What is being tested?
The trial tests if chiropractic adjustments can be a feasible treatment for colon cancer patients by looking at recruitment success and how well participants stick to the protocol. Participants will receive twice-weekly high-velocity neck adjustments over six weeks while their nervous system function and other health markers are monitored.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from HVLA cervical chiropractic adjustments may include temporary discomfort or soreness in the treated area. There could also be risks of injury due to the nature of physical manipulation but these will be closely monitored.
