July 28, 2023 – Marietta, Georgia – Life University’s Dr. Sid E. Williams Center for Chiropractic Research (CCR) is currently seeking participants for a study to examine the effects of chiropractic care on patients with colon cancer.

Patients may qualify for the study if:

  • They have been diagnosed with stage 3 or stage 4 colon cancer.
  • Are receiving medical care from their doctor for colon cancer.
  • Are age 18 or older.

The study offers patients who qualify: three visits to Life University’s Midtown Atlanta Lab and six weeks of chiropractic care.
