A 34 month old boy with asthma and enuresis (bed wetting) had not responded to medical care. More than 20 emergency visits to the hospital had taken place for the asthma attacks during a 12 month history. Three chiropractic adjustments were administered over an 11 day period and the asthma symptoms and bedwetting ceased for more than 8 weeks.

The asthma and bedwetting reoccurred following a minor fall from a step ladder but disappeared after adjustments.

After a two year follow up, the mother reported no reoccurrence of the asthma or the bedwetting.
