What's Causing Your Back Pain?
Back pain is one of the most common — and most misunderstood — complaints in healthcare. It rarely has a single cause, and treating only the symptom is why so many people stay stuck. Understanding what's actually driving your pain is the foundation of care that lasts.
Muscle Tension & Soft Tissue Injury
Overuse, repetitive strain, sudden movements, or long hours in a fixed posture can all lead to muscle guarding and soft tissue damage. This is the most common driver of everyday low back pain, and it often responds well to targeted treatment.
Disc Problems
Herniated, bulging, or degenerating discs can create direct pressure on nearby nerves — producing sharp local pain, referred pain, or numbness that radiates outward. Disc issues often require specific treatment approaches and may benefit from decompression therapy.
Spinal Misalignment
When spinal joints lose their proper motion or position, the body compensates by overloading other areas. These compensation patterns can create pain far from the original problem and tend to worsen over time if not addressed at the source.
Nerve Irritation & Sciatica
When the sciatic nerve becomes compressed or irritated — often by a disc or tight muscle — pain, tingling, or weakness can radiate deep into the glute or all the way down the leg. This pattern is often misidentified and undertreated.

How Dr. Cody Treats Back Pain
Every treatment plan is built around your specific exam findings — not a one-size-fits-all protocol. After your full evaluation, you'll know exactly what's contributing to your pain and which combination of therapies is most appropriate for your case.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Using Diversified and Flexion-Distraction techniques, Dr. Cody restores proper joint motion, reduces nerve pressure, and targets the mechanical causes of your pain. For patients who prefer a gentler approach, the Activator method is also available. Each adjustment is informed by your evaluation findings — not routine.
Soft Tissue Therapy & Dry Needling
Tight muscles and myofascial trigger points are a common but overlooked contributor to back pain. Targeted soft tissue therapy and dry needling can help release the tension that pulls the spine out of alignment and perpetuates the pain cycle.

For patients dealing with disc-related back pain, spinal decompression therapy uses gentle, controlled traction to relieve pressure on compressed discs and surrounding nerves. It's designed to create the space needed for disc material to retract and tissues to heal — without surgery or medication.
Active Rehabilitation
Pain relief is only the beginning. Dr. Cody incorporates specific in-office exercise instruction into your care, and every patient receives a personalized home exercise program — a custom PDF with exercise names, reps, frequency, instructions, and a video of Dr. Cody performing each movement. Your recovery doesn't stop when you leave the office.
Getting Out of Pain Is Just the Start
Dr. Cody's approach focuses first on fast, meaningful pain relief — then on building the long-term skills and habits that may help you stay out of pain. Every patient leaves with a clear understanding of their condition, the deficits that contributed to it, and what they can do on their own to maintain their results. The goal is never dependency on treatment — it's independence.
"The education aspect of healthcare has been lost."
— Dr. Cody Noyes, Function ChiropracticWhat to Expect When You Come In
Your care plan starts with a comprehensive evaluation — not a guess. Before any treatment is recommended, Dr. Cody spends time understanding your full history, running objective tests, and analyzing your movement so that nothing is assumed or overlooked.
Many patients find that the evaluation alone gives them clarity they haven't had despite years of dealing with back pain. You'll leave Visit 1 with answers, and you'll leave Visit 2 with a plan and your first treatment.

What Patients Are Saying
Real results from real patients in the Fox Valley area.
"Dr. Cody is an absolute pleasure to work with. He was able to assess and address my needs without a ton of unnecessary visits. My goal was to get back in the gym without pain and he did just that. He is very insightful, used new technology to assess, and I loved the mobility aspect with easy home exercises. I would definitely recommend Dr. Cody for not only back pain, but hip and pelvic mobility issues contributing to back pain."
⭐ Google Review"I have been going to a chiropractor off and on since I was 16 years old. For the first time I have found a chiropractor who listens to my concerns, established a relationship and understanding of what my goals are and has met them. Cody does a great job coaching me to understand what I can do on my own through exercises that help me get better each day. So my treatments aren't just temporary they are actively improving my overall health. Highly recommend!"
⭐ Google Review"The best chiropractor in all the suburbs. He is straight forward with a plan, is up front with costs, and always up to date with insurance. I came in with shoulder problems, he developed a plan, and I couldn't be happier with progress. Don't waste your time and money with other chiropractors, go to Function!"
