Built to Be Different.
From Day One.
14+ years of clinical experience. One-on-one care, every visit. A practice designed around getting you better — and keeping you that way.
One Provider. One Standard. Every Visit.
Dr. Cody founded Function Chiropractic with a simple frustration: patients were being cycled through appointments without ever understanding what was actually wrong with them. Ten minutes, an adjustment, out the door — and back in pain a week later.
He built a practice that works the way he wished patients were treated. One provider, from your first visit through discharge. A full evaluation that actually measures what’s happening in your body. And a commitment to making sure you leave every appointment knowing more than when you walked in.
I’ve Been the Patient
In the middle of his career, Dr. Cody experienced a significant L5-S1 disc injury. That experience — the frustration, the uncertainty, the searching for real answers — changed how he approaches care. He understands what it’s like to not know what’s wrong, to have tried everything, and to finally find something that actually works.
