Can I improve my R squared and Adjusted R Squared values in my multiple regression model with existing data?

I am taking a theoretical approach to my multiple regression but the R squared and Adjusted R squared are both really low. I assume this means I can't improve my values with existing data and that the model is invalid? Can I do anything about it?

Maybe the relationships are non linear?
Maybe your theory sucks?
Maybe your data suck?

"Can I do anything about it?"
Really hard to say without knowing more about your data!
