Why aren’t my chiropractic adjustments holding?

Apart from having a serious underlying medical condition, there are a few possible reasons why you may have to get adjusted for the same condition over and over again.  For the purpose of this writing, we will discuss one very common cause. 

It has been observed by many chiropractors that have been treating patients for decades that their patients are needing more chiropractic adjustments for the same conditions than they did 30 or 40 years ago.

For example: I have had several patients, for whom medical reasons, have had their gallbladder removed.  They report that they feel better immediately after the surgery and perhaps for up to a year, but then their health starts to deteriorate.  They start having significant pain at the upper and mid back and moderate to severe digestive problems.   They also report getting adjusted a lot for the same body pains but it keeps coming back.

My patient’s surgeons tell them they can do just fine without their gallbladder.  However, based on my experience, people can live without a gallbladder but they’ll never be healthy.  The gallbladder is not a spare part and has a very important purpose regarding human health.

Luckily, there is a solution.  I use a highly regarded natural nutraceutical company whose products are designed to supplement a missing gallbladder among other conditions.  Specific nutrition to target certain health problems may be the best way I can help my patients hold their adjustments and improve their overall health.
