle.  So, I turned to a child psychologist to try to solve the problem.  When this didn’t work, he offered me the same choices that had not worked previously and finally sent me back to the pediatrician for a “medical” solution.

For all of this time, we made our weekly visits to Waterfront Chiropractic and went on our merry way without ever discussing this embarrassing family secret.  Still wearing pull-up and having problems almost every night, being completely weary all of the time from getting up in the middle of the night and even trying his father’s solution of “bribery” my now 10 year old son was as sick and tired of this problem as anyone.

Finally, as we waiting one evening in the exam room, my daughter read one of the posters on the wall – Pathway to Health.  There is a small section on there that I had read before too – it discussed violent births and childhood problems that can be associated with it.  My son’s birth was not violent at all, I would in fact say it was “easy”, so I never thought to discuss a bedwetting problem with Dr. Stacy.  Well, that was the biggest mistake I could have made.  My daughter spoke up when Dr. Stacy entered the room and wouldn’t you know, within 3 specialized adjustments my son was “cured”!!

It has now been over 6 months and we are still free of this terrible problem.  It is remarkable and I’m so sorry that I never brought this to Dr. Stacy’s attention sooner.  My son is now confident and is free to sleep over at friend’s homes without worry.  We both get a good night’s sleep every night and don’t have to argue about being thirsty after 7 pm.

I can only recommend to everyone to discuss ALL health related issues with the chiropractor – even if you don’t think there is a chiropractic solution to your problem.  I waited WAY too long to find out that I underestimated the power of chiropractic care!!
