Rode Chiropractic

One day I came to a stop light at an intersection and I came to a stop, and the next thing I know I am getting hit from behind by a car going 50+ miles an hour because they didn’t see the the stop light. I went to the emergency room and my back hurt a little bit at the time, but they told me the pain would really appear after a couple days and it sure did. Three days after the accident I could not move my neck and I had a severe amount of pain in my lower back. Regular daily functions were very difficult to do, I missed school, work, and lot of other activities due to the limited motion I had. I went to the doctors and they told me that nothing was broken and I just needed therapy. I decided I needed something else. I found Dr. Rode in the yellow pages and he was able to see me immediately. He took a history, did an examination, took X-rays and found four different areas that needed work. I started having sessions and my back was improving at a very good rate. My back was finally the way it was originally and I am finally able to work, drive, and play soccer, and all the other normal things I was able to do before the accident. Hopefully no one has car accidents or any sort of injuries but if they do then definitely try Dr. Rode’s office and don’t go for surgery or anything like that. Try it and hopefully you will have great results like me. more

I was in a car accident that caused me to have headaches every other day. These headaches were quite bad, sometimes at a level of 8 out of 10. I had a lot of pain in my low back and tightness in my upper back. I tried taking Advil and other pain pills but they didn't help much. When looking for a chiropractor in Poway I found Dr Rode on the internet. He asked me some questions about my pain and then too a series of x-rays and did various orthopedic test to see where exactly the pain was coming from. It seems I had a few vertebrae that were slightly rotated. He then set out a treatment plan for me. I started off with coming in five days a week and then quickly decreased that with time. The back pain and headaches made it hard for me to play softball and soccer which I like to play a lot. Because of Dr Rode and his chiropractic treatments I feel great and can play to the best of my ability. I no longer have any headaches and I can move pain free. My back is now back to its correct alignment. I would highly recommend going to Dr Rode. He has made my back feel brand new. more

I began to have some really bad digestive and intestinal issues and experience some bleeding, I was sent to have a colonoscopy. After the procedure was complete the doctors couldn’t find any direct cause for my problems. The only explanation he could think of was that there seemed to be a problem with the communication that takes place between my brain and my digestive system. Not knowing what else to do he prescribed me some extremely strong and expensive probiotic pills and call him in two weeks. I walked out thinking “Great another pill to be on and another hit to my budget, and why the heck did my brain and digestive system stop talking to each other.?” Enter Dr. Rode. I met Dr Rode and learned a little of what he does. Impressed enough by the man alone, I felt confident and comfortable enough to visit his office and have x-rays done to see if we could find some answers. Answers were found. I had a water skiing accident 5 years ago that twisted up my spine. Though I suffered from my injury to my hamstring, I was not having back pain that put me on alert. The twisted spine resulted in a clamping down of the nerves coming out of my spine. He was able to show me on his chart which nerves of mine were being impinged and these happened to be the nerves to my digestive system and more specifically my intestines. Finally the answer. My brain couldn’t talk to my intestines because the nerves had pressure on them. I thought my MD sounded ridiculous telling me my brain and digestive system were not communicating anymore. Well he was completely correct but unfortunately opted to prescribe me a pill rather than advise that I see a doctor who is an expert on the nervous system, a chiropractor. Dr Rode put me on a plan of frequent adjustments and in only a month’s time, I no longer suffer with these issues I was experiencing. I take no pills and my body is back to a proper working machine with all lines of communication intact. I thank Dr. Rode for his care, genuine concern, desire for solutions, and expertise. Thank you Dr. Rode! Pros: Very thorough in explanation of what is causing my problems more

I sought out chiropractic care to see if it could help with my sciatica. I was experiencing pain in my low back that went down my left leg. It was very painful and caused me to avoid most any physical activity. Even something simple like sitting in a chair was uncomfortable unless it had good low back support. If it didn’t I had to consciously sit abnormally erect. To see if I could get relief I then decided to see Dr. Rode. He took a set of x-rays of my spine and identified unleveling of my pelvis, and misalignment of the rest of my spine. Dr Rode explained to me why these problems were causing pain. After my first treatment I had quite a bit of relief, which progressed quickly to almost complete relief in just a couple weeks. I can say that after two months of treatment I have been able to resume my normal daily activities. Thank you Dr. Rode. Pros: Easy parking, nice office, no waiting more

I met Dr. Rode thru my networking group, and heard his 10 minute presentation. That’s when I really paid attention to what chiropractic care can do to treat many problems that I had no clue were related to my spine. I had for about 3 years or more severe jaw pain, every time I ate, yawned or just moving my mouth you could hear the snapping. It was so painful I had been to my primary doctor who referred me to a special- ist. I had been to the dentist who gave me mouth guards to wear at night. None of these things were helping, I was even con- sidering having TMJ surgery hoping it would help make the pain go away. The headaches were coming and going and still nothing would help. So I decided to give Dr. Rode a try. After the fist few visits, I noticed a huge difference. My head- aches had subsided and my jaw and face were already feeling better. I continued my sessions till I got too large from my pregnancy, but it has been about four months since I’ve been to Dr. Rode and still no problems with my jaw or headaches. I have since become a believer of chiropractic care and would recommend this to anyone with any symptoms. You never know the connection it has to your spine and how it may be cured with a little adjustment to your back. Pros: Beautiful office more

I hurt my back lifting a case of soda. Afterwards my left leg went numb and there was a shooting pain in my back. I tried Aleve and Ibuprofen but they didn't help at all. Every bump I went over in my truck caused intense pain. I found Dr. Rode's office he asked me some question, did an exam and took some films of my spine. He then went over everything that he found. After the first adjustment, I remember saying to myself ""Oh Thank God"". Unlocking my spine was instantly soothing. The pain was alleviated in only a few visits. I am now happily playing golf, snokeling and riding rides at the fair. Thank you Dr. Rode. Pros: Beautiful Office, Easy Parking, Easy Access off Poway Road more

For many months now I have been suffering from lower back pain. I thought that it was something I just had to live with. I am the mother of two kids and I am always carrying around my daughter while chasing after my son. The pain was getting so bad - it really affected the kind of mom I could be. Thankfully, a friend of mine had been treated by Dr. Rode and suggested that I try out chiropractic care. I have to admit I was hestitant at first but after meeting Dr. Rode, I felt really comfortable and excited about the treatment plan. I found him to be very professional, the office space is beautiful - it was just a very good experience overall. I have recommended him to many of my other mom friends. I am now free of the pain and back to being the kind of active, happy mom I want to be. Thanks Dr. Rode! more

I visted Dr. Rode because I would wake up in the morning with a headache. It would last all day long. I also had neck pain but it was the headaches that caused me to seek help. Dr. Rode helped get rid of my headaches and neck pain. I recommend Dr. Rode to anyone who has headaches like I used to have. more
