Dr. Sid Williams, founder/president of Life College, and Dr. Nell Williams, senior vice president for student affairs, sign and finalize a bond issue for additional construction at the college.
MARIETTA, Georgia -- For the second time in five years, Life President Dr. Sid Williams has finalized a multi-million dollar bond issue to allow continued growth at the college he founded.
The $37 million in bonds, issued by the Marietta Development Authority, will finance Phase II of the college's campus-wide construction, including the expansion and renovation of the Sport Science Center and gymnasium, additions to the Basic Science Center, and completion of a new track and field complex.
In 1990, Life became the first chiropractic college in the country to achieve an investment grade rating on insured revenue bonds from Standard and Poor's, the nation's foremost bond rating agency. The $14 million earned from the sale of those AAA-rated bonds financed Phase I construction and renovation projects that included the Sports Science Center, Basic Science Center, and the 450-foot skybridge.
When sports chiropractors first appeared at the Olympic Games in the 1980s, it was alongside individual athletes who had experienced the benefits of chiropractic care in their training and recovery processes at home. Fast forward to Paris 2024, where chiropractic care was available in the polyclinic for all athletes, and the attitude has now evolved to recognize that “every athlete deserves access to sports chiropractic."
It is estimated that 61% of patients with CTS avoid taking surgical options due to postoperative complications and costly surgical procedures.

Recent studies also have unveiled a game-changing adjunct to chiropractic treatments for CTS: nerve flossing.
Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?
