Can a chiropractor treat bedwetting?

Conditions that named non-physician doctors, mostly chiropractors, list as things they treat, grouped by who is most at risk if the advertised care is wrong. Every name links to the full dossier, the page it was said on, and the state rule we read it against.

All conditions

In Kansas and Minnesota, as in every state, a chiropractic license covers the spine, joints and muscles, not bedwetting. 3 practitioners we analyzed advertise it anyway. Enuresis is assessed by pediatricians, who look for urinary, endocrine and developmental causes. It is not a musculoskeletal complaint. Classifications reflect our review, not an adjudicated finding.
