Definition: ING syndrome is a repetitive motion disorder that results in discomfort felt in the body that usually originates from the muscles, nerves, bones, joints and other structures in the spine.

Classification:
There are several potential causes of ING syndrome. Diagnosis of the ING syndrome is directly related to excessive amounts of certain holiday activities. These activities include, but are not limited to: shoppING, decoratING, cookING, eatING, bakING, plannING, entertainING, stressING, wrappING, sleddING, skatING, SkiING, travellING, visitING, singING, laughING, drivING, shovelING, dancING . . . just to name a few.

Management of this condition:

Chiropractic Helps 11 Year Old Boy With Bedwetting - A Case Study

A research article published on October 19, 2010 in the scientific periodical, the Journal of Pediatric, Maternal and Family Health, documented the case study of an 11-year-old boy with a history of bedwetting and attention problems who was helped with chiropractic care.

The study reports that bedwetting is an extremely common problem in children, affecting between approximately 10 to 20.4% of children up to 7 years old. They note that among that group there is a spontaneous cure rate of 15% per year with about 2.3% of childhood bedwetters becoming adult bedwetters. The authors also point out that statistically there is a clear correlation between nocturnal enuresis and disruptive behavior as well as ADHD.

In this case an 11-year-old boy was brought to a chiropractor by his mother, for both his bedwetting, which occurred seven nights per week, and his attention problems. Both of these problems were present his entire life. The history notes that in his 11 years he had a total of 5-10 courses of antibiotics, and 5-10 total prescription medications.

A chiropractic examination and x-rays were performed and it was determined that there were various subluxations present, causing interference to his nervous system. Based upon the findings a course of specific adjustments was initiated to correct the subluxations.

In this case the boy was seen a total of 33 times over the course of his corrective care. During that time the study results showed that his bedwetting dramatically improved from 7 days per week to one time every two-three weeks. Additionally, the boy and his mother both reported that his attention problem also improved.

In the conclusion, the author summed up the boys case by stating; "He was diagnosed with vertebral subluxations by his chiropractor. These vertebral subluxations were reduced using a series of chiropractic adjustments and his symptoms started to significantly improve."
