Excessive flexible joints or being "double jointed" is an indication of increased ligament laxity. From a functional perspective, increased ligament laxity is a strong sign of adrenal insufficiency. This is also seen in people who either do not hold or do not respond to their osseous adjustments. It may also be an indication of a general need for connective tissue support. Balancing the overall structure of the body is essential and a general protocol for supporting the connective tissue is important.
The following is a list of nutrients that are useful for healing connective tissue:
- Vitamin B12
- Glucosamine hydrochloride
- MSM
- Vitamin B6
- Vitamin C complex
- Calcium and magnesium
- Essential fatty acids
- Chondroitin sulfate
