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 Minnesota, where we read the published scope rules for these practitioners, bedwetting is not among the permitted categories of practice as we read them. One practitioner we analyzed advertises 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.
