The Effects of Chiropractic in Adults With Colon Cancer

The main objectives of this single-arm pilot trial are to investigate the feasibility of our protocol in terms of 1) recruitment, 2) adherence, 3) tolerability, 4) acceptability and 5) retention. We aim to recruit 20 participants with advanced colon cancer (stage 3-4) who will have assessments of their autonomic nervous system function, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels, and patient-reported outcomes. Thereafter, patients will be directed to a nearby field clinic to receive twice-weekly cervical assessments \& high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) cervical adjustments for a period of 6 weeks. Re-assessments will be performed following 2 weeks and 6 weeks of chiropractic care.
