He showed the doctor a bag of medication containing several kinds of pills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Previously, the patient had visited a medical facility in Ho Chi Minh City and was prescribed various medications. After taking the medicine for a few days, the young man reported that his back pain had improved, slightly, but started to feel fatigue. In addition, the pain was still lingering, preventing him from sitting for long periods; he was referred to ACC Chiropractic Clinic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">X-rays revealed that the patient was suffering from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/problems-we-treat\/disk-syndrome\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">disc degeneration<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, causing nerve compression and resulting in painful symptoms that hindered his movement. In this case, Dr. Eric Balderree chose to recommend a treatment plan that combined <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/acc-combined-therapies\/chiropractic-adjustment\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chiropractic adjustments<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> with<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/acc-combined-therapies\/physiotherapy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> physiotherapy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The goal of this approach is to realign the misaligned discs and joints, alleviating the nerve compression, which is the primary cause of his symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After more than a month of treatment, the patient&#8217;s condition improved, with no more <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/problems-we-treat\/low-back-pain\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">back pain<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and his movement returned to normal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;I was really shocked when I saw the patient&#8217;s bag of medication. If these medications relieve the back pain, they could affect other internal organs like the liver and kidneys. This is not healthcare; it creates a vicious cycle of pain shifting from one area to another, increasing the burden of illness and treatment costs,&#8221;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Dr. Eric shared.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is something Dr. Eric frequently witnesses, and it has been a concern for him throughout his more than 8 years of practice in Vietnam.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span id=\"A_Passion_for_Chiropractic\"><b>A Passion for Chiropractic\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/01\/treat-wrong-way-can-lead-to-new-health-problems-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10124\" src=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/01\/treat-wrong-way-can-lead-to-new-health-problems-1.png\" alt=\"treat wrong way can lead to new health problems 1\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/01\/treat-wrong-way-can-lead-to-new-health-problems-1.png 600w, https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/01\/treat-wrong-way-can-lead-to-new-health-problems-1-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Eric Balderee providing treatment to Nguyen Thi Anh Vien, Vietnam&#8217;s top swimmer.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Eric Balderree grew up in a family with a tradition of chiropractic care. His great-grandmother was also a chiropractor. Guided by her teachings on diet, exercise, and therapy, the young man developed a passion for this field.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He studied Chiropractic Therapy at Life Chiropractic College in the United States. Dr. Eric also holds a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, specializing in Pre-Physical Therapy from San Diego State University.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since 2013, he has practiced in the United States, Singapore, and Indonesia. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/about\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ACC clinic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in Vietnam is where he has been most impressed by the facilities and treatment methods for musculoskeletal conditions\u2014combining Chiropractic medicine with physiotherapy and rehabilitation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to Dr. Eric, the spine is the central organ that governs the body\u2019s activities. Nerves that branch out from the spinal cord affect internal organs and other parts of the body. When joints are misaligned, they can press on the nerves, causing numerous problems. Therefore, if possible, a chiropractor can adjust the joints and relieve the nerve compression, which often leads to significant improvement. This fascinating aspect of chiropractic care motivated Dr. Eric to pursue this profession as a career.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span id=\"Chiropractic_Care_for_Hard-to-Treat_Conditions\"><b>Chiropractic Care for Hard-to-Treat Conditions<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Eric shared an example of a 35-year-old female patient from Hanoi who frequently experienced migraines and nausea. She would have to stop her motorbike while riding because of dizziness, fearing she might have an accident. She had been treated in various places and taken many types of medications, but nothing worked. She was referred to ACC clinic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;I had the patient undergo X-rays. As initially diagnosed, the patient had an issue with a vertebra in her neck that was compressing the nerves and causing the headaches. After adjusting the vertebra, the patient\u2019s condition improved significantly,&#8221;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Dr. Eric explained.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span id=\"8220Always_Be_Honest_with_Patients8221\"><b>&#8220;Always Be Honest with Patients&#8221;<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/01\/treat-wrong-way-can-lead-to-new-health-problems-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10125\" src=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/01\/treat-wrong-way-can-lead-to-new-health-problems-2.png\" alt=\"treat wrong way can lead to new health problems 2\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/01\/treat-wrong-way-can-lead-to-new-health-problems-2.png 600w, https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/01\/treat-wrong-way-can-lead-to-new-health-problems-2-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Having treated thousands of patients over more than five years of working in Vietnam, Dr. Eric is dedicated to improving healthcare quality for both expatriates and locals.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition to chiropractic treatment, Dr. Eric is also concerned about the high incidence of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/problems-we-treat\/foot-problems\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">flat feet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> among children in Vietnam.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Compared to other countries, the rate of flat feet among children in Vietnam is quite high. Screening results in schools show that flat feet account for up to 75-80%,&#8221;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Dr. Eric shared.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since 2015, Dr. Eric has treated over 4,000 cases of flat feet out of a total of 11,000 patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;I hope to contribute towards reducing the rate of flat feet among children in Vietnam. It\u2019s important to change the perception many Vietnamese parents have about flat feet being a harmless condition, so that early treatment can be provided to prevent complications in the spine,&#8221;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Dr. Eric expressed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether treating flat feet or providing chiropractic care, Dr. Eric\u2019s principle is always be honest with his patients and never promise what he cannot deliver.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;For severe cases, if chiropractic medicine cannot treat them, I advise hospitalization for surgery or other interventions. I never promise what cannot be done for the patient. My professional principle is always to be truthful with patients,&#8221;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Dr. Eric concluded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8212;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span id=\"Book_Your_Appointment_Today\"><b>Book Your Appointment Today<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are struggling with pain or musculoskeletal issues, consider exploring the benefits of chiropractic care. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/acc.vn\/en\/contact\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Contact us<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> via WhatsApp at +84 <\/span><a href=\"tel:84946740066\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">946 740 066<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to schedule your consultation today.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ContentsA Passion for Chiropractic\u00a0Chiropractic Care for Hard-to-Treat Conditions&#8220;Always Be Honest with Patients&#8221;Book Your Appointment Today This is the advice from Dr. Eric Balderree of ACC Chiropractic Clinic regarding the situation where many people treat musculoskeletal conditions with painkillers, which cause side effects to other internal organs.
